وَحَدَّثَنِيهِ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْجَوْهَرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي بُرَيْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ قَالَ سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَىُّ الْمُسْلِمِينَ أَفْضَلُ فَذَكَرَ مِثْلَهُ .
Translation
Ibrahim ibn Sa'id al-Jawhari narrated it to me; Abu Usamah narrated to us; Burayd ibn Abdullah narrated to me, with this chain. He said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked, ‘Which of the Muslims is best?’ and he mentioned a report like it.
