Riyad as-Salihin 1289 (Book 11, Hadith 5) #37778
Striving for Allah's Cause

SUMMARY: A believer who strives in the way of Allah with his wealth and life is the best among men, and next to him is a man who worships Allah in a mountain valley.

Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: A man came to the Messenger of Allah and said, "Who is the best among men?" He replied, "A believer who strives in the way of Allah with his wealth and life". The man asked again, "Who is next to him (in excellence)?" He said, "Next to him is a man who is engaged in worshipping his Rabb in a mountain valley, leaving the people secure from his mischief". Al-Bukhari and Muslim.

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about striving for Allah's cause, which is one of the most important values that Muslims should strive to uphold. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught that the best among men are those who strive in the way of Allah with their wealth and life. This means that they use their resources to help others, spread knowledge, and do good deeds. Additionally, he said that next to them are those who worship their Lord in a mountain valley away from people; this teaches us about how important it is to take time out for ourselves so we can focus on our relationship with God without any distractions or interference from other people. We should strive to be like these two types of people by using our resources wisely and taking time out for prayer and reflection on God's greatness.
