[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There is no one among the people like a man who takes hold of the reins of his horse and fights in the cause of Allah while restraining his evil from people. And there is no one like a man who is blessed with a bountiful favor and treats his guest properly and gives him his right."

الطبراني:١٢٩٢٤ – حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ثنا مُسَدَّدٌ ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدِ عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ شِهَابٍ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَا فِي النَّاسِ مِثْلُ رَجُلٍ أَخَذَ بِرَأْسِ فَرَسِهِ يُجَاهِدُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ وَيَحْبِسُ شَرَّهُ عَنِ النَّاسِ وَمِثْلُ رَجُلٍ بَادٍ فِي نِعْمَةٍ يُقْرِي بِضَيْفِهِ وَيُعْطِي حَقَّهُ»

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said on the day he addressed the people in Tabuk, "Among the people, there is no one like a man who holds onto the reins of his horse, striving in the cause of Allah ﷻ, while avoiding the evil of people. And there is no one like another who sits with his guests and fulfills their rights."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ خَطَبَ النَّاسَ بِتَبُوكَ مَا فِي النَّاسِ مِثْلُ رَجُلٍ آخِذٍ بِرَأْسِ فَرَسِهِ يُجَاهِدُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ ﷻ وَيَجْتَنِبُ شُرُورَ النَّاسِ وَمِثْلُ آخَرَ بَادٍ فِي نِعْمَةٍ يَقْرِي ضَيْفَهُ وَيُعْطِي حَقَّهُ
