The answer

There is no religious text explicitly stating the mentioned wording. However, Islam affirmed the good morals and dealings that existed during the جاهلية (pre-Islamic era), such as trustworthiness, fulfilling covenants, safeguarding trusts, patience, generosity, courage, supporting the oppressed, aiding the distressed, and assisting the weak. Islam came to change what was corrupt and to preserve what was righteous and beneficial. It strives to bring about and perfect the welfare of people and to ward off corruption from them, as affirmed by the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, who said: "I was sent only to perfect good character."
