"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)  

الكبرى للنسائي:٤٢٩٨أَخْبَرَنَا كَثِيرُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ عَنِ الزُّبَيْدِيِّ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ

أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَيُّ النَّاسِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ «مُؤْمِنٌ يُجَاهِدُ بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ» قَالَ ثُمَّ مَنْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ «ثُمَّ مُؤْمِنٌ فِي شُعَبٍ مِنَ الشِّعَابِ يَتَّقِي اللهَ وَيَدَعُ النَّاسَ مِنْ شَرِّهِ»
