Sunan an-Nasai 3105 (Book 25, Hadith 21) #17717
Striving for Goodness

SUMMARY: Striving to do good deeds and avoiding evil is the best way to be a good person.

It was narrated from Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri that a man came to the Messenger of Allah and said: "O Messenger of Allah! Which of the people is best?" He said: "One who strives with himself and his wealth in the cause of Allah". He said: "Then who, O Messenger of Allah?" He said: "Then a believer (isolating himself) in one of the mountain passes, who fears Allah and spares the people his evil".
أَخْبَرَنَا كَثِيرُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ، عَنِ الزُّبَيْدِيِّ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً، أَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَىُّ النَّاسِ أَفْضَلُ قَالَ ‏"‏ مَنْ جَاهَدَ بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ ثُمَّ مَنْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏"‏ ثُمَّ مُؤْمِنٌ فِي شِعْبٍ مِنَ الشِّعَابِ يَتَّقِي اللَّهَ وَيَدَعُ النَّاسَ مِنْ شَرِّهِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about striving for goodness and avoiding evil in order to be a better person. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was asked who the best people are, and he replied that it is those who strive with themselves and their wealth in the cause of God. He then went on to explain that even someone who isolates himself in one of the mountain passes, fearing God and sparing people from his evil, is also considered a believer. This hadith teaches us that we should strive for goodness by doing good deeds such as helping others, being kind, being generous with our wealth, etc., while also avoiding any kind of wrongdoing or harm towards others. It emphasizes that fear of God should be at the forefront when making decisions so as not to cause any harm or hurt anyone else's feelings or rights.
