Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: "Shall I not tell you about the best among you?" The people said: Yes, O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "The best among you are those whose lives are long and whose deeds are good."
