The Wisest and the Most Resolute among the People

Abdullah ibnu Umar Radhiyallahu anhuma narrates that I came to Nabi s.a.w , being the tenth one of the ten Sahabah.  A man of  the Ansar (Medina) stood up and said :  "O Nabi Allah!  Who is the wisest and the most resolute amongst the people?" He replied : "He who remembers death the most, and prepares most diligently for death before it overtakes him.  Undoubted, they are the wisest.  They have acquired the nobility of this world and the dignity of the Hereafter.

(Ibnu-Majah,  Tabarani,  Majma-'uz Zawaid)
