"عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ: انْظُرُوا إِلى حِلْمِ المَرْءِ عِنْدَ غَضَبِهِ وَإلى أمَانَتِهِ عِنْدَ طَمَعِهِ وَمَا عِلْمُكَ بِحِلْمِهِ إِذَا لَمْ يَغْضَب، وَمَا عِلْمُكَ بَأَمَانَتِهِ إِذَا لم يَطْمَعْ وَلا يُعْجَبنَّكُمْ صَاحِبُكُمْ حَتَّى تَنْظُرُوا عَلَى أَىِّ شِقَّيْه يَقَعُ".

"From Ibn Mas'ud who said: Look at a man's forbearance when he is angry, and at his trustworthiness when he is tempted. What do you know of his forbearance if he is not angered, and what do you know of his trustworthiness if he is not tempted? Do not be impressed by your companion until you see on which side he falls."
