حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ، ثَنَا مَيْسَرَةُ، عَنْ حَنْظَلَةَ بْنِ وَدَاعَةَ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ ؓ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ:

جَدَّ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَاجْتَهَدُوا فِي طَاعَةِ اللهِ بِالْعَقْلِ، وَجَدَّ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ وَاجْتَهَدُوا فِي طَاعَةِ اللهِ عَلَى قَدْرِ عُقُولِهِمْ، فَأَعْلَمُهُمْ بِطَاعَةِ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَوْفَرُهُمْ عَقْلًا

✧ The angels strove and exerted themselves in obedience to God by intellect, and the believers strove and exerted themselves in obedience to God according to the measure of their intellects. So the most knowledgeable of them in obedience to God, Mighty and Majestic, is the most abundant of them in intellect.
