Masruq reported: We went to'Abdullah bin 'Amr when Mu'dwiya came to Kufa, and he made a mention of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said: He was never immoderate in his talk and he never reviled others. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) also said: The best amongst you are those who are best in morals. 'Uthman said: When he came to Kufa along with Mu'awiyah... (The rest of the hadith is the same).
