وَعَن أم مَالك البهزية قَالَتْ: ذَكَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِتْنَةً فَقَرَّبَهَا. قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَنْ خَيْرُ النَّاسِ فِيهَا؟ قَالَ: «رَجُلٌ فِي مَاشِيَتِهِ يُؤَدِّي حَقَّهَا وَيَعْبُدُ رَبَّهُ وَرَجُلٌ أَخَذَ برأسٍ فرأسه يخيف الْعَدو ويخوفونه». رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيّ
Translation
Umm Malik al-Bahziya told that when God's messenger mentioned civil strife and its nearness she asked him who would be the best of the people during it and he replied, "A man with his cattle who pays the zakat due on them and worships his Lord, and a man who holds his horse's head and causes fear to the enemy while they are causing him fear." Tirmidhi transmitted it.
