أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ مِغْوَلٍ، عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ: قِيلَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَيُّ الْإِسْلَامِ أَفْضَلُ ؟ . قَالَ: "مَنْ سَلِمَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ مِنْ لِسَانِهِ وَيَدِهِ".
Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) said: It was asked: O Messenger of Allah! Which Islam is the best? (That is, who is the best among the Muslims?) He replied: "The one from whose tongue and hand other Muslims are safe."
