The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said to Al-Ashajj, who belonged to the tribe of Banu ‘Abd Qays, that he possessed two traits that are beloved to Allah and His Messenger: Prudence and deliberation. Al-Ashajj showed deliberation when he did not rush to accompany his tribe; rather, he tended to his interests first. As to his prudence, it was reflected in the way he addressed the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him). His words indicated his strong intellect and his good foresight of consequences.
