Musnad Ahmad 17828 — Hadith of the Delegation of 'Abd al-Qays
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ ، قَالَ : زَعَمَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ أَشَجُّ بَنِي عَصَرٍ ، قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِنَّ فِيكَ خَلَّتَينِ يُحِبُّهُمَا اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ " . قُلْتُ : مَا هُمَا ؟ قَالَ : " الْحِلْمُ وَالْحَيَاءُ " . قُلْتُ : أَقَدِيمًا كَانَ فِيَّ أَمْ حَدِيثًا ؟ قَالَ : " بَلْ قَدِيمًا " قُلْتُ : الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي جَبَلَنِي عَلَى خَلَّتَينِ يُحِبُّهُمَا.
It is narrated from Hazrat Ashaj bin Asr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "There are two qualities in you which Allah Almighty loves very much." I asked, "Which qualities are those?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Forbearance and modesty." I asked, "Were these habits present in me from the beginning or did they develop later?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "They have been in you from the beginning." I, expressing gratitude to Allah, said, "All praise is due to Allah who created me with two qualities beloved to Him."
