The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came out to them when they were sitting in a gathering of theirs and said: "Shall I not tell you of the best of people?" They said: Yes, O Messenger of Allah. He said: "A man who holds on to the head of his horse (in jihad) for the sake of Allah until he dies or is killed. Shall I not tell you of the one who comes next?” We said: Yes. He said: "A man who withdraws into a mountain pass, establishing regular prayer and paying zakah, keeping away from People's evil. And shall I not tell you of the worst of people in status?” They said: Yes. He said: "The one who is asked for the sake of Allah and does not give."
