Sayyiduna Usamah bin Sharik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: We were sitting with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), as if birds were perched on our heads; none of us was speaking. Meanwhile some people came to him and said: "Who among the servants of Allah is most beloved to Allah Almighty?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The one whose character is best."
Al-Tabarani recorded it, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.
