Narrated from Sayyiduna Ashajj ‘Abdul Qais (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said to me: “You have two qualities which Allah loves.” I asked: “O Messenger of Allah! What are those two qualities?” The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Forbearance and modesty.” I asked: “Are these qualities innate in me or have they developed now?” He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “They have been in you from before.” I said: “All praise is due to Allah, Who has created in me two qualities which He loves.”
