English Translation
It was narrated from Abu Hurayra (رضي الله عنه) — via 'Abdullah ibn Numayr, from Muhammad ibn 'Amr, from Abu Salama — that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'People are [like] veins of ore [ma'adin]. Those who were best among them in Jahiliyya are best among them in Islam — when they acquire understanding [fiqh].'
