حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْحَجَّاجِ، حَدَّثَنَا بَشَّارُ بْنُ الْحَكَمِ، حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ الْبُنَانِيُّ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ؓ، قَالَ:
لَقِيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَبَا ذَرٍّ، وَقَالَ: « يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ، أَلَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى خَصْلَتَيْنِ هُمَا أَخَفُّ عَلَى الظَّهْرِ، وَأَثْقَلُ فِي الْمِيزَانِ » قَالَ: بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، قَالَ ﷺ: « عَلَيْكَ بِحُسْنِ الْخُلُقِ، وَطُولِ الصَّمْتِ، فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ، مَا عَمِلَ الْخَلَائِقُ مِثْلَهُمَا

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ met Abu Dharr and said: «O Abu Dharr, shall I not guide you to two qualities that are lighter on the back and heavier on the scale?» He said: «Yes, O Messenger of Allah.» He ﷺ said: «You must have good character and prolonged silence. By the One in whose hand is my soul, no creatures have done the like of them.»
