Hadith of Durrah bint Abi Lahab (may Allah be pleased with her)

حَدِيثُ دُرَّةَ بِنْتِ أَبِي لَهَبٍ (١)، ٢٧٤٣٣ - حَدَّثَنَا أَسْوَدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا شَرِيكٌ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَيْرَةَ، عَنْ دُرَّةَ بِنْتِ أَبِي لَهَبٍ، قَالَتْ: كُنْتُ عِنْدَ عَائِشَةَ فَدَخَلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: " ائْتُونِي بِوَضُوءٍ " قَالَتْ: فَابْتَدَرْتُ أَنَا وَعَائِشَةُ الْكُوزَ فَبَدَرْتُهَا (٢) فَأَخَذْتُهُ أَنَا، فَتَوَضَّأَ فَرَفَعَ بَصَرَهُ إِلَيَّ (٣) أَوْ طَرْفَهُ إِلَيَّ وَقَالَ: " أَنْتِ مِنِّي، وَأَنَا مِنْكِ " قَالَتْ فَأُتِيَ بِرَجُلٍ فَقَالَ: مَا أَنَا فَعَلْتُهُ إِنَّمَا قِيلَ لِي قَالَتْ: وَكَانَ سَأَلَهُ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ مَنْ خَيْرُ النَّاسِ؟ فَقَالَ: " أَفْقَهُهُمْ فِي دِينِ اللهِ، وَأَوْصَلُهُمْ لِرَحِمِهِ " ذَكَرَ فِيهِ شَرِيكٌ شَيْئَيْنِ آخَرَيْنِ لَمْ أَحْفَظْهُمَا (٤)، ،

It is narrated from Durrah bint Abi Lahab (may Allah be pleased with her) that once I was with Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) when the Prophet (ﷺ) came and said: "Bring me water for ablution." Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) and I both hurried towards a vessel, I reached it first and brought it. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) performed ablution and, raising his gaze, said to me: "You are from me and I am from you." Then a man was brought, he said: I did not do this, rather people had told me. He had asked the Prophet (ﷺ) this question from the pulpit: Who among the people is the best? The Prophet (ﷺ) replied: "The one who has the most understanding of Allah's religion and the one who maintains the most ties of kinship."

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ، حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَيْرَةَ، عَنْ زَوْجِ دُرَّةَ بِنْتِ أَبِي لَهَبٍ، عَنْ دُرَّةَ بِنْتِ أَبِي لَهَبٍ، قَالَتْ: قَامَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَيُّ النَّاسِ خَيْرٌ؟ فَقَالَ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " خَيْرُ النَّاسِ أَقْرَؤُهُمْ وَأَتْقَاهُمْ وَآمَرُهُمْ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ، وَأَنْهَاهُمْ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ، وَأَوْصَلُهُمْ لِلرَّحِمِ " (١)، ،

It is narrated from Durrah bint Abi Lahab (may Allah be pleased with her) that once a man asked the Prophet (ﷺ) on the pulpit: "Who is the best among the people?" The Prophet (ﷺ) replied: "The one who recites the Qur'an the most, is most God-fearing, enjoins what is right and forbids what is wrong, and maintains the ties of kinship the most."
