وَقَالَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْأُمَوِيُّ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ عُمَارَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، قَالَ:
كُنْتُ جَالِسًا عِنْدَ عَبْدِ اللهِ ؓ فَذَكَرُوا أَصْحَابَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَمَا سَبَقَ لَهُمْ مِنَ الْفَضْلِ، قَالَ: إِنَّ أَمْرَ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ كَانَ بَيِّنًا لِمَنْ رَآهُ، وَالَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ غَيْرُهُ، مَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ إِيمَانٍ بِغَيْبٍ، ثُمَّ قَرَأَ: الم ذَلِكَ الْكِتَابُ لا رَيْبَ فِيهِ هُدًى لِلْمُتَّقِينَ إِلَى الْمُفْلِحُونَ

✧ I was sitting with 'Abdullah ؓ, and they mentioned the companions of the Prophet ﷺ and the virtue that came before them. He said: 'Indeed, the matter of Muhammad ﷺ was clear to whoever saw him. And by the One besides whom there is no god, there is no one better than faith in the unseen.' Then he recited: 'Alif Lam Mim. This is the Book about which there is no doubt, a guidance for the God-fearing... to the successful.'
