Mukhayriq is the foremost

Ibn Shihab reported: Mukhayriq the Jew gave his wealth as an endowment to the Prophet, peace be upon him, and on the day of Uhud he was martyred and killed during the battle. The Messenger of Allah said, “Mukhayriq is the foremost among the Jews; Salman is the foremost among the Persians; and Bilal is the foremost among the Abyssinians.”

[Ibn Shabbah, Ta’reekh Al-Madinah 467]

In another narration, the Prophet said, “Mukhayriq was the best of the Jews.”

[Ibn Sa’d, Tabaqat Al-Kubra 1535]

ابْنِ شِهَابٍ قال وَأَوْصَى مُخَيْرِيقُ بِأَمْوَالِهِ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَشَهِدَ أُحُدًا فَقُتِلَ بِهِ فقال رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُخَيْرِيقُ سَابِقُ يَهُودَ وَسَلْمَانُ سَابِقُ فَارِسَ وَبِلالٌ سَابِقُ الْحَبَشَةِ
