The Best of Those Will Come After You, Believing in the Book

On the authority of ‘Amr bin Shu’ayb from his father from his grandfather that the Messenger of Allaah [Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him] asked:

“Do you know which creation is most complete in Emaan?”

The Companions [may Allaah be Pleased with them all] replied by saying, “The Angels.”

He [Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him] said, “Why would they not belief when they witness their Lord (i.e. asking who else)?”

The Companions [may Allaah be Pleased with them all] replied by saying, “The Prophets.”

He [Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him] said, “Why would they not believe in the Revelation when it is directly Revealed upon them (i.e. asking who else)?”

The Companions [may Allaah be Pleased with them all] replied by saying, “Then us (i.e. your Companions).”

He [Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him] said, “Why would you not believe whilst you witness the Messenger of Allaah (i.e. asking who else)?”

Then the Prophet [Peace and Blessings of Allaah be upon him] said, “The best of those who Emaan are those who will come after you, they will have with them the Book (i.e. the Quraan) and they believe in it.”
