Have your ever wondered to yourself what it actually means to be the best?
When we are told that this is the best or that was the greatest or this will
bring the most benefit etc, have you ever thought who on Earth gave such
people- editors the authority to tell us that?
In an age when we have a
plethora of Top 10 or Top 100 lists on everything from cars to films, from
foods to places, one wonders where is that list that will really provide
some benefit to us in this current short life and the next everlasting one.
Below, from a choice of hundreds of narrations from our beloved Prophet
Muhammad (pbuh) you can find 100 Ahadith, in no particular order of merit,
detailing ways on exactly how to become the best, how to have the most
excellent characteristics, what really will prove most beneficial for us to
know, what really are the greatest things to think about and hope for and
indeed, how to become the most beloved of people to our Exalted Creator,
Allah (Swt).
Take some time out (its not short!) to read them, memorize them, and then
see how many you can get done and how many of your friends and relatives you
can get involved in it too.
Dont be ordinary. Dont be common. Dont be average be the best
[Sayyidina Muhammad (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) told us:
1. The best of the Muslims is he from whose hand and tongue the
Muslims are safe. (Muslim).
2. The best of people are those with the most excellent character.
(at-Tabarani, Sahih).
3. The best of people are those that bring most benefit to the rest
of mankind. (Daraqutni, Hasan).
4. The best of people are those who are best in fulfilling (rights).
(Ibn Majah, Sahih).
5. The best of people during fitnah (trouble) is a man who takes up
the reins of his horse pursuing the enemies of Allah, causing them fear yet
they make him fearful too, or a man who secludes himself in the desert
fulfilling the rights of Allah upon him. (Hakim, Sahih).
6. The best of mankind is my generation, then those that follow them
and then those that follow them. Then there shall come a people after them
who will become avaricious, who will love gluttony, and who will give
witness before they are asked for it. (at-Tirmidhi, Sahih).
7. The best of people are those who live longest and excel in their
deeds, whereas the worst of people are those who live longest and corrupt
their deeds. (at-Tirmidhi, Sahih).
8. The best of women are those that please him (her husband) when he
sees her, obeys him when she is commanded, and who does not secretly betray
him with regards to herself and her money in that which he dislikes. (Ahmad,
Sahih).
9. The best of women are those that please you when you see them,
obey you when commended, and who safeguard themselves and your money in your
absence. (Tabrani, Sahih).
10. The best of marriages are the easiest ones. (abuDawud, Sahih).
11. The best of your dates is the Borniyyu date; it expels disease yet
does not contain any disease itself. (Hakim, Hasan).
12. The best of your garments are those which are white; shroud your
dead in them and clothe your living with them. The best of that which you
apply to your eyelids is antimony causing the eyelashes to grow and
sharpening the eyesight. (Ibn Hibban, Sahih).
13. The best quality of your religion is scruulousness. (Hakim,
sahih).
14. The best of your religion is that which is easiest.(Ahmad, Sahih).
15. The best of the prayer lines for men are the first rows, the worst
being the final rows. The best of the prayer lines for women are the final
rows and the worst are the first rows. (Muslim).
16. The best prayers for women are those performed in the most
secluded parts of their houses. (Ibn khuzaymah, Sahih).

character as long as you deeply understand the religion. (Ahmad, Sahih).
18. The best of you are the best of you in fulfilling (rights).
(Ahmad, Sahih).
19. The best of you are those who are best to their families, and I am
the best of you to my family. (at-Tirmidhi, Sahih).
20. The best of you are my generation, then those that follow them and
then those that follow them. Then there shall come after them a people who
will betray and be untrustworthy, will give witness even though they have
not been asked to, will make vows yet will not fulfill them and obesity will
appear amongst them. (Sahih Al-Bukhary).
21. The best of you are those who feed others and return greetings.
(abu Yala, Hasan).
22. The best of you is he from who good is anticipated and safety from
his evil is assured; the worst of you is he from whom nothing good is
expected and one is not safe from his evil. (at-Tirmidhi, Sahih).
23. The best thing mankind has been given is excellent character.
(Hakim, Sahih).
24. The best of that which you treat yourself with is cupping. (Hakim,
Sahih).
25. The best of journeys undertaken are to this Mosque of mind and the
Ancient Hosue. (Ahmad, Sahih).
