عن أبي الدرداء قال: سمعت النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول: ما من شيء يوضع في الميزان أثقل من حسن الخلق وإن صاحب حسن الخلق ليبلغ به درجة صاحب الصوم والصلاة (سنن الترمذي، الرقم: 2003)

Hazrat Abu Dardaa (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reports, “I heard Nabi (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) saying, ‘There is nothing (i.e. no good deed) that will be placed in the scale (of good deeds) which will be weightier than good character, and indeed the person who possesses good character will certainly reach, on account of his good character, the lofty rank of the one who keeps (abundant nafl) fasts and performs (abundant nafl) salaah.”
