Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 20503 — What is mentioned on the virtue

Ibn al-Ahmas (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I said to Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him): "A saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) narrated by you has reached me." He said: "Tell it; I do not think that I have ever attributed anything false to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)." I said: "You have narrated that there are three men whom Allah Almighty loves." He said: "I heard it and I narrated it: Of the three men whom Allah Almighty loves, one is a man who fights against a group, and when that group begins to prevail he still fights them until he is martyred or Allah Almighty grants victory through him. The second is a man who travels by night with people; when they all lie down exhausted, he stands and prays, and then wakes the people to move on. The third is a man who has a bad neighbour and he bears his harm with patience."
