أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حِبَّانُ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ الْقَارِظِيِّ ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي ذُؤَيْبٍ ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ : أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَرَجَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَهُمْ جُلُوسٌ فِي مَجْلِسٍ ، فقَالَ : " أَلا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِخَيْرِ النَّاسِ مَنْزِلا " ؟ فَقُلْنَا : بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : " رَجُلٌ آخِذٌ بِرَأْسِ فَرَسِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ حَتَّى عُقِرَتْ أَوْ يُقْتَلَ ، أَفَأُخْبِرُكُمْ بِالَّذِي يَلِيهِ " ؟ قُلْنَا : بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : " امْرُؤٌ مُعْتَزِلٌ فِي شِعْبٍ يُقِيمُ الصَّلاةَ ، وَيُؤْتِي الزَّكَاةَ ، وَيَعْتَزِلُ شُرُورَ النَّاسِ ، أَفَأُخْبِرُكُمْ بِشَرِّ النَّاسِ " ؟ قُلْنَا : نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : " الَّذِي يُسْأَلُ بِاللَّهِ وَلا يُعْطِي بِهِ " .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: Once the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) came to the companions (may Allah be pleased with them) while they were sitting in a gathering. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Shall I not tell you about the person who is the best in rank and status among you? We said: Yes, O Messenger of Allah! The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: He is the person who holds the reins of his horse in the way of Allah (for jihad), until the legs of his (horse) are cut off or he is killed. Shall I not tell you about the person who is next to him? We said: Yes, O Messenger of Allah! The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: He is the person who lives alone in a mountain pass, establishes prayer, gives zakat, and keeps himself away from the evil of people. Shall I not tell you about the worst person? We said: Yes, O Messenger of Allah! The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: He is the person from whom something is asked in the name of Allah, and he does not give.
