2485. It was reported from Abū Sa'eed that the Prophet ﷺ was asked: "Who among the believers are most perfect in Faith?" He said: "A man who fights (Jihād) in the cause of Allāh with himself and his wealth, and a man who worships Allāh in a pass among the mountain passes, who has protected the people from his evil." (Saḥih)
2485 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الزُّهْرِيُّ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ: أَيُّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَكْمَلُ إِيمَانًا؟ قَالَ: «رَجُلٌ يُجَاهِدُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ، وَرَجُلٌ يَعْبُدُ اللَّهَ فِي شِعْبٍ مِنَ الشِّعَابِ قَدْ كُفِيَ النَّاسُ شَرَّهُ»

This Hadith mentions two traits of Faith, which appear unrelated. The first listed is Jihad in the Cause of Allāh. The second is seclusion to protect people from one's evil. These are in reality related, because the one who flees to seclusion protects the people from his evil, by not lending his hand to sectarian strife and bloodshed which they claim is Jihād, demanding him to participate in.
