Question

Are these words found in Hadith?

فإن خير الحديث كتاب الله وخير الهدى هدى محمد

Answer

Yes. Imam Muslim (rahimahullah) has recorded these words on the authority of Sayyiduna Jabir (radiyallahu ‘anhu). Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) would say this in his khutbah.

(Sahih Muslim, Hadith: 867)

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
