حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ عَمْرَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ: سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ: الأرْوَاحُ جُنُودٌ مُجَنَّدَةٌ، فَمَا تَعَارَفَ مِنْهَا ائْتَلَفَ، وَمَا تَنَاكَرَ مِنْهَا اخْتَلَفَ.
'A'isha said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, say, 'The arwah are a massed army. When they already
know each other, they are friendly. When they do not know each other, they
disagree.'"
Ibn 'Abbas said, "What do you reckon to be nobility? Allah has
made nobility clear. The noblest of you in the sight of Allah is the one
with the greatest taqwa. What do you reckon as lineage? The best of you
in lineage is the best of you in character."
Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, said, "The spirits are massed armies. Those of
them that knew one another are friendly. Those that did not know one another
disagree."
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas said, "I do not know anyone who acts by this ayat:
'Mankind!
We created you from a male and a female, and made you into peoples and
tribes so that you might come to know each other. The noblest among you
in Allah's sight is the one with the most taqwa.' (49:13) One man says
to another man, 'I am more noble than you are.' No one is nobler than another
person except by taqwa."
