The answer

In pre-Islamic Arabia, Arabs were characterized by noble virtues that Islam later affirmed, including: faithfulness to covenants, as stated in the Almighty's words: "and those who fulfill their promise when they promise." And clemency and deliberation, as stated in the Almighty's words: "and those who restrain anger and pardon people," and the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) words to Ashajj Abdul Qais: "Indeed, you possess two qualities that Allah loves: forbearance and deliberation." And generosity and hospitality.
