Riyad as-Salihin: Book 18, Hadith 32

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) said in the interpretation of the Ayah reported: “You are the best of peoples ever raised up for (the benefit of) mankind…” (3:110): The best for mankind are those who bring them with chains round their necks till they embrace Islam (and thereby save them from the eternal punishment in the Hell-fire, and make them enter Jannah in the Hereafter).”.

وعنه رضي الله عنه ‏:‏ ‏{‏كنتم خير أمة أخرجت للناس‏}‏ قال‏:‏ خير الناس للناس يأتون بهم في السلاسل في أعناقهم حتى يدخلوا في الإسلام‏.‏
أخرجه: البخاري.
