حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ أَبَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ مِغْوَلٍ، عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ صَالِحٍ أَبِي الْخَلِيلِ، عَنْ مُطَرِّفِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الشِّخِّيرِ، قَالَ:

أَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ: أَيُّ الْإِيمَانِ أَفْضَلُ ؟ قَالَ: « الْخُلُقُ الْحَسَنُ »، فَأَعَادَ عَلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ: « الْخُلُقُ الْحَسَنُ » فَأَعَادَ عَلَيْهِ الثَّالِثَةَ أَوِ الرَّابِعَةَ، فَإِمَّا أَقَامَهُ وَإِمَّا أَقْعَدَهُ، قَالَ ﷺ: « أَنْ تَلْقَى أَخَاكَ وَأَنْتَ طَلِيقٌ »، قَالَ: ثُمَّ مَا زَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُحَسِّنُ الْخُلُقَ الْحَسَنَ، وَيَقُولُ: « هُوَ مِنَ اللهِ »، وَيُقَبِّحُ الْخُلُقَ السُّوءَ « وَيَقُولُ: هُوَ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: « أَلَا تَنْظُرُونَ إِلَى حُمْرَةِ عَيْنَيْهِ وَانْتِفَاخِ أَوْدَاجِهِ

✧ A man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: Which part of faith is most excellent? He said: "Good character." He repeated it to him, and he said: "Good character." He repeated it to him a third or fourth time, then either he made him stand or sit. He ﷺ said: "That you meet your brother with a cheerful face." He said: Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ kept commending good character, saying: "It is from Allah," and condemning bad character, saying: "It is from Satan." Then he said: "Do you not look at the redness of his eyes and the swelling of his jugular veins?"
