Hadith on Virtue: Be fair, be merciful, and keep your promises

Anas ibn Malik reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “When you judge, be just. When you make a covenant, keep it. When your mercy is sought, be merciful. Whoever does not do any of that, the curse of Allah, His angels, and all people will be upon him.

عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنْ حَكَمُوا عَدَلُوا وَإِنْ عَاهَدُوا وَفَّوْا وَإِنِ اسْتُرْحِمُوا رَحِمُوا فَمَنْ لَمْ يَفْعَلْ ذَلِكَ مِنْهُمْ فَعَلَيْهِمْ لَعْنَةُ اللهِ وَالْمَلَائِكَةِ وَالنَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ
