Abd al-Rahman bin Abi Bakrah narrates: Sayyiduna al-Ashajj bin Asar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "There are two traits in you that Allah Almighty loves." I said: O Messenger of Allah, what are they? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Forbearance and deliberation (not being hasty)." I said: Have they been in me from the beginning, or have they developed in me later? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Rather, they are long-standing." I said: All praise belongs to Allah Almighty, who has given me two traits that Allah and His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) love.
Imam Ahmad recorded it, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih; however, the son of Sayyiduna Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) did not meet Sayyiduna al-Ashajj (may Allah be pleased with him).
