Mishkat al-MasabihHadith Number 5223
وَعَنْ مَالِكٍ رضي الله عنها قَالَ: بَلَغَنِي أَنَّهُ قِيلَ لِلُقْمَانَ الْحَكِيمِ: مَا بَلَغَ بِكَ مَا ترى؟ يَعْنِي الْفَضْلَ قَالَ: صِدْقُ الْحَدِيثِ وَأَدَاءُ الْأَمَانَةِ وَتَرْكُ مَا لَا يَعْنِينِي. رَوَاهُ فِي «الْمُوَطَّأِ»
Malik Narrated from:
I have learnt that Luqman رضي الله عنه, the wise, was asked, "What has brought you to that which we see?" This referred to his high rank. He said, "Truthful speech, fulfilling the trust and leaving that which does not concern me." [2]
