Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي قَالَ سَمِعْتُ النُّعْمَانَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَسُئِلَ أَيُّ النَّاسِ خَيْرٌ فَقَالَ مُؤْمِنٌ مُجَاهِدٌ بِمَالِهِ وَنَفْسِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ قَالَ ثُمَّ مَنْ قَالَ مُؤْمِنٌ فِي شِعْبٍ مِنْ الشِّعَابِ يَتَّقِي اللَّهَ وَيَدَعُ النَّاسَ مِنْ شَرِّهِ.
English Translation
Wahb ibn Jarir told us, my father told us, he said: I heard al-Nu'man narrating from al-Zuhri, from Ata' ibn Yazid, from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, was asked, "Which of the people is best?" He said: "A believer who strives with his wealth and his person in the way of Allah." He was asked: "Then who?" He said: "A believer in one of the mountain passes who fears Allah and spares people his harm."
