حديث عبد الله بن بسر المازني
Hadith 534:9
'Ali ibn 'Ayyash narrated to us, Hassan ibn Nuh narrated to us, from 'Amr ibn Qays, from 'Abdullah ibn Busr, who said: Two Bedouins came to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. One of them said: "Who is the best of men, O Muhammad?" The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said: "He whose life is long and whose deeds are good." The other said: "The laws of Islam have become many for us, so is there a door we can hold fast to that is comprehensive?" He said: "Let your tongue remain moist with the remembrance of Allah."
حدثنا علي بن عياش، حدثنا حسان بن نوح، عن عمرو بن قيس، عن عبد الله بن بسر، قال: أتى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أعرابيان، فقال أحدهما: من خير الرجال يا محمد؟ قال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم: " من طال عمره، وحسن عمله "، وقال الآخر: إن شرائع الإسلام قد كثرت علينا، فباب نتمسك به جامع؟ قال: " لا يزال لسانك رطبا من ذكر الله "
