Sayyiduna Abu Dharr al-Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "Consider this! For you are not better than anyone red-skinned (that is, fair-skinned) or black-skinned, unless you surpass him in taqwa."
Ahmad recorded it, and its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy), except that Bakr bin Abdullah al-Muzani did not hear from Sayyiduna Abu Dharr al-Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him).
