حدثنا محمد بن عيسى بن الطباع، حدثنا مطر بن عبد الرحمن الأعنق، حدثتني أم أبان بنت الوازع بن زارع، عن جدها، زارع وكان في وفد عبد القيس قال لما قدمنا المدينة فجعلنا نتبادر من رواحلنا فنقبل يد النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ورجله - قال - وانتظر المنذر الأشج حتى أتى عيبته فلبس ثوبيه ثم أتى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال له ‏"‏ إن فيك خلتين يحبهما الله الحلم والأناة ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قال يا رسول الله أنا أتخلق بهما أم الله جبلني عليهما قال ‏"‏ بل الله جبلك عليهما ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قال الحمد لله الذي جبلني على خلتين يحبهما الله ورسوله ‏.‏
 Narrated al-Wazi' ibn Zari':                     Umm Aban, daughter of al-Wazi' ibn Zari', quoting his grandfather, who was a member of the deputation of AbdulQays, said: When we came to Medina, we raced to be first to dismount and kiss the hand and foot of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). But al-Mundhir al-Ashajj waited until he came to the bundle of his clothes. He put on his two garments and then he went to the Prophet (ﷺ).  He said to him: You have two characteristics which Allah likes: gentleness and deliberation.  He asked: Have I acquired them or has Allah has created (them) my nature?  He replied: No, Allah has created (them) in your nature.  He then said: Praise be to Allah Who has created in my nature two characteristics which Allah and His Apostle like.
