Hadith 9653
اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى ، عن مُحَمَّدُ , حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَة ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّم قَالَ : " النَّاسُ مَعَادِنُ ، فَخِيَارُهُمْ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ ، خِيَارُهُمْ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ إِذَا فَقُهُوا " .
It is narrated with the same chain that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: People are like hidden treasures (mines); those who were the best in the time of ignorance are the best in Islam as well, provided they gain understanding of the religion.
