Abu Hurairah (Radhiallahu anhu) reported:
Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) never found fault with food. If he had inclination to eating it, he would eat; and if he disliked it, he would leave it.
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]
Commentary:
This Hadith throws light on the Prophet's excellent manners which ought to be followed by all Muslims. It is a deplorable state of affairs that when we find a dish a bit unsavoury, we lose our temper and create quite a scene in the house. May we follow the excellent example of our Prophet Muhammad (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam)!

Mention Allah's Name before starting to eat
`Umar bin Abu Salamah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Messenger of Allah (PBUH), said to me,
"Mention Allah's Name (i.e., say Bismillah before starting eating), eat with your right hand, and eat from what is near you.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
There are two things about this Hadith. First, we should start eating or drinking by pronouncing the Name of Allah. Second, we should eat from our side without stretching our hand to the side where someone else is eating. This may be the case when more than one or two people are eating the same kind of food from a single dish. Good manners do not allow it, yet in case a variety of food or fruit is lying before us on the table, we are free to take our pick.

Increase supplications in prostrations in your Prayers (Salat)
Abu Hurairah (Radhiallahu anhu) reported:
The Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said,
"A slave becomes nearest to his Rubb when he is in prostration. So increase supplications in prostrations.''
[Muslim]
Commentary:
This Hadith points out the exellence of supplicating while prostrating in Salat, as one gets closer to Allah in this position.

Show Leniency to your Debtors
Abu Hurairah (Radhiallaho anhu) reported:
The Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said,
"There was a person who used to loan money to the people and he used to say to his servant:
`When an insolvent person comes to you, show him leniency so that Allah may forbear our faults.'
So when he met Allah (i.e., when he died), Allah forgave him.''
[Sahih Bukhari - Book #56 - Hadith #687]
Commentary:
"Show him leniency'' implies three things in the present context - polite dealing, extension in the period of payment and remittance of debt. All these qualities are desirable and praiseworthy in Shari`ah. The incident reported in this Hadith relates to some person of a community of the ancient times, but it is such an illustrious example that it was liked by the Prophet (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) because he recommended it to his followers through his advice and practice. This action is certainly a means of winning the Pleasure of Allah (swt).
