368.Abu Huraira said, The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "People are like mines of silver and gold; the more excellent of them in the days of Ignorance are the more excellent of them in Islam when they attain knowledge 30)
(Muslim, Mishkat).
(A Manual of Hadith by. Maulana Muhammad Ali).




30)
The superiority of race over race and family over family is recognised -people are mines like mines of gold and silver- among Muslims as well as non Muslims, but it is added that this superiority is maintained through attainment of knowledge. If persons belonging to a superior race discard knowledge, they lose their superiority. Racial or family superiority is thus subject to the acquisition of knowledge.
