Hadith 11:186
It was narrated to us by ‘Affan, from Sulayman ibn Kathir, who said: Ibn Shihab narrated to me, from ‘Ata’ ibn Yazid, from Abu Sa’id al-Khudri, who said: It was said, "O Messenger of Allah, which of the believers is best?" He said, "A believer who strives in the way of Allah with his self and his wealth, and a believer who isolates himself in a mountain pass—or he said, a ravine—sparing the people from his evil."
حدثنا عفان عن سليمان بن كثير حدثني بن شهاب عن عطاء بن يزيد عن أبي سعيد الخدري قال قيل يا رسول الله أي المؤمنين أفضل قال مؤمن مجاهد في سبيل الله بنفسه وماله ومؤمن اعتزل في شعب من الجبال أو قال شعبة كفى الناس شره
