Silsilah as-Sahihah 2388 — Good character and its virtue

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Usamah bin Sharik (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: We were sitting with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in such a manner as if birds were sitting on our heads; none of us was speaking. Suddenly, some people came and asked: Who among His servants is most beloved to Allah Almighty? The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Those who have the best character."
