Best of people are most useful

Saturday, May 18, 1996

خَيْرُ النَّاسِ أَنْفَعُهُمْ لِلنَّاسِ
Transliteration

Khayru-n-nasi anfa'uhum li-n-nas.

Translation

The best of people are those most beneficial to people.

Narrated by Jabir ibn Abdullah·Mu'jam al-Awsat 5937 (hasan according to al-Albani)
Reflection

A measure that cuts through ranks. Not the most learned, not the most pious in private, not the most known. The one whose hand others actually use.

One saying of the Prophet ﷺ a day.

Pair this with the daily verse, the 99 Names, and a few beads of dhikr. Small things, repeated, leave the deepest mark.
