ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ الِاعْتِزَالَ لِمَنْ تَفَرَّدَ بِغَنَمِهِ مَعَ عِبَادَةِ اللَّهِ إِنَّمَا يَسْتَحِقُّ الثَّوَابَ الَّذِي ذَكَرْنَاهُ إِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ يُؤْذِي النَّاسَ بِلِسَانِهِ وَيَدِهِ
“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»
