أحمد:٢٧٤٩٦ – حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو وَابْنُ أَبِي بُكَيْرٍ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ نَافِعٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ خَالِهِ عَطَاءِ بْنِ نَافِعٍ أَنَّهُمْ دَخَلُوا عَلَى أُمِّ الدَّرْدَاءِ فَأَخْبَرَتْهُمْ أَنَّهَا سَمِعَتْ أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ يَقُولُ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ أَفْضَلَ شَيْءٍ فِي الْمِيزَانِ قَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي بُكَيْرٍ أَثْقَلَ شَيْءٍ فِي الْمِيزَانِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ الْخُلُقُ الْحَسَنُ

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "Indeed, the best thing that will be placed on the Scale on the Day of Judgment is good character."  

الطبراني:٢١١١٩ – حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الْخَلَّالُ الْمَكِّيُّ ثنا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ ثنا مَرْوَانُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ عَطَاءٍ الْكَيْخَارَانِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ بَابَاهِ عَنْ أُمِّ الدَّرْدَاءِ قَالَتْ

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «إِنَّ أَفْضَلَ مَا يُوضَعُ فِي الْمِيزَانِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ الْخُلُقُ الْحَسَنُ»
