وَقَالَ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ رَجُلٍ، عَنْ عُمَرَ ؓ قَالَ:
كُنْتُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَعِنْدَهُ فَيْضٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ، فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَيُّ النَّاسِ خَيْرٌ مَنْزِلَةً عِنْدَ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ بَعْدَ أَنْبِيَائِهِ وَأَصْفِيَائِهِ ؟ فَقَالَ ﷺ: الْمُجَاهِدُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ تَعَالَى بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ حَتَّى تَأْتِيَهُ دَعْوَةُ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَهُوَ عَلَى مَتْنِ فَرَسِهِ آخِذًا بِعِنَانِهِ. قَالَ: ثُمَّ مَنْ ؟ قَالَ ﷺ: امْرُؤٌ بِنَاحِيَةٍ أَحْسَنَ عِبَادَةَ رَبِّهِ، وَتَرَكَ النَّاسَ مِنْ شَرِّهِ

✧ I was with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he had a crowd of people with him. A man came and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, which of the people is best in station with Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, on the Day of Resurrection after His prophets and His chosen ones?' He ﷺ said: 'The one who strives in the path of Allah, the Exalted, with his soul and his wealth until the call of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, comes to him while he is on the back of his horse, holding its reins.' He said: 'Then who?' He ﷺ said: 'A man in a remote area who worships his Lord well and leaves the people safe from his evil.'
