حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنٌ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ عَنْ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي ذُؤَيْبٍ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَرَجَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَهُمْ جُلُوسٌ فَقَالَ أَلَا أُحَدِّثُكُمْ بِخَيْرِ النَّاسِ مَنْزِلَةً فَذَكَرَهُ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 2930
It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas (RA) said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) came or came out to them when they were sitting and said: "Shall I not tell you of the best of people in status?" We said: Yes, O Messenger of Allah. He said: "A man w'ho holds on to the head of a horse (in jihad) for the sake of Allah until he dies or is killed." Then he said: "Shall I not tell you of the one who comes next to him (in status)?" We said: Yes, O Messenger of Allah, He said: "A man who isolates himself in a mountain pass, establishing prayer, paying zakah and avoiding people's evil." Then he said: "Shall I not tell you of the worst of people in status?" We said: Yes, O Messenger of Allah. He said: "The one who is asked for the sake of Allah and does not give."
