وَقَالَ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عُتْبَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ؓ قَالَ:
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ - لِأَصْحَابِهِ: أَيُّ النَّاسِ خَيْرٌ ؟ قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، رَجُلٌ يُعْطِي مَالَهُ وَنَفْسَهُ، قَالَ ﷺ: نِعْمَ الرَّجُلُ هَذَا، وَلَيْسَ بِهِ، وَلَكِنَّ أَفْضَلَ النَّاسِ رَجُلٌ يُعْطِي جُهْدَهُ

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to his companions: 'Which of people is the best?' They said: 'O Messenger of Allah, a man who gives his wealth and his life.' He ﷺ said: 'What a good man this is, but it is not him. Rather, the best of people is a man who gives his utmost effort.'
