Artat Bin Munzir reports that Umar RadhiAllahu anhu asked the people in his gathering, "Which person would attain the most virtue and reward?". The people suggested Zakat and Salah and agreed the highest rank is for the Ameer ul Mu,mineen (Umar RadhiAllahu anhu himself) and started naming other individuals. Hazrat Umar RadhiAllahu anhu then advised, "Shall I tell you the best person in terms of virtue who is even higher than the Ameer ul Mu,mineen (the leader of the Muslims)? The people replied, "Please do tell us." He said, "That small person who is holding the reins of his horse in Syria safeguarding the Muslim army, he is unaware if a wild animal will rip him apart or an insect will bite him or the enemy will attack. This person is higher in rank than those people whom you have mentioned and he is higher than the Ameer ul Mu,mineen in virtue." Kanzul Ummal, (p289, vol.2).
