Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 12119

وَعَنْ دُرَّةَ ابْنَةِ أَبِي لَهَبٍ قَالَتْ : قَامَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَهُوَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَيُّ النَّاسِ خَيْرٌ ؟ قَالَ : " خَيْرُ النَّاسِ أَقْرَؤُهُمْ وَأَتْقَاهُمْ وَآمَرُهُمْ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَأَنْهَاهُمْ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَأَوْصَلُهُمْ لِلرَّحِمِ " . رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ وَهَذَا لَفَظَهُ وَالطَّبَرَانِيُّ ، وَزَادَ : قَالَتْ : كُنْتُ عِنْدَ عَائِشَةَ ، فَجِيءَ بِرَجُلٍ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - كَأَنَّهُ نَادَاهُ وَهُوَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَيُّ النَّاسِ خَيْرٌ ؟ قَالَتْ : فَأَتَى الرَّجُلُ فَأُخِذَ فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، لَيْسَ لِي ذَنْبٌ أَمَرَنِي فُلَانٌ ، وَالْبَاقِي بِنَحْوِهِ . وَرِجَالُهُمَا ثِقَاتٌ ، وَفِي بَعْضِهِمْ كَلَامٌ لَا يَضُرُّ .
Sayyidah Durrah bint Abi Lahab (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: A man stood up before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) while he (peace and blessings be upon him) was on the pulpit, and said: O Messenger of Allah! Who is the best of people? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The best of people is the one who is most learned, most God-fearing, most enjoining of good, most forbidding of evil, and most keeping of the ties of kinship."
Ahmad recorded it, and these are his words; al-Tabarani also recorded it and added these words: "She said: I was with Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) when a man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and called out to him loudly while the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was on the pulpit, and said: O Messenger of Allah! Who is the best of people? She said: A man came who had been seized, and he said: O Messenger of Allah! I have committed no sin; so-and-so told me to do it." The rest of the narration is as before. The narrators of both are thiqat (trustworthy), and there is criticism of some of them that does no harm.
