"The Messenger of Allah said: 'Allah has His own people among mankind.' They said: 'O Messenger of Allah, who are they?' He said: 'The people of the Qur'an, the people of Allah and those who are closest to Him.'" (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 215)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ لِلَّهِ أَهْلِينَ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ» قَالُوا وَمَنْ هُمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ «أَهْلُ الْقُرْآنِ هُمْ أَهْلُ اللهِ وَخَاصَّتُهُ»
