حَدَّثَنَا قَيْسُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا طَالِبُ بْنُ حُجَيْرٍ الْعَبْدِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي هُودُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، سَمِعَ جَدَّهُ مَزِيدَةَ الْعَبْدِيَّ قَالَ: جَاءَ الأَشَجُّ يَمْشِي حَتَّى أَخَذَ بِيَدِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَبَّلَهَا، فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم: أَمَا إِنَّ فِيكَ لَخُلُقَيْنِ يُحِبُّهُمَا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ، قَالَ: جَبْلاً جُبِلْتُ عَلَيْهِ، أَوْ خُلِقَا مَعِي؟ قَالَ: لاَ، بَلْ جَبْلاً جُبِلْتَ عَلَيْهِ، قَالَ: الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي جَبَلَنِي عَلَى مَا يُحِبُّ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ.

The Prophet, mayAllah bless him and grant him peace, told him, 'You have two qualitieswhich Allah and His Messenger love.' He asked, 'Was I born with them orare they characteristics which I have acquired?' He said, 'No, they arepart of the natural character on which you were formed.' Ashajj said, 'Praisebelongs to Allah who has created me with what Allah an His Messenger love!'"
