حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ ، قَالَ : قَالَ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ : حَدَّثَنِي عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي سُلَيْمَانَ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ الْأَزْدِيِّ ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ ،عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ حُبْشِيٍّ الْخَثْعَمِيِّ ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سُئِلَ : أَيُّ الْأَعْمَالِ أَفْضَلُ ؟ قَالَ : " طُولُ الْقِيَامِ " قِيلَ : فَأَيُّ الصَّدَقَةِ أَفْضَلُ ؟ قَالَ : " جَهْدُ الْمُقِلِّ " قِيلَ : فَأَيُّ الْهِجْرَةِ أَفْضَلُ ؟ قَالَ : " مَنْ هَجَرَ مَا حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ " قِيلَ : فَأَيُّ الْجِهَادِ أَفْضَلُ ؟ قَالَ : " مَنْ جَاهَدَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ بِمَالِهِ وَنَفْسِهِ " قِيلَ : فَأَيُّ الْقَتْلِ أَشْرَفُ ؟ قَالَ : " مَنْ أُهَرِيقَ دَمُهُ وَعُقِرَ جَوَادُهُ " .
Abdullah bin Habshi al-Khath'ami said: The Prophet ﷺ was asked: Which of the actions is better ? He replied: Standing for long time (in prayer). He was again asked: Which alms is better ? He replied: The alms given by a man possessing small property acquired by his labour.

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
1449. Commentary: Allahu Akbar! It is as if, after the noble Companions (radi Allahu anhum ajma'in) attained understanding of religion and faith, worldly desires departed entirely from their hearts. Regarding bread, clothing, and shelter, neither did these individuals ask, nor did you (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) mention them. In reality, these things are merely provisions for the journey through this world. But alas, now these material things have come to dominate people’s minds excessively. And to Allah is the complaint.
