Waliuddin Abu Abdullah Mahmud Tabrizi, Selections from Muḥammadan Traditions…
“ No father has given his son a better present than good manners."' At Tirmidhi. It is related from Ibn Ma'sud that, ' The Apostle of God said, "Verily God Most High has divided among you your natural dispositions, as He has apportioned among you your sustenance. Verily God Most High gives the earth to those whom He loves and to those whom He does not love; but He does not give religion except to those whom He loves. And he to whom God gives religion, him He has certainly loved. And by Him in whose hand is my life! no servant becomes a Muslim until his heart and tongue do so. ”
