حَدَّثَنَا مَنْصُورُ بْنُ أَبِي مُزَاحِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَمْزَةَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ الزُّبَيْدِيِّ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ اللَّيْثِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: أَيُّ النَّاسِ أَفْضَلُ؟ فَقَالَ: «رَجُلٌ يُجَاهِدُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ بِمَالِهِ وَنَفْسِهِ»، قَالَ: ثُمَّ مَنْ؟ قَالَ: «مُؤْمِنٌ فِي شِعْبٍ مِنَ الشِّعَابِ يَعْبُدُ اللهَ رَبَّهُ، وَيَدَعُ النَّاسَ مِنْ شَرِّهِ».

A man came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said: Who is the best of men? He replied: A man who fights in the way of Allah spending his wealth and staking his life. The man then asked: Who is next to him (in excellence)? He said: Next to him is a believer who lives in a mountain gorge worshipping hid Lord and sparing men from his mischief.

It has been narrated on the authority of Abu Sa'id Khudri رضی اللہ عنہ
