حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ يَحْيَى الْكِلَابِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعَيْبُ بْنُ الْحَبْحَابِ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ؓ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
« أَكْمَلُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِيمَانًا أَحَاسِنُهُمْ خُلُقًا، وَإِنَّ حُسْنَ الْخُلُقِ لَيَبْلُغُ دَرَجَةَ الصَّوْمِ وَالصَّلَاةِ
