Mukhtasar Bukhari (Abridged) 1205 — The best believer is one

Narrated Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him): It was asked, "O Messenger of Allah! Who is the best among all people?" The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) replied: "A believer who strives in the way of Allah with his life and his wealth." The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) asked, "Who after him?" He (peace be upon him) said: "A believer who lives in a mountain pass, worshipping Allah and keeping people safe from his harm."
