It is narrated from Yazid bin Babanus that he said: We asked the Mother of the Believers, Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her): O Mother of the Believers, what was the character of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) like? She said: The character of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was the Qur'an itself. Then she asked: Do you recite Surah al-Mu'minun? Then recite (the first ten verses): "Successful indeed are the believers." When he reached the tenth verse, she said: "This was the character of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)." The chain of narration of this hadith is sahih (authentic), but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.
