Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 17927

وَعَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ قَالَ : قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " انْظُرْ أَرْفَعَ رَجُلٍ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ " . قَالَ : فَنَظَرْتُ فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ عَلَيْهِ حُلَّةٌ ، قُلْتُ : هَذَا ، قَالَ لِي : " انْظُرْ أَوْضَعَ رَجُلٍ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ " . قَالَ : فَنَظَرْتُ فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ عَلَيْهِ أَخْلَاقٌ . قُلْتُ : هَذَا ! قَالَ : فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " لَهَذَا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ أَخْيَرُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مِنْ مِلْءِ الْأَرْضِ مِثْلِ هَذَا " . رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَالْبَزَّارُ ، وَالطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْأَوْسَطِ بِأَسَانِيدَ ، وَرِجَالُ أَحْمَدَ ، وَأَحَدُ إِسْنَادَيِ الْبَزَّارِ وَالطَّبَرَانِيِّ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ .
Sayyiduna Abu Dharr al-Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "Look and see who is the person of the most prominent standing in the mosque." (That is, the one who looks wealthy.) I looked, and there was a man wearing a fine suit of clothes (hullah). I said: This one. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "Look and see who is the person of the lowliest standing in the mosque." (That is, the one who looks poorest.) I looked, and there was a man whose clothes were worn and tattered. I said: This one. The narrator says: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "On the Day of Resurrection, this (poor) man will be better in the sight of Allah Almighty than enough people like that (rich) man to fill the earth."
Imam Ahmad, Imam al-Bazzar, and Imam al-Tabarani in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat recorded it with various chains. The narrators of Imam Ahmad, and of one of the chains of Imam al-Bazzar and Imam al-Tabarani, are the narrators of the Sahih.
