(9). 3001. Bahz bin Ḥakīm narrated from his father, from his grandfather that he heard the Prophet ﷺ saying about Allāh, Most High saying: 'You are the best of peoples ever raised up for mankind...[1] He said: "You are the completion of seventy nations, you are the best of them, and the most honorable of them to Allāh."(Hasan) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan. More than one narrator reported this Hadīth from Bahz bin Ḥakīm similarly, but they did not mention 'You are the best of peoples ever raised up for mankind in it.'

Arabic text

٣٠٠١ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، عَنْ ‌مَعْمَرٍ ، عَنْ ‌بَهْزِ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ ‌جَدِّهِ : أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ «فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى: {كُنْتُمْ خَيْرَ أُمَّةٍ أُخْرِجَتْ لِلنَّاسِ} قَالَ: أَنْتُمْ تُتِمُّونَ سَبْعِينَ أُمَّةً أَنْتُمْ خَيْرُهَا وَأَكْرَمُهَا عَلَى اللهِ». هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ، وَقَدْ رَوَى غَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ بَهْزِ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ نَحْوَ هَذَا، وَلَمْ يَذْكُرُوا فِيهِ: {كُنْتُمْ خَيْرَ أُمَّةٍ أُخْرِجَتْ لِلنَّاسِ}.

Commentary

Meaning: You are the moderate nation and the followers of the middle course; you will guide the people to the truth and will bear witness against them regarding Allāh's Religion, and only you are on the Right Path of Religion.
