[6709] 160 - (...) It was narrated from Abû Hurairah in a Hadîth which he attributed to the Prophet ﷺ: “People are of different qualities like silver and gold; the best of them in the Jâhiliyyah will be the best of them in Islam, if they attain the true understanding of religion (Fiqh). And souls are like conscripted soldiers; those whom they recognize they come together, and those whom they do not recognize, they stay away.”
160 - (2638) حَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا كَثِيرُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ، حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ بُرْقَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ الْأَصَمِّ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، بِحَدِيثٍ يَرْفَعُهُ، قَالَ: «النَّاسُ مَعَادِنُ كَمَعَادِنِ الْفِضَّةِ وَالذَّهَبِ، خِيَارُهُمْ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ خِيَارُهُمْ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ إِذَا فَقُهُوا، وَالْأَرْوَاحُ جُنُودٌ مُجَنَّدَةٌ، فَمَا تَعَارَفَ مِنْهَا ائْتَلَفَ، وَمَا تَنَاكَرَ مِنْهَا اخْتَلَفَ»
