عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ حُبْشِيٍّ الْخَثْعَمِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ سُئِلَ أَيُّ الْأَعْمَالِ أَفْضَلُ قَالَ إِيمَانٌ لَا شَكَّ فِيهِ وَجِهَادٌ لَا غُلُولَ فِيهِ وَحَجَّةٌ مَبْرُورَةٌ قِيلَ فَأَيُّ الصَّلَاةِ أَفْضَلُ قَالَ طُولُ الْقُنُوتِ 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 أُهْرِيقَ دَمُهُ وَعُقِرَ جَوَادُهُ
Narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Hubshi Khath’ami (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked: “Which deed is the best?” He (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: “Such faith in which there is no doubt, such jihad in which there is no dishonesty, and Hajj Mabrur.” Someone asked: “Which prayer is the best?” He (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: “Prolonged standing (in prayer).” Someone asked: “Which charity is the best?” He (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: “That given by a person of little means, according to his capacity.” Someone asked: “Which migration is the best?” He (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: “The migration of a person who abandons what Allah has forbidden; this migration (i.e., leaving forbidden acts) is the best.” Someone asked: “Which jihad is the best?” He (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: “Jihad against the polytheists with both wealth and life.” Then it was asked: “Which martyrdom is of the highest rank?” He (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: “That in which the blood of the warrior is shed and the legs of his horse are cut.”
