4259. It was narrated that Ibn 'Umar said: "I was with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and a man from among the Ansār came to him and greeted the Prophet ﷺ with Salām. Then he said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, which of the believers is best?' He said: 'He who has the best manners among them.' He said: 'Which of the believers is wisest?' He said: 'The one who remembers death the most and is best in preparing for it. Those are the wisest.'" (Hasan)
4259 - حَدَّثَنَا الزُّبَيْرُ بْنُ بَكَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ عِيَاضٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا نَافِعُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ فَرْوَةَ بْنِ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ: كُنْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَجَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ، فَسَلَّمَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيُّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ: «أَحْسَنُهُمْ خُلُقًا» ، قَالَ: فَأَيُّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَكْيَسُ؟ قَالَ: «أَكْثَرُهُمْ لِلْمَوْتِ ذِكْرًا، وَأَحْسَنُهُمْ لِمَا بَعْدَهُ اسْتِعْدَادًا، أُولَئِكَ الْأَكْيَاسُ»
