It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and asked, "Which person is the best?" The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) replied, "The one who strives in the way of Allah with his wealth and his life." He asked, "Then who?" The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) replied, "A believer who worships Allah in a mountain pass and keeps people safe from his harm."
