قَالَ الْحَارِثُ بْنُ أَبِي أُسَامَةَ: ثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ الْمُحَبَّرِ، ثَنَا مَيْسَرَةُ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ قَالَ:

إِنَّ عُمَرَ، وَأَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، وَأُبَيَّ بْنَ كَعْبٍ، دَخَلُوا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، مَنْ أَعْلَمُ النَّاسِ ؟ قَالَ ﷺ: الْعَاقِلُ، قَالُوا: فَمَنْ أَعْبَدُ النَّاسِ ؟ قَالَ ﷺ: الْعَاقِلُ، قَالُوا: فَمَنْ أَفْضَلُ النَّاسِ ؟ قَالَ: الْعَاقِلُ، فَقَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَلَيْسَ الْعَاقِلُ مَنْ تَمَّتْ مُرُوءَتُهُ، وَظَهَرَتْ فَصَاحَتُهُ، وَعَظُمَتْ مَنْزِلَتُهُ، فَقَالَ: فَإِنَّ كُلَّ ذَلِكَ لَمَّا مَتَاعُ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا ( الْآيَةَ )، وَلَكِنَّ الْعَاقِلَ الْمُتَّقِي، وَإِنْ كَانَ فِي الدُّنْيَا خَسِيسًا، قَصِيًّا، دَنِيًّا.

✧ Umar, Abu Hurayrah, and Ubayy b. Ka'b entered upon the Messenger of God ﷺ and said: 'O Messenger of God, who is the most knowledgeable of people?' He ﷺ said: 'The intelligent one.' They said: 'Then who is the most devoted worshipper among people?' He ﷺ said: 'The intelligent one.' They said: 'Then who is the most virtuous of people?' He said: 'The intelligent one.' They said: 'O Messenger of God, is not the intelligent one the one whose manliness is complete, whose eloquence is evident, and whose status is great?' He said: 'Indeed all of that is but the enjoyment of the worldly life (the verse), but the intelligent one is the one who is God-fearing, even if in this world he is lowly, remote, and humble.'
