A Gem of an Athar
Translated by: Abul Hasan Maalik and Abu 'Abdillaah Hassan as-SomaliYusef ibn Rayhaan said: My father told me: I heard Abu 'Abdillaah Muhammad ibn Isma'eel (Bukhaaree) say: "The best of the Muslims is a man who revives a Sunnah from the Sunnah of the Messenger (صلى الله عليه وسلم) that had died. So be patient oh people of the Sunnan, may Allaah have mercy on you, for indeed you are the minority among the people."
