Good Character

They spend (out of what Allah has provided for them,) both in ease and hardship, ever-restraining their rage (even when provoked and able to retaliate), and pardoning people (their offenses). (Al Imran 3:134)

 

324. Abu’d-Darda, may Allah be pleased with him, reported that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “There will be nothing heavier in the balance of the believer on the Day of Rising than good character. Allah dislikes foul language.” (Sunan at-Tirmidhi, Birr, 61).

326. Abu Umama al-Bahili, may Allah be pleased with him, reported that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “I guarantee a house on the outskirts of Paradise to anyone who abstains from disputation, even if he is in the right, and a house in the middle of Paradise for anyone who abandons lying, even when he jests, and a house at the summit of Paradise for anyone who has good character.” (Sunan Abu Dawud, Adab, 7).
