وَمَنْ أَحْسَنُ قَوْلًا مِّمَّن دَعَآ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ وَعَمِلَ صَـٰلِحًا وَقَالَ إِنَّنِى مِنَ ٱلْمُسْلِمِينَ
Waman a h sanu qawlan mimman daAA a il a All a hi waAAamila sa li h an waq a la innanee mina almuslimeen a
And who could be better of speech than he who calls [his fellow-men] unto God, and does what is just and right, and says, "Verily, I am of those who have surrendered themselves to God"?
  - Mohammad Asad
Who is better in speech than the one who calls people towards Allah, does good deeds and says: "I am a Muslim?"
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
And whose words are better than someone who calls 'others' to Allah, does good, and says, 'I am truly one of those who submit.'?1
  - Mustafa Khattab

 lit., Muslims.

And who is better in speech than him who prayeth unto his Lord and doeth right, and saith: Lo! I am of those who surrender (unto Him).
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
Who is better in speech than one who calls (men) to Allah works righteousness and says "I am of those who bow in Islam"? 4503
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Better in speech: i.e., speaks better counsel; or is more worthy of being listened to. That his word reaches the highest mark of human speech is evidenced by three facts: (1) that he calls all to the Truth of Allah, showing that his thoughts are not centred on himself; (2) every deed of his is righteousness, showing that there is no divergence between his preaching and his conduct; and (3) he completely associates himself with the Will of Allah, showing that he is the full embodiment of Islam. What a fine description of the holy Prophet!
