حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ، ثَنَا مَيْسَرَةُ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ اللَّيْثِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ ؓ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ:
إِنَّ الرَّجُلَيْنِ لَيَتَوَجَّهَانِ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ، فَيُصَلِّيَانِ، فَيَنْصَرِفُ أَحَدُهُمَا وَصَلَاتُهُ أَوْزَنُ مِنْ أُحُدٍ، وَيَنْصَرِفُ الْآخَرُ وَمَا تَعْدِلُ صَلَاتُهُ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ، فَقَالَ أَبُو حُمَيْدٍ السَّاعِدِيُّ ؓ: وَكَيْفَ يَكُونُ ذَلِكَ ؟ قَالَ: إِذَا كَانَ أَحْسَنَهُمَا عَقْلًا، قَالَ: فَكَيْفَ يَكُونُ ؟ قَالَ: إِذَا كَانَ أَوْرَعَهُمَا عَنْ مَحَارِمِ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَأَحْرَصَهُمَا عَلَى الْمُسَارَعَةِ إِلَى الْخَيْرِ، وَإِنْ كَانَ دُونَهُ فِي التَّطَوُّعِ

✧ Indeed, two men may set out to the mosque and pray, and one of them departs while his prayer is heavier than Mount Uhud, while the other departs and his prayer does not equal the weight of a speck of dust. Abu Humayd al-Sa'idi ؓ said: How can that be? He said: When one of them has better intellect. He said: How is that? He said: When he is more scrupulous regarding the prohibitions of God, Mighty and Majestic, and more eager to hasten to good, even if he is inferior to the other in voluntary deeds.
