Narrated Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri: Somebody asked, "O Allah's Apostle! Who is the best among the people?" Allah's Apostle replied "A believer who strives his utmost in Allah's Cause with his life and property." They asked, "Who is next?" He replied, "A believer who stays in one of the mountain paths worshipping Allah and leaving the people secure from his mischief."
And Allah has said (in Surah As-Saff) «يا أيها الذين آمنوا هل أدلكم على تجارة تنجيكم من عذاب أليم * تؤمنون بالله ورسوله وتجاهدون في سبيل الله بأموالكم وأنفسكم ذلكم خير لكم إن كنتم تعلمون * يغفر لكم ذنوبكم ويدخلكم جنات تجري من تحتها الأنهار ومساكن طيبة في جنات عدن ذلك الفوز العظيم»: "O you who believe! Shall I guide you to a trade that will save you from a painful punishment? That you believe in Allah and His Messenger and strive in the cause of Allah with your wealth and your lives; that is better for you, if you only knew. If you do so, Allah will forgive you your sins and admit you to gardens beneath which rivers flow and to good dwellings in Gardens of Eternity. That is the great success."

Narrated Abu Huraira: I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "The example of a Mujahid in Allah's Cause-- and Allah knows better who really strives in His Cause----is like a person who fasts and prays continuously. Allah guarantees that He will admit the Mujahid in His Cause into Paradise if he is killed, otherwise He will return him to his home safely with rewards and war booty."
