(فَضِيلَةُ التَّقْوَى)
(The virtue of piety)
Hadith 5198
عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَهُ: «إِنَّكَ لَسْتَ بِخَيْرٍ مِنْ أَحْمَرَ وَلَا أَسْوَدَ إِلَّا أَنْ تفضلَه بتقوى» . رَوَاهُ أَحْمد
It is narrated from Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "You are not better than a red-skinned person nor a black-skinned person, except that you excel him through piety." Its chain is weak, narrated by Ahmad.
