الطبراني:١٧٤٩٣حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْعَسَّالِ الْأَصْبَهَانِيُّ ثنا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الْبَجَلِيُّ ثنا أَبُو مَرْيَمَ عَبْدُ الْغَفَّارِ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ عَنْ مَيْمُونِ بْنِ أَبِي شَبِيبٍ عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ قَالَ

بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى الْيَمَنِ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَوْصِنِي فَقَالَ «عَلَيْكَ بِحُسْنِ الْخُلُقِ فَإِنَّ أَحْسَنَ النَّاسِ خُلُقًا أَحْسَنُهُمْ دِينًا»
