Hadith 5518

(1) His statement: “noble morals”: The intended meaning of morals here is states of being, which is why it is paired with “and to complete virtuous deeds” for outward actions like worship and speech. “Virtuous deeds” is the plural of “hasan,” contrary to linguistic convention. The essence is that his Shari’ah is the best of actions, and his way is the most perfect of states. (As stated in Al-Mirqat)

(۱) قوله: مكارم الأخلاق المراد من الأخلاق الأحوال، ولذا قوبل بقوله: وكمال محاسن الأفعال للأمور الظاهرة من العبادات والأقوال والمحاسن جمع حسن على خلاف القياس، وحاصله أن شريعته أفضل الأفعال وطريقته أكمل الأحوال. كذا في «المرقاة».
