اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، أَنَّ أَبَا مُرَاوِحٍ الْغِفَارِيَّ أَخْبَرَهُ، أَنَّ أَبَا ذَرٍّ أَخْبَرَهُ، أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: أَيُّ الْعَمَلِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ: ”إِيمَانٌ بِاللَّهِ، وَجِهَادٌ فِي سَبِيلِهِ“، قَالَ: فَأَيُّ الرِّقَابِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ: ”أَغْلاَهَا ثَمَنًا، وَأَنْفَسُهَا عِنْدَ أَهْلِهَا“، قَالَ: أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ لَمْ أَفْعَلْ؟ قَالَ: ”تُعِينُ ضَائِعًا، أَوْ تَصْنَعُ لأَخْرَقَ“، قَالَ: أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ لَمْ أَفْعَلَ؟ قَالَ: ”تَدَعُ النَّاسَ مِنَ الشَّرِّ، فَإِنَّهَا صَدَقَةٌ تَصَدَّقُ بِهَا عَنْ نَفْسِكَ.“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that he asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): Which deed is the best? He (peace be upon him) said: “To have faith in Allah and to strive in His path.” He asked: Which slave (to free) is the best? He (peace be upon him) said: “The one who is the most valuable in price and most esteemed in the eyes of his owners.” He said: What if I am unable to do that? He (peace be upon him) said: “Then help someone who is helpless or do some work for someone who is incapable.” He said: What if I am not able to do even that? He (peace be upon him) said: “Then keep people safe from your evil, for that will be a charity from you upon yourself.”
