وَقَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ مُزَيْنَةَ قِيلَ:
يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، مَا أَفْضَلُ مَا أُوتِيَ الرَّجُلُ الْمُسْلِمُ ؟ قَالَ: « الْخُلُقُ الْحَسَنُ »، قَالَ: فَمَا شَرُّ مَا أُوتِيَ الْمُسْلِمُ ؟ قَالَ: « إِذَا كَرِهْتَ أَنْ يُرَى عَلَيْكَ شَيْءٌ فِي نَادِي الْقَوْمِ، فَلَا تَفْعَلْهُ إِذَا خَلَوْتَ
