Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي شَقِيقٌ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، قَالَ كُنَّا جُلُوسًا مَعَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو يُحَدِّثُنَا إِذْ قَالَ لَمْ يَكُنْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَاحِشًا وَلاَ مُتَفَحِّشًا، وَإِنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ " إِنَّ خِيَارَكُمْ أَحَاسِنُكُمْ أَخْلاَقًا ".
Translation
Masruq said: “We were sitting with Abdullah ibn Amr while he was telling us reports, and he said that the Messenger of Allah was neither obscene nor one who spoke obscenely. He used to say that the best of you are those with the finest character.”
