(34) And not equal are the good deed and the bad. Repel [evil] by that [deed] which is better; and thereupon the one whom between you and him is enmity [will become] as though he was a devoted friend. (35) But none is granted it except those who are patient, and none is granted it except one having a great portion [of good].
The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said to me: You have two qualities that Allah loves. I said: What are they? He said: Forbearance and modesty. I said: Have I always had them or I accquired them recently? He said: Rather, you have always had them. I said: Praise is due to Allah who created me with two qualities that he loves.
