[Machine] "I was sitting with the Prophet ﷺ , and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Do you know who among the people of faith has the best faith?' They said, 'O Messenger of Allah, is it the angels?' He said, 'They are indeed, and that is fitting for them, as Allah has bestowed upon them a status that He has not given to others.' They said, 'O Messenger of Allah, what about the prophets who were honored by Allah Almighty with prophecy and messengership?' He said, 'They are likewise, and they deserve that. Allah has bestowed upon them a status that He has not given to others.' They said, 'So who are they, O Messenger of Allah?' He said, 'They are people who will come after me, believed in me without seeing me, and they find the pages hanging and they act according to what is written on them. These are the best people in faith.'"  

كُنْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ جَالِسًا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَتَدْرُونَ أَيُّ أَهْلِ الْإِيمَانِ أَفْضَلُ إِيمَانًا؟» قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ؟ قَالَ «هُمْ كَذَلِكَ وَيَحِقُّ ذَلِكَ لَهُمْ وَمَا يَمْنَعُهُمْ وَقَدْ أَنْزَلَهُمُ اللَّهُ الْمَنْزِلَةَ الَّتِي أَنْزَلَهُمْ بِهَا بَلْ غَيْرُهُمْ» قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَالْأَنْبِيَاءُ الَّذِينَ أَكْرَمَهُمُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى بِالنُّبُوَّةِ وَالرِّسَالَةِ؟ قَالَ «هُمْ كَذَلِكَ وَيَحِقُّ لَهُمْ ذَلِكَ وَمَا يَمْنَعُهُمْ وَقَدْ أَنْزَلَهُمُ اللَّهُ الْمَنْزِلَةَ الَّتِي أَنْزَلَهُمْ بِهَا بَلْ غَيْرُهُمْ» قَالَ قُلْنَا فَمَنْ هُمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «أَقْوَامٌ يَأْتُونَ مِنْ بَعْدِي فِي أَصْلَابِ الرِّجَالِ فَيُؤْمِنُونَ بِي وَلَمْ يَرَوْنِي وَيَجِدُونَ الْوَرَقَ الْمُعَلَّقَ فَيَعْمَلُونَ بِمَا فِيهِ فَهَؤُلَاءِ أَفْضَلُ أَهْلِ الْإِيمَانِ إِيمَانًا»
