3978. It was narrated from Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri that a man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: "Which of the people is best?" He said: "A man who strives in Jihād in the cause of Allāh with himself and his wealth." He said: "Then who?" He said: "A man in a mountain pass who worships Allāh and leaves the people from his evil." (Sahih)
3978 - هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَمْزَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الزَّبِيدِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي الزُّهْرِيُّ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ اللَّيْثِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: أَيُّ النَّاسِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ: «رَجُلٌ مُجَاهِدٌ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ بِنَفْسِهِ، وَمَالِهِ» ، قَالَ: ثُمَّ مَنْ؟ قَالَ: «ثُمَّ امْرُؤٌ فِي شِعْبٍ مِنَ الشِّعَابِ، يَعْبُدُ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، وَيَدَعُ النَّاسَ مِنْ شَرِّهِ»

The life of Jihād is the most excellent life. The aim of a Mujāhid is fighting so that Allāh's Word is uppermost. He does not long for positions, medals or popularity. Wishing for martyrdom and taking part in Jihād to get the death of a martyr is an excellent quality of Muslim. d. Prayers and fasting are the most important acts of worship; neglecting them in any case is not allowed.
