991 إن المؤمن ليدرك بحسن خلقه درجة الصائم القائم
Verily a believer attains by his good manners the rank of one who fasts and prays abundantly

عن عائشة رضي الله عنها مرفوعاً: «إن المؤمن ليدرك بحسن خلقه درجة الصائم القائم»

‘Ā’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Verily a believer attains by his good manners the rank of one who fasts and prays abundantly."

صحيح - ( رواه أبو داود وأحمد ). Sahih/Authentic. [Abu Dawood]

فضيلة حسن الخلق وأنه يبلغ بصاحبه في المنزلة عند الله وفي الجنة منزلة المداوم على الصيام وقيام الليل، وهما عملان عظيمان وفيهما مشقة على النفوس، وحسن الخلق أمر يسير.
This Hadīth indicates the immense virtue of good manners and by then one reaches a high rank in the sight of Allah and in Paradise. The rank of a person of good manners equals that of the person who often fasts the days and prays at length during the night. These are great acts of worship which involve sacrifices and hardships, whereas treating people with good manners is by comparison easier.

حسن الخلق يضاعف الثواب والأجر، حتى يبلغ العبد به درجة الصائم الذي لا يفطر والقائم الذي لا يتعب.
Good manners are a reason for multiplying rewards, so much so that a well-mannered person can reach the rank of someone who observes fast without missing a day and someone who performs voluntary night prayer without feeling tired
