Chapter: Death and preparing for it
Hadith 4259
حَدَّثَنَا الزُّبَيْرُ بْنُ بَكَّارٍ , حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ عِيَاضٍ , حَدَّثَنَا نَافِعُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ , عَنْ فَرْوَةَ بْنِ قَيْسٍ , عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ , عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ , أَنَّهُ قَالَ : كُنْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , فَجَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ , فَسَلَّمَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , ثُمَّ قَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ , أَيُّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَفْضَلُ ؟ قَالَ : " أَحْسَنُهُمْ خُلُقًا " , قَالَ : فَأَيُّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَكْيَسُ ؟ قَالَ : " أَكْثَرُهُمْ لِلْمَوْتِ ذِكْرًا , وَأَحْسَنُهُمْ لِمَا بَعْدَهُ اسْتِعْدَادًا , أُولَئِكَ الْأَكْيَاسُ " .
´It was narrated that Ibn ‘Umar said:` “I was with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and a man from among the Ansar came to him and greeted the Prophet (ﷺ) with Salam. Then he said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, which of the believers is best?’ He said: ‘He who has the best manners among them.’ He said: ‘Which of them is wisest?’ He said: ‘The one who remembers death the most and is best in preparing for it. Those are the wisest.’”
