Hadith 8490

عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي قَوْلِهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ {وَكَذَلِكَ جَعَلْنَاكُمْ أُمَّةً وَسَطًا} قَالَ عَدْلًا
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) explained the meaning of "wasatan" in Allah Almighty's statement {وَکَذٰلِکَ جَعَلْنَا کُمْ اُمَّۃً وَّسَطًا} as "just".
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … {وَکَذٰلِکَ جَعَلْنَا کُمْ اُمَّۃً وَّسَطًا} … “And thus We have made you a just community.” The literal meaning of the word “wasat” is “middle,” but it is also used in the sense of “better” and “most excellent.” Here, it is used in this latter sense, meaning that just as you have been granted the best qiblah, in the same way, you have also been made the most virtuous community. And the purpose of this is so that you may bear witness over the people.
