Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يَعْلَى حَدَّثَنَا فِطْرٌ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ الرَّحِمَ مُعَلَّقَةٌ بِالْعَرْشِ وَلَيْسَ الْوَاصِلُ بِالْمُكَافِئِ وَلَكِنَّ الْوَاصِلَ الَّذِي إِذَا انْقَطَعَتْ رَحِمُهُ وَصَلَهَا.
English Translation
Yahya ibn Sa'id narrated from Shu'bah: Amr ibn Murrah narrated to me from Abdullah ibn al-Harith from Abu Kathir from Abdullah ibn Amr from the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him): He was asked: Which person is best? He said: Everyone whose heart is makhmum (pure, free from evil) and whose tongue is truthful. They said: Truthful tongue we know, but what is makhmum of heart? He said: The one who is pious, pure, having no sin, no transgression, no rancor, and no envy.
