Musnad Ahmad Hadith 9142

It is narrated from Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: Shall I not tell you about the best man among the creation? The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) said: Why not, O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)? He said: The man who holds the reins of his horse and sets out in the path of Allah, and whenever needed, mounts it. Shall I not tell you about the one who is at the next level after him? The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) said: Why not? He said: The man who is among his flock of goats, establishes prayer, and gives zakat. Shall I not tell you about the worst man among the creation? The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) said: Why not? He said: The man who asks someone for something in the name of Allah, but receives nothing.
