'Amr ibn Shu'ayb reported from his grandfather that the Prophet,may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Shall I tell you aboutwho among you I love the most and the one who will be seated closest tome on the Day of Rising?" The people were silent, so he repeated that twoor three times. Then the people said, "Yes, Messenger of Allah." He said,"The one among you with the best character."
