Hadith 371

Muslim

وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال‏:‏ ‏"‏الناس معادن كمعادن الذهب والفضة، خيارهم في الجاهلية خيارهم في الإسلام إذا فقهوا، والأرواح جنود مجندة، فما تعارف منها ائتلف، وما تناكر منها اختلف‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه مسلم‏؟‏‎‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏ ‏(‏‏(‏وروى البخاري‏)‏‏)‏ قوله‏:‏ ‏"‏الأرواح‏"‏ من رواية عائشة رضي الله عنها‏

I heard Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saying, "People are like gold and silver; those who were best in Jahiliyyah (Pre-Islamic Period of Ignorance) are best in Islam, if they have religious understanding; and the souls are like recruited soldiers, they get mixed up with those similar with them in qualities and oppose and drift away from those who do not share their qualities". [Muslim].

— Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him)
