حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ، ثَنَا مَيْسَرَةُ، عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ ؓ، قَالَ:
قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ; إِلَى مَا يَنْتَهِي النَّاسُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ، قَالَ: إِلَى أَعْمَالِهِمْ مَنْ يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ خَيْرًا يَرَهُ، وَمَنْ يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ شَرًّا يَرَهُ قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ: أَيُّهُمْ أَفْضَلُ أَعْمَالًا ؟ قَالَ ﷺ: أَحْسَنُهُمْ عَقْلًا، قُلْتُ: هَذَا فِي الدُّنْيَا، فَأَيُّهُمْ أَفْضَلُ فِي الْآخِرَةِ ؟ قَالَ ﷺ: أَحْسَنُهُمْ عَقْلًا، إِنَّ الْعَقْلَ سَيِّدُ الْأَعْمَالِ فِي الدَّارَيْنِ جَمِيعًا

✧ I said: O Messenger of God, to what will people end up on the Day of Resurrection? He said: To their deeds. Whoever does an atom's weight of good will see it, and whoever does an atom's weight of evil will see it. I said: Which of them is best in deeds? He said ﷺ: The best of them in intellect. I said: This is in this world, so which of them is best in the Hereafter? He said ﷺ: The best of them in intellect. Indeed the intellect is the master of deeds in both abodes altogether.
