It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: When I took possession of the weapons of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), I found a piece of paper in the sword of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).

Shall I not inform you of two qualities, the performance of which is easy, but they will be heavier on the scale than all other good deeds?" He said: "Yes, O Messenger of Allah!" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Adhere to good character and prolonged silence. By Him in Whose hand is my soul! The creation has not done any deed equal to (these two virtues)."
