إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ خَصَّ رُسُلَهُ بِمَكَارِمِ الْأَخْلَاقِ فَامْتَحِنُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ فَإِنْ كَانَتْ فِيكُمْ فَاحْمَدُوا اللَّهَ وَ اعْلَمُوا أَنَّ ذَلِكَ مِنْ خَيْرٍ وَ إِنْ لَا تَكُنْ فِيكُمْ فَاسْأَلُوا اللَّهَ وَ ارْغَبُوا إِلَيْهِ فِيهَا قَالَ فَذَكَرَهَا عَشَرَةً الْيَقِينَ وَ الْقَنَاعَةَ وَ الصَّبْرَ وَ الشُّكْرَ وَ الْحِلْمَ وَ حُسْنَ الْخُلُقِ وَ السَّخَاءَ وَ الْغَيْرَةَ وَ الشَّجَاعَةَ وَ الْمُرُوءَةَ قَالَ وَ رَوَى بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْدَ هَذِهِ الْخِصَالِ الْعَشَرَةِ وَ زَادَ فِيهَا الصِّدْقَ وَ أَدَاءَ الْأَمَانَةِ .
Translation
A number of our companions from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Usman Bin Isa, from Abdullah Bin Muskan, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic Specialised His<sup>azwj</sup> Rasools<sup>as</sup> with the noble mannerisms, so therefore examine yourselves. So if these were in you, then Praise Allah<sup>azwj</sup> and know that, that is from the goodness, and if these are not in you, then ask Allah<sup>azwj</sup> and hope to Him<sup>azwj</sup> regarding these’. He (the narrator) said, ‘So he<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> mentioned these ten as being – the conviiction, and the contentment, and the patience, and the gratefulness, and the forbearance, and the good mannerisms, and the generousity, and the sense of pride, and the bravery, and the magnanimity’. He (the narrator) said, ‘And some of them reported after these them characteristics and increase in it, the truthfulness and the paying of the entrusments’.
