Guarding boundaries for one day for Allah

This hadith speaks to the virtue and importance of guarding borders. It was narrated by Abu Salih, who was a freed slave of Uthman bin Affan. He heard Uthman say on the minbar that he had heard from Prophet Muhammad that guarding borders for one day is better than a thousand days doing other deeds. This hadith emphasizes how important it is to guard borders and protect them from any harm or danger. It also shows us how much value we should place on this task, as it is more valuable than any other deed we could do in a thousand days combined. We can learn from this hadith that protecting our borders should be taken seriously and given priority over all else, as it will bring us closer to Allah and benefit us in both this life and the hereafter.
