The best among you are those who are best to their families.

الحديث «خياركم خيركم لأهله، وأنا خيركم لأهلي» يُروى عن النبي ﷺ، ومعناه أن خير الناس وأفضلهم هو من يحسن معاملة أهله وزوجه وأسرته، لأن حسن الخلق يظهر على حقيقته في البيت.
وأقرب المقابلات في الثقافة الإنجليزية ليست أمثالًا متطابقة، ولكن منها: Charity begins at home.
«الخير يبدأ من البيت.»
وهو أشهر مثل إنجليزي قريب في المعنى، أي أن الفضيلة والإحسان ينبغي أن يبدآ مع الأسرة.
A man's true character is shown by how he treats his family.
«تظهر حقيقة المرء في طريقة معاملته لأسرته.»
وهو تعبير حديث قريب جدًا من معنى الحديث.
Home is where kindness should begin.
«البيت هو المكان الذي ينبغي أن يبدأ فيه اللطف.»
وأقرب مقابل من حيث الحكمة العامة هو:
Charity begins at home.
لكن من حيث المعنى الدقيق للحديث، فالتعبير الإنجليزي الأقرب هو:
A person's true character is revealed by how they treat their family.
لأنه يؤكد، كما يؤكد الحديث، أن معيار الخيرية والخلق الحسن يظهر أولًا في معاملة الإنسان لأهله.

The hadith, “The best of you are those who are best to their families, and I am the best of you to my family,” is narrated from the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Its meaning is that the best and most virtuous of people are those who treat their families, spouses, and relatives well, because good character is truly revealed at home.
The closest equivalents in English culture are not exact proverbs, but include:
“Charity begins at home.”
“Goodness begins at home.”
This is a well-known English proverb with a similar meaning, indicating that virtue and kindness should begin with the family.
“A man's true character is shown by how he treats his family.”
This is a modern expression very close in meaning to the hadith.
“Home is where kindness should begin.”
The closest equivalent in terms of general wisdom is:
“Charity begins at home.”
But in terms of the precise meaning of the hadith, the closest English expression is:
A person's true character is revealed by how they treat their family.
Because it confirms, as the hadith does, that the standard of goodness and noble character is first demonstrated in how a person treats their family.
