حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَعْمَرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ، عَنْ أَشَجِّ عَبْدِ الْقَيْسِ قَالَ: قَالَ لِيَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم: إِنَّ فِيكَ لَخُلُقَيْنِ يُحِبُّهُمَا اللَّهُ، قُلْتُ: وَمَا هُمَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ: الْحِلْمُ وَالْحَيَاءُ، قُلْتُ: قَدِيمًا كَانَ أَوْ حَدِيثًا؟ قَالَ: قَدِيمًا، قُلْتُ: الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي جَبَلَنِي عَلَى خُلُقَيْنِ أَحَبَّهُمَا اللَّهُ.
Ashajj 'Abdu'l-Qays said, "The 1 ﷺ, said to me, 'You have two qualities which Allah loves.' I asked, 'What are they, ﷺ,?' He said, 'Forbearance and modesty.' I asked, 'Have I had them for a long time or are they new?' He replied, 'You have had them for a long time.' I said, 'Praise be to Allah who fashioned me with two qualities which Allah loves!'"
