حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمٌ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ عَنْ سِمَاكٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ فِي قَوْلِهِ كُنْتُمْ خَيْرَ أُمَّةٍ أُخْرِجَتْ لِلنَّاسِ قَالَ الَّذِينَ هَاجَرُوا مَعَ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 2928
It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas (RA) said concerning the verse, "You (true believers in Islamic Monotheism, and real followers of Prophet Mhammad (PBUH) and his Sunnah ) are the best of peoples ever raised up for mankind" [AI Tmran 3:11]: [This refers to] those who migrated with Muhammad (PBUH) to Madinah.
