Part of the excellence of a person's Islam is his leaving what does not concern him.
“Part of the excellence of a person's Islam is his leaving what does not concern him.”
The Prophet (ﷺ) clarified that part of the perfection and beauty of a Muslim's Islam, and the completeness of his faith, is keeping away from what does not concern him, and what does not pertain to him, what does not benefit him of words and deeds, or matters of religion and worldly life that are of no relevance to him.
The plain meaning, from HadeethEnc
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مِنْ حُسْنِ إِسْلَامِ المَرْءِ تَرْكُهُ مَا لَا يَعْنِيهِ».
Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Part of a person's excellence in Islam is his leaving what does not concern him."
What does Sunan al-Tirmidhi 2317 mean?
Narrated by Abu Hurayrah, recorded by al-Tirmidhi and others, and included by an-Nawawi among his forty hadiths, where he grades it hasan. The commentators define “what does not concern him” by its effect rather than its subject: anything, religious or worldly, that pulls attention away from what a person will actually be asked about.
