Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ قَالَ وَحَدَّثَنِي عَطَاءُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ أَنَّهُ حَدَّثَهُ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيُّ أَنَّهُ قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيُّ النَّاسِ أَفْضَلُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُؤْمِنٌ يُجَاهِدُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ فَقَالُوا ثُمَّ مَنْ قَالَ مُؤْمِنٌ فِي شِعْبٍ مِنْ الشِّعَابِ يَتَّقِي اللَّهَ وَيَدَعُ النَّاسَ مِنْ شَرِّهِ.
English Translation
Abu al-Yaman told us, Shu'ayb informed us, from al-Zuhri, who said: Ata' ibn Yazid told me that Abu Sa'id al-Khudri told him that it was said: "O Messenger of Allah, which people are best?" The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "A believer who strives in the path of Allah with his life and his wealth." They said: "Then who?" He said: "A believer in one of the mountain passes who fears Allah and spares the people his harm."
