Musnad Ahmad 2114
Musnad of 'Abdullah bin al-'Abbas bin 'Abdul-Muttalib from the Prophet
It was narrated from Ibn ‘Abbas (رضي الله عنه) that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came out to them when they were sitting, and said: "Shall I not tell you of the best of people in status?” They said: Yes, O Messenger of Allah. He said: A man who holds on to his horse's head for the sake of Allah, until he dies or is killed. And shall I not tell you of the next best?" They said: Yes, O Messenger of Allah. He said: "A man who stays away in a mountain pass, establishing prayer and paying zakah, avoiding people's evil. And shall I not tell you of the worst of people in status?" They said: Yes, O Messenger of Allah. He said: “The one who is urged for the sake of Allah to give, but he does not give.”
