2a. Importance of Appearance

2a.
We are attractedor repulsed by what we see. If you look good in clean
clothes, smelling nice,you will be pleasant to look at and people will
be attracted to you and enjoy your presence. If you were the opposite,
people will look down on you even if you were a relative or friend. To
look good while visiting or being visited is an instinctive trait in
addition to being an Islamic manner. Do not ignore this aspect because
you consider yourself to beclose to your hosts or guests.
Imam Bukhari in his book, 'Al-Adab Al-Mufrad' reported that the great
follower Abi Al-�Alia Al-Riahi Al-Basri said, 'Muslims were at their
best when visiting each other.' Al-Hafez Al-Haithami in 'Majma
Al-Zawaed' (1:169) reported that Thabet Al-Banani, the student of Imam
Anas bin Malik said, 'When I used to visit Anas, he would call for a
perfume and run it along his cheeks.' Accordingly, if you were visited
at home while dressed very casually, as it sometimes happens, you
should change for your visitor. This will enhance his respect for you
and will complement your hospitality. It is, after all, the manners of
the early Muslims./
