Syedna Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked which people are the best, he (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: The believer who strives in the way of Allah with his self and his wealth. He said: Then which person is superior? He (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: Then that person who worships his Lord in seclusion in a mountain pass and keeps people safe from his evil.
