English translation
[6500] 1 - (2548) It was narrated that Abû Hurairah said: "A man came to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and said: 'Which of the people is most deserving of my best companionship?' He said: 'Your mother.' He said: 'Then who?' He said: 'Then your mother.' He said: 'Then who?' He said: 'Then your mother.' He said: 'Then who?' He said: 'Then your father.'" In the Hadîth of Qutaibah it says: "Who is most deserving of my best companionship?" And he did not say: "Which of the people?"
