Indeed, among the most beloved to me and the closest of you to me in position on the Day of Judgment are those of you who have the best morals
Jābir (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said:
"Indeed, among the most beloved to me and the closest of you to me in position on the Day of Judgment are those of you who have the best morals, and, indeed, the most hated of you to me and the farthest from me in position on the Day of Judgment are the talkative, the pompous, and the Mutafayhiqūn." They said: O Messenger of Allah, we know the talkative and the pompous, but who are the Mutafayhiqūn? He said: "The arrogant."
«إِنَّ مِنْ أَحَبِّكُمْ إِلَيَّ وَأَقْرَبِكُمْ مِنِّي مَجْلِسًا يَوْمَ القِيَامَةِ أَحَاسِنَكُمْ أَخْلاَقًا، وَإِنَّ أَبْغَضَكُمْ إِلَيَّ وَأَبْعَدَكُمْ مِنِّي مَجْلِسًا يَوْمَ القِيَامَةِ الثَّرْثَارُونَ وَالمُتَشَدِّقُونَ وَالمُتَفَيْهِقُونَ»، قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، قَدْ عَلِمْنَا الثَّرْثَارُونَ وَالمُتَشَدِّقُونَ فَمَا الْمُتَفَيْهِقُونَ؟ قَالَ: «الْمُتَكَبِّرُونَ».
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informed that those who are most beloved to him from among you in this world and the closest to him in position on the Day of Judgment are those of you who have the best morals. He also stated that those who are most detested from among you to him in this world and farthest from him in position on the Day of Judgment are those with bad morals; (the talkative) who speak excessively and unnecessarily, deviating from the truth; (the pompous) who exaggerate their speech to impress others or to make their words seem more important without careful consideration. And (the Mutafayhiqūn); they said: O Messenger of Allah, we understand who the talkative and the pompous are, but what about the Mutafayhiqūn? He replied: They are arrogant people who mock others, expanding their speech and opening their mouths therewith.
Good morals are among the causes of winning the love of the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and being close to him on the Day of Judgment, while bad morals have the opposite effect.
Good morals are among the means of love between people, while bad morals have the opposite effect.
Encouraging the adoption of good morals and humility, and the avoidance of harshness and pretension.
Warning against speaking in a manner of exaggeration, arrogance, boasting, and pretension.
