Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ وَأَبُو سَلَمَةَ الْخُزَاعِيُّ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ عَنْ يَزِيدَ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْهَادِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِأَحَبِّكُمْ إِلَيَّ وَأَقْرَبِكُمْ مِنِّي مَجْلِسًا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَسَكَتَ الْقَوْمُ فَأَعَادَهَا مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثًا قَالَ الْقَوْمُ نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ أَحْسَنُكُمْ خُلُقًا.
English Translation
Yunus and Abu Salamah al-Khuza'i said: Layth narrated from Yazid - meaning Ibn al-Had - from Amr ibn Shu'ayb from his father from his grandfather that he heard the Prophet (peace be upon him) saying: "Shall I not inform you of the most beloved of you to me and the closest of you to me in seating on the Day of Resurrection?" The people were silent, so he repeated it two or three times. The people said: "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He said: "The best of you in character."
