BEST LIFE

605

“The best life is that of a person who catches hold of the reins of his horse and flies on its back for the Sake of Allah. He races fast to the place where he knows there is danger or has heard the sound of the enemy, seeking death or martyrdom whenever he is engaged in Jihad. Or else it is the person who retreats to the top of a mountain or lives in a valley offering his daily prayers, paying the obligatory charity and does not interfere in the affairs of people except for good.”

Muslim with a chain up to Abu Hurairah who related that the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
