“The
best lifestyle is that of a man who holds onto the reins of his horse
for the sake of Allah, riding on its back. Every time he hears a
commotion he rushes towards it, seeking death wherever he thinks he
can find it; and a man who tends sheep at the top of one of these
peaks, or in the bottom of one of these valleys, establishing the
prayer, paying the charity, and worshipping his Lord until the
inevitable (death) comes to him and there is nothing between him and
the people except good.”
Sunan Ibn Majah Book 36, Hadith 52
