1. My father رحمه الله said: it was narrated to us by Sa’d b. Abdillah from Ahmad b. Abi Abdillah al-Barqi who said it was narrated to me by al-Hussain b. Yazid al-Nawfali from al-Sakuni from Abi Abdillah who said: Imam Ja’far Sadiq عليه السلام says that the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم was asked, “Who is the best of men?” The Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم replied, “One who comes and goes.” He was again asked, “What is meant by one who comes and goes?” He replied, “One who starts and ends. One who starts reciting the Holy Quran and ends it. There is no one nearer to Allah than him and his supplications are accepted.”
