Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو وَابْنُ أَبِي بُكَيْرٍ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ نَافِعٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ خَالِهِ عَطَاءِ بْنِ نَافِعٍ أَنَّهُمْ دَخَلُوا عَلَى أُمِّ الدَّرْدَاءِ فَأَخْبَرَتْهُمْ أَنَّهَا سَمِعَتْ أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ أَفْضَلَ شَيْءٍ فِي الْمِيزَانِ قَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي بُكَيْرٍ أَثْقَلَ شَيْءٍ فِي الْمِيزَانِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ الْخُلُقُ الْحَسَنُ.
