Sunan Abi Dawud 2485 (Book 15, Hadith 9) #22776
Striving for Perfection in Faith

SUMMARY: The Prophet (PBUH) taught that the most perfect believers are those who strive in the path of Allah with their lives and property, and those who worship Allah in a place where they protect people from their evil.

Abu Sa’id (Al Khudri) reported The Prophet was asked "Which believers are most perfect in respect of faith? He replied "A man who strives in the path of Allaah with his life and property and a man who worships Allaah in a mountain valley where he protects the people from his evil"."
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الزُّهْرِيُّ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ أَىُّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَكْمَلُ إِيمَانًا قَالَ ‏ "‏ رَجُلٌ يُجَاهِدُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ وَرَجُلٌ يَعْبُدُ اللَّهَ فِي شِعْبٍ مِنَ الشِّعَابِ قَدْ كُفِيَ النَّاسُ شَرَّهُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us that striving to be perfect believers is an important part of our faith. The Prophet Muhammad PBUH said that the most perfect believers are those who strive in the path of Allah with their lives and property. This means that we should be willing to sacrifice our time and resources for the sake of Allah's cause. Additionally, he said that another type of believer is one who worships Allah in a place where they protect people from their evil. This means we should use our knowledge and skills to help others by protecting them from harm or danger. By doing this we can become more perfect believers as well as help others around us at the same time.
