The Dictations · Hadith 414 (#Ḥadīth #7)

7 - ثم قال: (صلى الله عليه وآله): إن جبرئيل الروح الامين نزل علي من عند رب العالمين، فقال: يا محمد، عليك بحسن الخلق، فإن سوء الخلق يذهب بخير الدنيا والآخرة، ألا وإن أشبهكم بي أحسنكم خلقا (5).

Then, he (s) said: Surely, Gabriel, the Trustworthy Spirit, came down to me from the Lord of the Worlds and said: “O Muhammad! Betake to good character, for surely, poor character diminishes the good of this world and the Hereafter.” Verily, those of you who resemble me the most are those with the most beautiful character.”
