The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Shall I tell you who has the best station among people?"We said, "Yes, Messenger of Allah."He said, "A man holding the reins of his horse in the path of Allah until he dies or is killed. Shall I tell you who comes next?"We said, "Yes, Messenger of Allah."He said, "A man secluded in a mountain pass who establishes the prayer, gives the zakat, and keeps away from the evils of people. And shall I tell you who is the worst of people?"We said, "Yes, Messenger of Allah."He said, "The one who is asked in the name of Allah
but does not give."
أخبرنا محمد بن رافع قال حدثنا ابن أبي فديك قال أنبأنا ابن أبي ذئب عن سعيد بن خالد القارظي عن إسمعيل بن عبد الرحمن عن عطاء بن يسار
أن رسول الله ﷺ قال ألا أخبركم بخير الناس منزلا قلنا بلى يا رسول الله قال رجل آخذ برأس فرسه في سبيل الله عز وجل حتى يموت أو يقتل وأخبركم بالذي يليه قلنا نعم يا رسول الله قال رجل معتزل في شعب يقيم الصلاة ويؤتي الزكاة ويعتزل شرور الناس وأخبركم بشر الناس قلنا نعم يا رسول الله قال الذي يسأل بالله عز وجل ولا يعطي به
