Hadith 42
This hadith is listed as number 163 in Maktaba Shamila
وحَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ الأُمَوِيُّ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بُرْدَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ بْنِ أَبِي مُوسَى ، عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَيُّ الإِسْلامِ أَفْضَلُ ؟ قَالَ : " مَنْ سَلِمَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ مِنْ لِسَانِهِ ، وَيَدِهِ " .
It is narrated on the authority of Abu Musa Ash'ari: I asked the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) which (attribute) of Islam is more excellent. Upon this he remarked: One in which the Muslims are safe, protected from the tongue and hand of (other Muslims). Ibrahim bin Sa'id al-Jauhari has narrated this hadith with the same words in addition to these. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) (may peace and blessings be upon him) was asked as to who amongst the Muslims is better, and the rest of the hadith was narrated like this.
