[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said,

"The best of my Ummah (people) are those whom the noble angels informed me about. They are a people who laugh openly due to the abundance of their Lord's mercy, and they weep secretly out of fear of the severity of their Lord's punishment. They remember their Lord in the mornings and evenings in their pure homes, mosques. They supplicate to Him willingly and fearfully with their tongues, and they seek His protection with their hands, humbling themselves and raising them. They approach Him with their hearts, turning to Him completely. Their dealing with people is light and easy, but with themselves, it is serious and heavy. They tread upon the earth barefoot, humble like ants, without arrogance or pride. They walk with tranquility and draw near to Allah through means of obedience. They recite the Quran and bring themselves closer to Allah through sacrifice. They adorn themselves with the two characteristics granted by Allah, that is, presence to witness and observing eyes. They take lessons from their fellow creatures, and they contemplate upon the conditions of lands and the souls in this world, while their hearts are set on the Hereafter. They have no concern except their Imam (leader). They prepare their provisions for their graves, make arrangements for their journey, and get ready for their destination."

Then the Messenger of Allah recited the verse,

"That is [giving] to those who fear My position and fear the threat [of punishment]." [Surah Ibrahim: 14]  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «خِيَارُ أُمَّتِي فِيمَا أَنْبَأَنِي الْمَلَأُ الْأَعْلَى قَوْمٌ يَضْحَكُونَ جَهْرًا فِي سَعَةِ رَحْمَةِ رَبِّهِمْ ﷻ وَيَبْكُونَ سِرًّا مِنْ خَوْفِ شِدَّةِ عَذَابِ رَبِّهِمْ ﷻ يَذْكُرُونَ رَبَّهُمْ بِالْغَدَاةِ وَالْعَشِيِّ فِي الْبُيُوتِ الطَّيِّبَةِ الْمَسَاجِدِ وَيَدْعُونَهُ بِأَلْسِنَتِهِمْ رَغَبًا وَرَهَبًا وَيَسْأَلُونَهُ بِأَيْدِيهِمْ خَفْضًا وَرَفْعًا وَيُقْبِلُونَ بِقُلُوبِهِمْ عَوْدًا وَبَدْءًا فَمُئونَتُهُمْ عَلَى النَّاسِ خَفِيفَةً وَعَلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ ثَقِيلَةً يَدِبُّونَ فِي الْأَرْضِ حُفَاةً عَلَى أَقْدَامِهِمْ كَدَبِيبِ النَّمْلِ بِلَا مَرَحٍ وَلَا بَذَخٍ يَمْشُونَ بِالسَّكِينَةِ وَيَتَقَرَّبُونَ بِالْوَسِيلَةِ وَيَقْرَءُونَ الْقُرْآنَ وَيُقَرِّبُونَ الْقُرْبَانِ وَيَلْبَسُونَ الْخُلْقَانِ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنَ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى شُهُودٌ حَاضِرَةٌ وَعَيْنٌ حَافِظَةٌ يَتَوَسَّمُونَ الْعِبَادَ وَيَتَفَكَّرُونَ فِي الْبِلَادِ أَرْوَاحُهُمْ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَقُلُوبُهُمْ فِي الْآخِرَةِ لَيْسَ لَهُمْ هَمٌّ إِلَّا إِمَامُهُمْ أَعَدُّوا الْجِهَازَ لِقُبُورِهِمْ وَالْجَوَازَ لِسَبِيلِهِمْ وَالِاسْتِعْدَادَ لِمُقَامِهِمْ» ثُمَّ تَلَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ {ذَلِكَ لِمَنْ خَافَ مَقَامِي وَخَافَ وَعِيدِ} [إبراهيم 14]
