Hadith 1839

Al-Bukhari

وعنه رضي الله عنه ‏:‏ ‏{‏كنتم خير أمة أخرجت للناس‏}‏ قال‏:‏ خير الناس للناس يأتون بهم في السلاسل في أعناقهم حتى يدخلوا في الإسلام‏.‏ أخرجه: البخاري.

"You are the best of peoples ever raised up for (the benefit of) mankind..." (3:110): The best for mankind are those who bring them with chains round their necks till they embrace Islam (and thereby save them from the eternal punishment in the Hell-fire, and make them enter Jannah in the Hereafter)." [Al-Bukhari].
