A great moral character — Allah’s praise in Al-Qalam 68:4, and “his character was the Qur’an”.

Laughter and smiling — “his laughter was nothing but a smile” (ash-Shama’il 227), Jarir always greeted with a smile, and laughter at the vastness of Allah’s mercy.
Truthful joking — “I say nothing but the truth” (ash-Shama’il 236), Abu ‘Umayr and his little bird, the camel’s offspring and Zahir.
Poetry and night conversation — the verse of Labid, “I am the Prophet, no lie!” at Hunayn, Hassan ibn Thabit’s pulpit and the hadith of Umm Zar‘.
Sleep and worship — bedtime supplications, the three Quls, “Should I not be a grateful servant?” (ash-Shama’il 260), eleven rak‘ahs and the regular Sunnah prayers.
