"The best of people are the most to recite the Quran, the most fearful of Allah, the most enjoining of good, the most forbidding of evil, and the most to maintain family relations."
قَامَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَهُوَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَيُّ النَّاسِ خَيْرٌ؟ فَقَالَ ﷺ خَيْرُ النَّاسِ أَقْرَؤُهُمْ وَأَتْقَاهُمْ وَآمَرُهُمْ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَأَنْهَاهُمْ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَأَوْصَلُهُمْ لِلرَّحِمِ
[Machine] About the wife of Durrah bint Abi Lahab, she reported: "I was with Aisha when a man came to the Prophet ﷺ. The Prophet was on the pulpit and the man called out to him, saying, 'O Messenger of Allah, who among the people is the best?' So, the man came closer and the Prophet said, 'The best among the people is the one who is the most God-fearing, commands good, forbids evil, and maintains family ties.'"
عَنْ زَوْجِ دُرَّةَ بِنْتِ أَبِي لَهَبٍ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ كُنْتُ عِنْدَ عَائِشَةَ فَجِيءَ بِرَجُلٍ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ كَانَ نَادَاهُ وَهُوَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَيُّ النَّاسِ خَيْرٌ؟ قَالَتْ فَأَتَى الرَّجُلُ فَأَخَذَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَيْسَ لِي ذَنْبٌ أَمَرَنِي فُلَانٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «خَيْرُ النَّاسِ أَتْقَاهُمْ وَآمَرُهُمْ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَأَنْهَاهُمْ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَأَوْصَلُهُمْ لِلرَّحِمِ»
[Machine] I said, "O Messenger of Allah, who is the most God-conscious among people?" He said, "The one who encourages them to do good, discourages them from evil, and maintains their family ties."
قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَنْ أَتْقَى النَّاسِ لِلَّهِ ﷻ؟ قَالَ آمَرُهُمْ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَأَنْهَاهُمْ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَأَوْصَلُهُمْ لِلرَّحِمِ
"خَيْرُ النَّاسِ أَتْقَاهُم للَّه، وآمَرُهُم بالمَعْرُوفِ، وَأَنْهَاهُم عن المنكرِ، وَأَوْصَلُهُم للرَّحم".
"خَيْرُ النَّاسِ أَقْرَؤُهُم، وأَفْقَهُهُم في دين اللَّه أَتْقَاهُم للَّه وآمَرُهُم بالمعروف، وَأَنْهاهم عن المنكر، وَأَوْصَلُهُم لِلرَّحِمِ".
