Sahih Muslim 1671d (Book 28, Hadith 15) #11467
The Benefit of Good People in Society

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the importance of having good people in society and how they can bring benefit to the community.

Abu Qilaba reported: I was sitting behind 'Umar b. 'Abd al-'Aziz and he said to the people: What do you say about al-Qasama? Thereupon 'Anbasa said: Anas b Malik narrated to us such and such . I said: This is what Anas had narrated to me: People came to Allah's Apostle , and the rest of the hadith is the same. When I (Abu Qilaba) finished , 'Anbasa said: Hallowed be Allah. I said: Do you blame me (for telling a lie)? He ('Anbasa) said: #This is how Anas b Malik narrated to us. O people of Syria, you would not be deprived of good, so long as such (a person) or one like him lives amongst you.

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks to the importance of having good people in society. It highlights that when there are good people living among us, we will not be deprived of goodness and benefit from their presence. Umar b 'Abd al-'Aziz was asking his companions what they thought about al-Qasama when 'Anbasa mentioned a hadith narrated by Anas b Malik which spoke to this point. Abu Qilaba then confirmed this narration and 'Anbasa praised Allah for it. This shows that even though we may not always understand why something is happening or why certain people are around us, it is important to remember that Allah knows best and He has placed these individuals here for a reason - so that we can benefit from them. We should therefore strive to be like these individuals ourselves so that we too can bring benefit to our communities.
