Asking In A Polite Manner And Taking One's Rights Without Behaving In An Indecent Manner
Sunan Ibn Majah
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُؤَمَّلِ بْنِ الصَّبَّاحِ الْقَيْسِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُحَبَّبٍ الْقُرَشِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ السَّائِبِ الطَّائِفِيُّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ يَامِينَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ لِصَاحِبِ الْحَقِّ " خُذْ حَقَّكَ فِي عَفَافٍ وَافٍ أَوْ غَيْرِ وَافٍ " .
It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to the one who was entitled to something: “Take your rights in a decent manner as much as he can.”
