[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Shall I not inform you about the best of people, a man?" They said, "Yes." So he pointed with his hand towards the east and said, "A man who leads his horse in the cause of Allah, waiting to be martyred or have envy for him." He then said, "Shall I not inform you about someone who is the best of people after him?" They said, "Yes." So he pointed with his hand towards the Hijaz and said, "A man in his flock, who establishes prayer, gives charity, and knows the rights of Allah in his wealth, and he has distanced himself from the people."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بَخَيْرِ النَّاسِ رَجُلًا؟» قَالُوا بَلَى فَأَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ نَحْوَ الْمَشْرِقِ فَقَالَ «رَجُلٌ آخِذٌ بِعَنَانِ فَرَسِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ يَنْتَظِرُ أَنْ يُغِيرَ أَوْ يُغَارَ عَلَيْهِ أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِخَيْرِ النَّاسِ بَعْدَهُ رَجُلًا؟» قَالُوا بَلَى فَأَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ نَحْوَ الْحِجَازِ فَقَالَ «رَجٌلٌ فِي غَنَمِهِ يُقِيمُ الصَّلَاةَ وَيُؤْتِي الزَّكَاةَ يَعْلَمُ مَا حَقُّ اللهِ فِي مَالِهِ قَدِ اعْتَزَلَ النَّاسَ»
