Feeding people is part of noble character and noble character leads to Jannah

Question:

Is this Hadith authentic?

مكارم الأخلاق من عمل الجنة

Answer:

Imam Tabarani (rahimahullah) has recorded this narration.

Once some people came to visit Sayyiduna Anas (radiyallahu ‘anhu) when he was ill. He told his slave girl, “Bring something for our [guests] even if be some pieces of bread, for I heard Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) say, ‘Noble character is from the actions of Jannah.’” [i.e. Noble character will lead a person close to Jannah]

(Al Mu’jamul Awsat, Hadith: 6497)

‘Allamah Mundhiri and ‘Allamah Haythami (rahimahumallah) have declared the chain authentic (jayyid).

(Targhib, vol. 3 pg. 373, Majma’uz Zawaid, vol. 8 pg. 177)

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
