The Sunnah
The Prophet ﷺ said: "I guarantee a house in the outskirts of Paradise for one who leaves arguing even if he is right, a house in the middle of Paradise for one who abandons lying even when joking, and a house in the highest part of Paradise for one who makes his character good."
Source: Sunan Abi Dawud 4800
