It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ashajj Abd al-Qays (may Allah be pleased with him): the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "Indeed, there are two traits in you that Allah Almighty loves." I said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), what are they?" He said: "Forbearance and modesty, or (he said) forbearance and deliberateness." I asked: "Have these two traits been in me from of old, that is, by nature, or have they only recently developed?" He said: "Rather, they are from of old." So I said: 'Alhamdu lillahil-ladhi jabalani 'ala khuluqayni yuhibbuhuma' (All praise is for Allah, who created me with a nature of two traits that He loves).
