English Translation

Abu Mu'awiyah told us, al-A'mash told us, from Zayd ibn Wahb, from Abu Dharr, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Abu Dharr, raise your eyes and look at the most elevated man you see in the mosque." He said: I looked, and there was a man sitting wearing a fine garment. I said: "This one?" He said: "O Abu Dharr, raise your eyes and look at the most lowly man you see in the mosque." I looked, and there was a weak man wearing worn-out clothes. I said: "This one?" The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "By the One in whose hand is my soul, this one is better with Allah on the Day of Resurrection than an earth full of the likes of that one."
