حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُطِيعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، حَدَّثَنَا الْكَوْثَرُ هُوَ ابْنُ حَكِيمٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ؓ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
« يَا أُمَّ عَبْدٍ، هَلْ تَدْرِي مَنْ أَفْضَلُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِيمَانًا ؟ » قَالَتْ: اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ، قَالَ ﷺ: « أَحَاسِنُهُمْ أَخْلَاقًا، الْمُوَطَّئُونَ أَكْنَافًا، لَا يَبْلُغُ عَبْدٌ حَقِيقَةَ الْإِيمَانِ حَتَّى يُحِبَّ لِلنَّاسِ مَا يُحِبُّ لِنَفْسِهِ، وَحَتَّى يَأْمَنَ جَارُهُ بَوَائِقَهُ

✧ "O Umm 'Abd, do you know who is the best of the believers in faith?" She said: Allah and His Messenger know best. He ﷺ said: "Those with the best character, who are easygoing and gentle. A servant does not attain the reality of faith until he loves for people what he loves for himself, and until his neighbor is safe from his harm."
