Arabic text

156 - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي حَرْبِ بْنِ أَبِي الْأَسْوَدِ الدِّيْلِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «مَا أَقَلَّتِ الْغَبْرَاءُ، وَلَا أَظَلَّتِ الْخَضْرَاءُ، مِنْ رَجُلٍ أَصْدَقَ لَهْجَةً مِنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ»

Commentary

The Hadith does not mean that Abu Dharr ﷺ has outdone Abu Bakr ﷺ in superiority, since Abu Bakr ﷺ had many other virtues as well in which he was superior to Abu Dharr ﷺ. (18/11) The Virtues Of Sa'dBin Mu'adh His full name is Sa'd bin Mu'adh bin Nu'man bin Imra'ul-Qais bin Zaid bin 'Abdul Ashhal Al-Ansari, nicknamed Abu 'Amr. His mother's name was Kabshah bint Ra'fi'. He entered the fold of Islam by the preaching of Mus'ab ﷺ appointed by the Prophet ﷺ to invite people to Islam in Al-Madinah. He met his martyrdom as a result of excessive bleeding from a wound received in the battle of Banu Quraizah. The Prophet ﷺ himself led the funeral prayer for him. And when the Prophet ﷺ returned from his burial, tears were seen trickling down to his beard. Sa'd ﷺ died at the age of 37 in the month of Shawwal 5 AH.
