Arabic text

٢٨٧٢ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْخَلَّالُ ‌وَغَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ، قَالُوا: حَدَّثَنَا ‌عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا ‌مَعْمَرٌ ، عَنِ ‌الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ ‌سَالِمٍ ، عَنِ ‌ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّمَا النَّاسُ كَإِبِلٍ» مِائَةٍ لَا يَجِدُ الرَّجُلُ فِيهَا رَاحِلَةً. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

Commentary

Rāhilah is a female camel which is young, strong and can be used for riding; there are very few among the people who have all the best characteristics, so a person for company, friendship and trust should be selected carefully; behold, if a person keeps looking for someone who is with the most perfect character, then he cannot live with any person.
