ahmad-zuhd:2354ʿAbdullāh from my father > Hāshim > al-Mubārak > al-Ḥasan

[Machine] A man from the companions of the Prophet ﷺ , among the noblest of them, insulted a man about his mother, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ heard it. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "By the One in whose hand is my soul, you are not better than anyone you see, whether they are red or black, except by their piety."  

الزهد لأحمد:٢٣٥٤حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمٌ حَدَّثَنَا الْمُبَارَكُ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ

أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مِنْ أَفَاضِلِهِمْ عَيَّرَ رَجُلًا بِأُمِّهِ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَسْمَعُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ مَا أَنْتَ بِأَفْضَلَ مِمَّنْ تَرَى مِنْ أَحْمَرَ وَلَا أَسْوَدَ إِلَّا أَنْ تَفْضُلَهُمْ بِالتَّقْوَى»
