حَدَّثَنَا مُصْعَبُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ، قَالَ:

كُنْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ جَالِسًا، فَقَالَ: أَنْبِئُونِي بِأَفْضَلِ أَهْلِ الْإِيمَانِ إِيمَانًا، قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ، قَالَ: هُمْ كَذَلِكَ وَيَحِقُّ لَهُمْ ذَلِكَ، وَمَا يَمْنَعُهُمْ وَقَدْ أَنْزَلَهُمُ اللهُ الْمَنْزِلَةَ الَّتِي أَنْزَلَهُمْ بِهَا ؟ بَلْ غَيْرُهُمْ، قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ الْأَنْبِيَاءُ الَّذِينَ أَكْرَمَهُمُ اللهُ بِرِسَالَتِهِ وَالنُّبُوَّةِ، قَالَ: هُمْ كَذَلِكَ وَيَحِقُّ لَهُمْ، وَمَا يَمْنَعُهُمْ وَقَدْ أَنْزَلَهُمُ اللهُ الْمَنْزِلَةَ الَّتِي أَنْزَلَهُمْ بِهَا ؟ بَلْ غَيْرُهُمْ، قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ الشُّهَدَاءُ الَّذِينَ اسْتُشْهِدُوا مَعَ الْأَعْدَاءِ، قَالَ: هُمْ كَذَلِكَ وَيَحِقُّ لَهُمْ، وَمَا يَمْنَعُهُمْ وَقَدْ أَكْرَمَهُمُ اللهُ بِالشَّهَادَةِ مَعَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ ؟ بَلْ غَيْرُهُمْ، قَالُوا: فَمَنْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ؟ قَالَ: أَقْوَامٌ فِي أَصْلَابِ الرِّجَالِ يَأْتُونَ مِنْ بَعْدِي، يُؤْمِنُونَ بِي وَلَمْ يَرَوْنِي، وَيُصَدِّقُونَ بِي وَلَمْ يَرَوْنِي، يَجِدُونَ الْوَرَقَ الْمُعَلَّقَ فَيَعْمَلُونَ بِمَا فِيهِ، فَهَؤُلَاءِ أَفْضَلُ أَهْلِ الْإِيمَانِ إِيمَانًا

✧ I was sitting with the Messenger of God ﷺ, and he said: 'Tell me who among the people of faith is most excellent in faith.' They said: 'O Messenger of God, the angels.' He said: 'They are so, and that is rightfully theirs. What prevents them, when God has placed them in the station He placed them in? Rather, others.' They said: 'O Messenger of God, the prophets whom God honored with His message and prophethood.' He said: 'They are so, and that is rightfully theirs. What prevents them, when God has placed them in the station He placed them in? Rather, others.' They said: 'O Messenger of God, the martyrs who were martyred with the enemies.' He said: 'They are so, and that is rightfully theirs. What prevents them, when God has honored them with martyrdom along with the prophets? Rather, others.' They said: 'Then who, O Messenger of God?' He said: 'Peoples in the loins of men who will come after me, who believe in me though they have not seen me, and attest to me though they have not seen me. They find the suspended leaf and act according to what is in it. These are the most excellent of the people of faith in faith.'
