Anas reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Who in creation has the most astonishing faith?” They said, “The angels.” The Prophet said, “But how could the angels not believe?” They said, “The prophets.” The Prophet said, “But the prophets were given divine revelation, so how could they not believe?” They said, “Their companions.” The Prophet said, “The companions were with their prophets, so how could they not believe? Rather, the people with the most astonishing faith are those who come after you and they find a book of divine revelation, thus they believe in it and follow it. They are the people with the most astonishing faith.”

عَن أَنَسٍ قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيه وَسَلَّم أَيُّ الْخَلْقِ أَعْجَبُ إِيمَانًا قَالُوا الْمَلائِكَةُ قَالَ الْمَلائِكَةُ كَيْفَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّونَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّونَ يُوحَى إِلَيْهِمْ فَكَيْفَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ قَالُوا الصَّحَابَةُ قَالَ الصَّحَابَةُ يَكُونُونَ مَعَ الأَنْبِيَاءِ فَكَيْفَ لا يُؤْمِنُونَ وَلكن أَعْجَبَ النَّاسِ إِيمَانًا قَوْمٌ يجيؤون مِنْ بَعْدِكُمْ فَيَجِدُونَ كِتَابًا مِنَ الْوَحْيِ فَيُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِ وَيَتَّبِعُونَهُ فَهُمْ أَعْجَبُ النَّاسِ
