Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 26957 — Reports on good character

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I was in a gathering in which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was present, and my father Samurah was sitting in front of me. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, bad character and foul speech have no share whatsoever in Islam, and the person among people who is best in Islam is the one who is best among them in character."
