Manners

Good Manners – أدب

When someone tells you something that you already know, don’t cut them off.

Ataa Ibn Abi Rabah has said:

إن الرجل ليحدثني بالحديث
فأنصت له كأني لم أسمع هذا الحديث من قبل
وقد سمعته قبل أن يولد

“A young man would tell me something.

And I would listen to him as if I have never heard it before.

But really, I had heard it before he was born.”

[“Siyar A’lam An-Nubala”, 5/86].
