حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ بُرْقَانَ عَنْ يَزِيدَ قَالَ

قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ مَا تَعُدُّونَ الْكَرَمَ؟ وَقَدْ بَيَّنَ اللَّهُ الْكَرَمَ فَأَكْرَمُكُمْ عِنْدَ اللهِ أَتْقَاكُمْ مَا تَعُدُّونَ الْحَسَبَ؟ أَفْضَلُكُمْ حَسَبًا أَحْسَنُكُمْ خُلُقًا

Translation

✧ Ibn ʿAbbas said: "What do you count as nobility? Allah has clarified nobility: 'The most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you.' What do you count as lineage? The best of you in lineage is the best of you in character."
