حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى قَالَ: نَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ قَالَ: نَا الْأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ ؓ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
" يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ، ارْفَعْ بَصَرَكَ فَانْظُرْ أَرْفَعَ رَجُلٍ تَرَاهُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ ؟ " فَنَظَرْتُ فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ عَلَيْهِ حُلَّةٌ فَقُلْتُ: هَذَا، فَقَالَ: " يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ انْظُرْ أَوْضَعَ رَجُلٍ تَرَاهُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ ؟ " فَنَظَرْتُ فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ مُكْتَنِفٌ رَجُلًا، فَقُلْتُ: هَذَا، فَقَالَ: " وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لِهَذَا أَفْضَلُ عِنْدَ اللهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مِنْ قُرَابِ الْأَرْضِ وَمِثْلِ هَذَا

✧ 'O Abu Dharr, raise your eyes and look at the tallest man you see in the mosque.' I looked and saw a man wearing a fine garment. I said: 'This one.' He said: 'O Abu Dharr, look at the lowliest man you see in the mosque.' I looked and saw a man wrapped in patched clothes. I said: 'This one.' He said: 'By the One in whose hand is my soul, this one is better in God's sight on the Day of Resurrection than the fill of the earth of that one.'
