just read the tafsir of Ibn Kathir of the following verse and Hadith Ash-Shabi reported that Shatiyr bin Shakl said: "I heard Ibn Masud say: `The most comprehensive Ayah in the Qur’an is in Surat An-Nahl
Surah Nahl
90. Verily, Allah orders justice and kindness, and giving (help) to the relatives, and He forbids immoral sins, and evil and tyranny. He admonishes you, so that perhaps you may take heed
Justice and kindness
Allah tells us that He commands His servant to be just, i.e., fair and moderate, and that He encourages kindness and good treatment. As He says:
And if you punish them, then punish them with the like of that with which you were afflicted. But if you have patience with them, then it is better for those who are patient. (16:126)
and wounds equal for equal. But if anyone remits the retaliation by way of charity, it shall count as atonement for him.
Giving (help) to the relatives
And give the relative his due and to the poor and to the wayfarer. But do not spend wastefully in the manner of a spendthrift. (17:26)
He forbids immoral sins, and evil
Say (O Muhammad): "(But) the things that my Lord has indeed forbidden are the indecencies, whether committed openly or secretly (7:33)
Admonishes you, so that perhaps you may take heed
meaning, He commands what He commands you of good and He forbids what He forbids you of evil;
This is the incident with Prophet Mohammed salaAllaahwaliuwasalam and Hadrat Uthman Radiallaahuanh, i am just quoting the last part of the Hadith
The Messenger of Allah said: (What did you see me do)
Uthman said: I saw you staring at the sky, then you lowered your gaze until you were looking to your right, then you turned to him and left me. Then you tilted your head as if you were trying to understand something that was being said to you.
(Did you notice that)
Uthman said, Yes’.
The Messenger of Allah said A messenger from Allah came to me just now, when you were sitting here.) Uthman said, A messenger from Allah’ The Messenger of Allah said,(Yes.)
Uthman said, And what did he say to you’
The Messenger of Allah said Verily, Allah orders justice and kindness…)
Uthman said: That was when faith was established in my heart and I began to love Muhammad .‘’
It is a Hasan Hadith having a good connected chain of narrators in which their hearing it from each other is clear.
