Sunan Ibn Majah, 4259

Rapporté par Ibn ‘Umar : J’étais avec le Messager d’Allah (ﷺ) lorsqu’un homme des Ansar est venu le saluer. Il demanda : “Ô Messager d’Allah, quel croyant est le meilleur ?” Il répondit : “Celui qui a le meilleur comportement.” Il demanda : “Et qui est le plus sage ?” Il répondit : “Celui qui pense le plus à la mort et se prépare le mieux pour elle. Ce sont eux les plus sages.”

It was narrated that Ibn ‘Umar said:“I was with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and a man from among the Ansar came to him and greeted the Prophet (ﷺ) with Salam. Then he said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, which of the believers is best?’ He said: ‘He who has the best manners among them.’ He said: ‘Which of them is wisest?’ He said: ‘The one who remembers death the most and is best in preparing for it. Those are the wisest.’”
