The Best People

Masya Allah! Sempurnanya ciptaan Ilahi

Allahumma solli 'ala Muhammad wa 'ala aali Muhammad

1. Jabir Ibn ‘Abd Allah narrated, the Messenger of Allah (SAAW) said:

“People are of different substances, the best of them in the Jahiliyah (A state of ignorance), are the best in Islam, if they gain ‘ilm (knowledge).”

(Ahmad Ibn Hanbal)



2. Ibn Hibban reported on the authority of Abu Hurairah:

“People are of different substances in good and in evil, the best of them in the Jahiliyah are the best in Islam, if they gain knowledge.”



3. Muslim reported it on the authority of Abu Hurairah, as follows:

“People are of substances like the substance of gold and silver: the best among them in the Jahiliyah , are the the best in Islam, if they gain knowledge, and the souls are hosts which are sent around, the similar ones get acquainted, and from the different ones depart from each other.”

(Muslim; An-Nawawi, Riyah As-Salihin)
