Syedna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Shall I not tell you about the best of creation? The companions said: Why not, O Messenger of Allah! He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: He is the man who holds the reins of his horse in the way of Allah; whenever a frightening sound comes from somewhere, he mounts it and gets ready. Now, shall I not tell you about the man whose rank is a little less than this? They said: Why not. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: He is the man who is among a flock of his goats, performs prayer, and gives zakat. Now, shall I not tell you about the worst man? They said: Yes, why not. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: He is the person who is asked in the name of Allah, but still does not give.
