Hadith 9523
اُردوEn
عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيُّ النَّاسِ أَفْضَلُ قَالَ مُؤْمِنٌ مُجَاهِدٌ بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ قَالَ ثُمَّ مَنْ قَالَ ثُمَّ رَجُلٌ مُعْتَزِلٌ فِي شِعْبٍ مِنَ الشِّعَابِ يَعْبُدُ رَبَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَيَدَعُ النَّاسَ مِنْ شَرِّهِ
Syedna Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that a man said: O Messenger of Allah! Which people are the best? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The believer who strives in the way of Allah with his self and his wealth. He said: Then which person is the best? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Then the person who worships his Lord in seclusion in a mountain pass and keeps people safe from his evil.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Keeping oneself isolated from people is not a permanent law in Islam; rather, when a Muslim no longer has the ability to confront the evil that has become widespread in society, then seclusion is prescribed in order to safeguard oneself from that evil.
