حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ بَعْجَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْجُهَنِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " لَيَأْتِيَنَّ عَلَى النَّاسِ زَمَانٌ، يَكُونُ أَفْضَلُ النَّاسِ فِيهِ بِمَنْزِلَةِ، رَجُلٍ أَخَذَ بِعِنَانِ فَرَسِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ، كُلَّمَا سَمِعَ بِهَيْعَةٍ اسْتَوَى عَلَى مَتْنِهِ، ثُمَّ طَلَبَ الْمَوْتَ مَظَانَّهُ، وَرَجُلٌ فِي شِعْبٍ مِنْ هَذِهِ الشِّعَابِ، يُقِيمُ الصَّلَاةَ، وَيُؤْتِي الزَّكَاةَ، وَيَدَعُ النَّاسَ إِلَّا مِنْ خَيْرٍ " (١)، ،

English translation
It is narrated from Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: A time will surely come upon the people when, in terms of status and rank, the most virtuous person will be the one who, holding the reins of his horse, sets out in the path of Allah; wherever he hears a call, he mounts his horse and sets out in search of death (martyrdom). Or that person who lives among the common people, establishes prayer, pays zakat, and keeps away from people except for good (does not harm anyone).
