Sahih Muslim 1889a

Yahya ibn Yahya al-Tamimi narrated to us; Abd al-Aziz ibn Abi Hazim narrated to us, from his father, from Bajah, from Abu Hurayrah, from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, who said: “Among the best ways people may live is that of a man holding the reins of his horse in the path of Allah. He rides swiftly, and whenever he hears a cry or alarm, he mounts and hastens toward it, seeking to meet death where it may be found. Or that of a man with a small flock on the summit of one of these hills or in the bed of one of these valleys, establishing prayer, giving zakat, and worshipping his Lord until certainty comes to him. He is among people only for good. There are no better people than these.”
