أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ حَفْصِ بْنِ غِيَاثٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ مِسْعَرٍ عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ مُصَرِّفٍ عَنْ مُصْعَبِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّهُ ظَنَّ أَنَّ لَهُ فَضْلًا عَلَی مَنْ دُونَهُ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّمَا يَنْصُرُ اللَّهُ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةَ بِضَعِيفِهَا بِدَعْوَتِهِمْ وَصَلَاتِهِمْ وَإِخْلَاصِهِمْ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 3186
It was narrated from Mus’ab bin Saad, from his father, that he thought he was better than other Companions of the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم. The Prophet of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: “Rather, Allah supports this Ummah because of its weak ones, because of their supplication, their alah, and their sincerity.” (Sahih)
