2799. Šāliḥ bin Abī Hassān said: “Iheard Sa‘eed bin Al-Musayyabsaying: ‘Indeed Allāh is Tayyib(good) and he loves Tayyib (what isgood), and He is Nazīf (clean) andHe loves cleanliness, He is Karīm(kind) and He loves kindness, HeJawād (generous) and He lovesgenerosity. So clean’ - I think hesaid - ‘your courtyards, and do notresemble the Jews.’” He said: “Imentioned that to Muhājir binMismār, and he said: “Āmir binSa’d [bin Abī Waqqāš] narrated itto me from his father from theProphet ﷺ, similarly, except that
he did not say: "Clean your courtyards." (Da'if) أَفْتِيكُمْ».
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Gharīb. Khālid bin Ilyās (a narrator in the chain) was graded weak, and he is also called Ibn Iyās.

Commentary
The aim is exhortation that the internal and external being of a human should be pure and the household should also be kept clean and tidy. The Jews would not keep their front courtyards clean, so their imitation must be avoided; while adhering to good character and manners, one should also give away wealth and property generously; because these characteristics are dear to Allāh, and Allāh has the best and the dearest Qualities and Attributes.
