حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَمْزَةَ حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ وَاقِدٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُغِيثُ بْنُ سُمَىٍّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو قَالَ:
قِيلَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَىُّ النَّاسِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ: «كُلُّ مَخْمُومِ الْقَلْبِ صَدُوقِ اللِّسَانِ». قَالُوا: صَدُوقُ اللِّسَانِ نَعْرِفُهُ فَمَا مَخْمُومُ الْقَلْبِ؟ قَالَ: «هُوَ التَّقِيُّ النَّقِيُّ: لاَ إِثْمَ فِيهِ وَلاَ بَغْىَ وَلاَ غِلَّ وَلاَ حَسَدَ».

It was said to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: Which of the people is best? He said, “Everyone who has a makhmūm (tented) heart with a truthful tongue.” They said: Truthful tongue we know of, ˹however˺ what is makhmūm heart?’ He said: “It is one that is God-conscious and an untainted one: one that has no sin, injustice, rancor, or envy in it.”
