It is narrated from Sayyiduna Zari' (may Allah be pleased with him), who was in the delegation of Abd al-Qays, that he said: When we arrived in Madinah, we began hurrying down from our mounts and kissing the blessed hands and blessed feet of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), while Sayyiduna al-Mundhir al-Ashajj (may Allah be pleased with him) waited until he came to his baggage, put on his clothes, and then came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "There are two qualities in you which Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, loves: forbearance and deliberateness (patience)." At this Sayyiduna al-Mundhir (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "All praise is for Allah, Who created me with a nature upon two qualities which Allah and His Messenger love."
No one narrated this hadith from Umm Aban (may Allah have mercy on her) except Matar bin Abd al-Rahman (may Allah have mercy on him).
