3304 - the best of them in the pre-Islamic era are the best of them in Islam خيارهم في الجاهلية خيارهم في الإسلام

3304 – حدثني إسحاق بن إبراهيم: أخبرنا جرير، عن عمارة، عن أبي زرعة، عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه، عن رسول الله ﷺ قال: (تجدون الناس معادن، خيارهم في الجاهلية خيارهم في الإسلام إذا فقهوا، وتجدون خير الناس في هذا الشأن أشد له كراهية، وتجدون شر الناس ذا الوجهين، الذي يأتي هؤلاء بوجه، ويأتي هؤلاء بوجه).

3304 - Ishaq bin Ibrahim told me: Jarir told us, on the authority of Amara, on the authority of Abu Zur’ah, on the authority of Abu Hurairah, may God be pleased with him, on the authority of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, who said: (You will find people of different types, the best of them in the pre-Islamic era are the best of them in Islam if they excel in jurspendence. You will find the best of people in this regard to be the most hateful to him, and you will find the worst of people to be the two-faced, who comes to these people with one face and comes to those people with another face.)
