عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ ، حَدَّثَنَا
حَمَّادٌ ، عَنْ
عَمَّارٍ ، قََالَ : سَمِعْتُ
أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ , يَقُولُ : قََالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ :
" خِيَارُكُمْ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ خِيَارُكُمْ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ إِذَا فَقِهُوا " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Those among you who were the best in the time of ignorance are also the best in the time of Islam, provided they become learned in religion.
