يقولون من خير قول الناس

English - America
Assalamu alaikum,

Here is hadeeth from Sunan ibn Majah:

يخرُجُ في آخرِ الزَّمانِ قومٌ أحداثُ الأسنانِ سُفَهاءُ الأحلامِ يقولونَ مِن خيرِ قَولِ النَّاسِ يقرءونَ القرآنَ لا يجاوزُ تراقيَهُم يمرُقونَ منَ الإسلامِ كما يَمرُقُ السَّهمُ منَ الرَّميَّةِ فمَن لقيَهُم فليقتُلهم فإنَّ قتلَهُم أجرٌ عندَ اللَّهِ لمن قتلَهُم

What is the signification of يقولون من خير قول الناس? They will say from the best of people's saying?

Thank you
 
  • "They will talk the best possible words" or "they will talk in the best possible way" or something along the lines, literal translation doesn't sound nice, but the context is clear, they will talk good but will be outside the fold of Islam.
     
    The hadith refers to the Kharijites, who were known to be very pious and made a point of referring to the Qur'an.
     
    What does مِنْ add to the meaning?

    يقولون خيرَ قول الناس
    يقولون من خيرِ قول الناس
