The Best
Al-Sheikh Al-Sadooq through his chain of narrators, narrated from Imam Ali (a.s) that the Messenger of God (s.a.w) said:
The best of the worshippers are those who offer the obligatory.
The best of the generous people are those who have paid the zakat of their wealth.
The best of the detached people from dunya are those who are detached from Haraam.
The best of the pious people are those who tell the truth be it for or against themselves.
The best of the just people are those who like for people what they like for themselves & dislike for people what they dislike for themselves.
The best of the envied are those who are buried & feel secure from chastisement, hoping for reward.
