عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قِيلَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! أَيُّ النَّاسِ خَيْرٌ؟ قَالَ: ”أَنَا وَمَنْ مَعِي.“ قَالَ: فَقِيلَ لَهُ: ثُمَّ مَنْ؟ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ!، قَالَ: ”الَّذِي عَلَى الْأَثَرِ.“ قِيلَ لَهُ: ثُمَّ مَنْ؟ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ!، قَالَ: فَرَفَضَهُمْ.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked, "O Messenger of Allah! Who are the most virtuous among the people?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) replied, "Myself and those with me." Then it was asked, "Who are the most virtuous after them?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Those who come after them." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked, "Who are after them?" So he left (i.e., remained silent).
