Continuation of the explanation of the hadith of 'Abdullah ibn 'Amr (may Allah be pleased with both of them): (… good character, modesty in sustenance, truthfulness in speech, and safeguarding of trusts).

The Shaykh : What are these four qualities? He said (may Allah be pleased with him): "Good character" means character. If you are given good character among these four qualities, then it will not harm you, O one who is characterized by good character, what you miss from the adornment of this world. "Good character and modesty in sustenance" means that your eating should be in a state of modesty, being far from eating what Allah (Mighty and Majestic) has forbidden, whether you eat what is explicitly forbidden or you eat the lawful that was acquired through a forbidden means. As long as you are given good character and modesty in sustenance, meaning modest eating, which is lawful, and you do not have an aggressive approach to eating the wealth of people, to the extent that sustenance is broader than just avoiding the forbidden; rather, you also do not let your soul desire to eat the wealth of people, even with their consent, but their souls may not be pleased with this wealth unless you employ certain methods that compel your friends and brothers to offer you what you see as food and drink. You do not do any of this at all, as indicated by a hadith narrated by al-Bukhari and Muslim in their "Sahihayn" from the hadith of 'Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him). It is reported that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) received war spoils, he would give 'Umar a portion as a gift. 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) would make excuses by saying: "O Messenger of Allah, give this which you are giving me to someone who is more in need of it than I am." This indicates the modesty of the soul of 'Umar ibn al-Khattab, that he had no greed or avarice, and no reckless pursuit of this wealth, even if it was lawful. He would say: "Give it to someone who is more in need of it than I am, O Messenger of Allah." So the Messenger (peace be upon him) would say to him, teaching him justice and ease, meaning avoiding excess and deficiency, and he said to him: . The point of this hadith is first, the position of 'Umar, which indicates the modesty of his soul, and second, the command of the Messenger (peace be upon him) to take it as long as his soul is not desiring this wealth, and he says: meaning not inclined, not greedy, meaning: give me, I wish so-and-so would serve me, but he is not pleased in his heart with his Lord (Glorified and Exalted is He), so he does not covet the wealth of people. The Messenger (peace be upon him) says to 'Umar: and in some narrations: This is from the modesty of sustenance. The third quality is truthfulness in speech, meaning: if one is given this, along with modesty in sustenance and good character, truthfulness in speech, then he is always and forever speaking the truth and never knows the path of lying. This is also one of these four qualities which, if the Muslim man or woman is given them, it will not harm him what he misses from the adornment and ornament of this world. The fourth and last quality is safeguarding of trusts, and this in reality meets with the second quality, which is modesty in sustenance, because the person who is modest and whose soul does not incline to the wealth of people, even if it is offered to him through a lawful means, is even more likely to preserve what is placed with him as a trust. He realizes the saying of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) regarding it, which is His saying: . So 'Abdullah ibn 'Amr ibn al-'As (may Allah be pleased with both of them) says: . We will suffice with this amount of hadiths for now, so that we can then proceed to answer some of the questions that I have available.
