Abu Sa’id (Al Khudri) reported The Prophet ﷺ was asked “Which believers are most perfect in respect of faith? He replied “A man who strives in the path of Allaah with his life and property and a man who worships Allaah in a mountain valley where he protects the people from his evil.””  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ أَىُّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَكْمَلُ إِيمَانًا قَالَ رَجُلٌ يُجَاهِدُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ وَرَجُلٌ يَعْبُدُ اللَّهَ فِي شِعْبٍ مِنَ الشِّعَابِ قَدْ كُفِيَ النَّاسُ شَرَّهُ  

A man asked: Messenger of Allah, which of men is the best? He said: A believer who fights staking his life and spending his wealth in the way of Allah. He asked: Who is next to him (in excellence)? He said: Next to him is a man who lives an isolated life in a mountain gorge, worshipping his Lord and sparing men from his mischief. (Using translation from Muslim 1888b)   

أَنَّهُ قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَيُّ النَّاسِ أَفْضَلُ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مُؤْمِنٌ يُجَاهِدُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ فَقَالُوا ثُمَّ مَنْ؟ قَالَ مُؤْمِنٌ فِي شِعْبٍ مِنَ الشِّعَابِ يَتَّقِي اللهَ وَيَدَعُ النَّاسَ مِنْ شَرِّهِ  

“Which of the people is best?” He said: “A man who strives in Jihad in the cause of Allah with himself and his wealth.” He said: “Then who?” He said: “A man in a mountain pass who worships Allah and leaves the people from his evil.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3978)   

أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيُّ الأَعْمَالِ* أَفْضَلُ؟ فقَالَ «رَجُلٌ جَاهَدَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ بِمَالِهِ وَنَفْسِهِ» قَالَ ثُمَّ مَنْ؟ قَالَ «مُؤْمِنٌ فِي شِعْبٍ * الشِّعَابِ يَعْبُدُ اللَّهَ وَيَدَعُ النَّاسَ مِنْ شَرِّهِ»  

“Which of the people is best?” He said: “A man who strives in Jihad in the cause of Allah with himself and his wealth.” He said: “Then who?” He said: “A man in a mountain pass who worships Allah and leaves the people from his evil.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3978)

"أكملُ المؤمنين إيمانًا رجُلٌ يجاهدُ في سبيلِ الله بنفسِه ومالهِ، ورجُل يعبدُ الله في شِعْبٍ من الشَّعابِ قد كفَى الناسَ شَرَّهُ".
