 Whenever scholars said, keep the company only of someone with four traits, generosity when he has little forgiveness when he is treated unfairly, patience when he is tried, and contentment with Allah's decree. People of course like this are very few, but these are the most basic elements of good character. So we should seek out people that have at least one or two of these traits, if not all four. Patience here indicates love and detachment from the goods of this world. Forgiveness indicates humbleness, and again also a detachment from the goods of this world. Patience indicates that a person recognizes the reality of this world being a test and a trial, and that the end of this world is somewhere else, not something in this world. And contentment, contentment is the character trait of the muttaqeen. And this is the defining trait of the believer.
