حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ
أَبِي سُلَيْمٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي طَاوُسٌ عَنْ أُمِّ مَالِكٍ الْبَهْزِيَّةِ قَالَتْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَيْرُ النَّاسِ فِي الْفِتْنَةِ رَجُلٌ مُعْتَزِلٌ فِي مَالِهِ يَعْبُدُ رَبَّهُ وَيُؤَدِّي حَقَّهُ وَرَجُلٌ آخِذٌ بِرَأْسِ فَرَسِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ يُخِيفُهُمْ وَيُخِيفُونَهُ

English Translation
It was narrated from Umm Malik al-Bahziyya (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "The best of people in times of tribulation is a man who withdraws with his wealth, worshipping his Lord and fulfilling His rights, and a man who takes hold of his horse's reins in the path of Allah, instilling fear in the enemy and being instilled with fear by them."
