Sayyida Umm al-Darda’ (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates from Sayyiduna Abu al-Darda’ (may Allah be pleased with him), who narrates from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: “Whoever is given his share of gentleness has indeed been given his share of goodness, and whoever is deprived of his share of gentleness has indeed been deprived of his share of goodness.” And he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “The heaviest thing in the scale of a believer is good character. Indeed, Allah Almighty hates the ill-mannered and foul-mouthed person.”
