أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ عَنْ بَعْجَةَ بْنِ بَدْرٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «خَيْرُ مَا عَاشَ النَّاسُ لَهُ رَجُلٌ مُمْسِكٌ بِعِنَانِ فَرَسِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ كُلَّمَا سَمِعَ هَيْعَةً أَوْ فَزْعَةً طَارَ عَلَى مَتْنِ فَرَسِهِ فَالْتَمَسَ الْمَوْتَ وَالْقَتْلَ فِي مَظَانِّهِ أَوْ رَجُلٌ مِنْ شُعْبَةٍ فِي هَذِهِ الشِّعَابِ أَوْ فِي بَطْنِ وَادٍ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأَوْدِيَةِ فِي غَنِيمَةٍ لَهُ يُقِيمُ الصَّلَاةَ وَيُؤْتِي الزَّكَاةَ وَيَعْبُدُ اللهَ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَهُ الْيَقِينُ لَيْسَ مِنَ النَّاسِ إِلَّا فِي خَيْرٍ»

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "The best that people live for is a man holding the reins of his horse in the way of Allah. Whenever he hears a war cry or an alarm, he flies onto the back of his horse, seeking death and slaughter where it is expected, or a man in a small flock in one of these mountain passes or in the bottom of one of these valleys, who establishes prayer, gives zakat, and worships Allah until certainty comes to him. He is not with the people except in goodness."
