حَدَّثَنَا الزُّبَيْرُ بْنُ بَکَّارٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ عِيَاضٍ حَدَّثَنَا نَافِعُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ فَرْوَةَ بْنِ قَيْسٍ عَنْ عَطَائِ بْنِ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ کُنْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَجَائَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَی النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيُّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَفْضَلُ قَالَ أَحْسَنُهُمْ خُلُقًا قَالَ فَأَيُّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَکْيَسُ قَالَ أَکْثَرُهُمْ لِلْمَوْتِ ذِکْرًا وَأَحْسَنُهُمْ لِمَا بَعْدَهُ اسْتِعْدَادًا أُولَئِکَ الْأَکْيَاسُ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 4259
It was narrated that Ibn 'Umar said: " was with the Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H and a man from among the Ansar came to him and greeted the Prophet P.B.U.H with Salam. Then he said: '0 Messenger of Allah, which of the believers is best?' He said: 'He who has the best manners among them.' He said: 'Which of the believers is wisest?' He said: 'The one who remembers death the most and is best in preparing for It. Those are the wisest.": (Hasan)
