"O Messenger of Allah! Which of the people is best?" He said: "One who strives with himself and his wealth in the cause of Allah." He said: "Then who, O Messenger of Allah?" He said: "Then a believer (isolating himself) in one of the mountain passes, who fears Allah and spares the people his evil." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3105)   

أَنَّ بَعْضَ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَيُّ النَّاسِ أَفْضَلُ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مُؤْمِنٌ مُجَاهِدٌ بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ قَالُوا ثُمَّ مَنْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ ثُمَّ مُؤْمِنٌ فِي شِعْبٍ مِنَ الشِّعَابِ يَتَّقِي اللهَ وَيَدَعُ النَّاسَمِنْ شَرِّهِ
