وَقَالَ مُسَدَّدٌ وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ جَمِيعًا: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ جُهَيْنَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
« خَيْرُ مَا أُعْطِيَ الرَّجُلُ الْمُؤْمِنُ خُلُقٌ حَسَنٌ، وَشَرُّ مَا أُعْطِيَ الرَّجُلُ قَلْبُ سُوءٍ فِي صُورَةٍ حَسَنَةٍ
