Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا دَاوُدُ عَنْ مَكْحُولٍ عَنْ أَبِي ثَعْلَبَةَ الْخُشَنِيِّ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ أَحَبُّكُمْ إِلَيَّ وَأَقْرَبُكُمْ مِنِّي مَحَاسِنُكُمْ أَخْلَاقًا وَإِنَّ أَبْغَضَكُمْ إِلَيَّ وَأَبْعَدَكُمْ مِنِّي مَسَاوِيكُمْ أَخْلَاقًا الثَّرْثَارُونَ الْمُتَشَدِّقُونَ الْمُتَفَيْهِقُونَ.
English Translation
Yazid told us, he said Dawud informed us, from Makhul, from Abu Tha'labah al-Khushani, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: The most beloved of you to me and the nearest of you to me are those best in character, and the most hateful of you to me and the furthest of you from me are those worst in character - the excessive talkers, the affected speakers, and those who talk boastfully filling their mouths with words.
