Four qualities to possess: fulfilling trusts, truthfulness, good conduct, and eating little

ahmad:6652 – Ḥasan > Ibn Lahīʿah > al-Ḥārith b. Yazīd al-Ḥaḍramī > ʿAbdullāh b. ʿAmr

that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Four ˹qualities˺ if you have them, then there shall be no blame upon you for what you missed ˹earning˺ in the world: (1) fulfilling the trust, (2) truthful speech, (3) good character, and (4) restraint with food."  

أحمد:٦٦٥٢ – حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنٌ؛ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ؛ عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ؛ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ أَرْبَعٌ إِذَا كُنَّ فِيكَ فَلَا عَلَيْكَ مَا فَاتَكَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا: (١) حِفْظُ أَمَانَةٍ، (٢) وَصِدْقُ حَدِيثٍ، (٣) وَحُسْنُ خَلِيقَةٍ، (٤) وَعِفَّةٌ فِي طُعْمَةٍ۔»

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said: "There are four things that, if you possess them, what you have missed in this worldly life will not harm you: safeguarding trusts, speaking the truth, having good character, and refraining from indulging in unlawful pleasures."

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ أَرْبَعٌ إِذَا كَانَ فِيكَ لَا يَضُرُّكُ مَا فَاتِكَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا حَفْظُ أَمَانَةٍ وَصِدْقُ حَدِيثٍ وَحُسْنُ خَلِيقَةٍ وَعِفَّةُ طُعْمَةٍ سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص
