أَخْبَرَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي مَعْشَرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى الْقَطَّانُ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ
قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَنْ أَكْرَمُ النَّاسِ؟ قَالَ «أَتْقَاهُمْ» قَالُوا لَسْنَا عَنْ هَذَا نَسْأَلُكَ قَالَ «فَعَنْ مَعَادِنِ الْعَرَبِ تَسْأَلُونَنِي؟ خِيَارُكُمْ خِيَارُكُمْ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ إِذَا فَقِهُوا»

✧ It was said: “O Messenger of Allah, who is the most noble of people?” He said: “The most God-fearing of them.” They said: “We are not asking you about this.” He said: “Then you are asking me about the origins of the Arabs? The best of you are the best of you in Islam when they gain understanding.”
