حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ أَبُو عُمَرَ الضَّرِيرُ، قَالَ: نَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، قَالَ: نَا فُضَيْلُ بْنُ عِيَاضٍ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنِ الْمَعْرُورِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ، قَالَ:
كُنْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ، فَقَالَ: انْظُرْ أَيَّ رَجُلٍ تَرَى فِي عَيْنِكَ أَرْفَعَ، فَنَظَرْتُ، فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ عَلَيْهِ حُلَّةٌ، وَحَوْلَهُ نَاسٌ، قُلْتُ: هَذَا، قَالَ: انْظُرْ أَيَّ رَجُلٍ تَرَى أَدْنَى فِي عَيْنِكَ، فَنَظَرْتُ فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ عَلَيْهِ كِسَاءٌ، قُلْتُ: هَذَا، قَالَ: هَذَا خَيْرٌ عِنْدَ اللهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مِنْ قُرَابِ الْأَرْضِ مِثْلَ هَذَا.

✧ I was with the Prophet ﷺ in the mosque. He said: "Look, which man do you consider most elevated in your eyes?" I looked, and there was a man wearing a fine garment, surrounded by people. I said: "This one." He said: "Look, which man do you consider lowest in your eyes?" I looked, and there was a man wearing a coarse cloak. I said: "This one." He said: "This one is better in the sight of Allah on the Day of Resurrection than the earth's fill of the like of that one."
