[Machine] To the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , I said, "Indeed, there are two qualities in you that Allah loves." I asked, "What are they?" He replied, "Patience and modesty." I asked, "Are they inherent in me or acquired?" He said, "They are inherent." I said, "Praise be to Allah who has made me possess these two qualities that He loves."

لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ فِيكَ خَلَّتَيْنِ يُحِبُّهُمَا اللهُ قُلْتُ مَا هُمَا؟ قَالَ الْحِلْمُ وَالْحَيَاءُ قُلْتُ أَقَدِيمًا كَانَ فِيَّ أَمْ حَدِيثًا؟ قَالَ بَلْ قَدِيمًا قُلْتُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي جَبَلَنِي عَلَى خَلَّتَيْنِ يُحِبُّهُمَا
