[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ mentioned a tribulation and said, "The best of you in it and the best of people in it is a man who isolates himself in his wealth, worships Allah, and gives his due, and a man who takes hold of the bridle of his horse, frightening the enemy and being feared by them."

الطبراني:٢١٩٢٣ – حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ التُّسْتَرِيُّ ثنا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ لَيْثٍ عَنْ طَاوُسٍ عَنْ أُمِّ مَالِكٍ الْبَهْزِيَّةِ قَالَتْ

ذَكَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِتْنَةً فَقَالَ «خَيْرُكُمْ فِيهَا وَخَيْرُ النَّاسِ فِيهَا رَجُلٌ مُعْتَزِلٌ فِي مَالِهِ يَعْبُدُ اللهَ وَيُعْطِي حَقَّهُ وَرَجُلٌ أَخَذَ بِرَأْسِ فَرَسِهِ يُخِيفُ الْعَدُوَّ وَيُخِيفُونَهُ»
