Some of the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) narrate: "Soon a fool, son of a fool, will dominate the world, and the most excellent of people is the believer who is the child of two righteous parents."
Ahmad recorded it; he did not record it as marfu' (attributed to the Prophet), and its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy). (Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: Various chains of this hadith will come later in the chapter on the signs of the Hour, being the hadith narrated from Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him), Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Abu Dharr al-Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him).
