Book 37: Zuhd
It was
narrated that Ibn ‘Umar said: “I was with the Messenger of
Allah
(ﷺ) and a man from among the Ansar came to him and greeted the
Prophet (ﷺ) with Salam. Then he said: ‘O Messenger of Allah,
which
of the believers is best?’ He said: ‘He who has the best
manners among
them.’ He said: ‘Which of them is wisest?’ He
said: ‘The one who
remembers death the most and is best in
preparing for it. Those are
the wisest.’”
حَدَّثَنَا الزُّبَيْرُ بْنُ بَكَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ عِيَاضٍ، حَدَّثَنَا نَافِعُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ فَرْوَةَ بْنِ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : كُنْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَجَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ ثُمَّ قَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَىُّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَفْضَلُ قَالَ : ” أَحْسَنُهُمْ خُلُقًا ” . قَالَ فَأَىُّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَكْيَسُ قَالَ : ” أَكْثَرُهُمْ لِلْمَوْتِ ذِكْرًا وَأَحْسَنُهُمْ لِمَا بَعْدَهُ اسْتِعْدَادًا أُولَئِكَ الأَكْيَاسُ ” .
