The best of my nation

Jabir ibn Abdullah reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “The best of my nation are those who seek Allah’s forgiveness when they commit a sin, who seek Allah’s glad tidings when they perform a good deed, and who shorten the prayer and break the fast when they travel.”
