Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 8723 — he asked the Prophet ﷺ: Which deed is best?
وَبِهِ : حَدَّثَنِي اللَّيْثُ : نَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ : أَخْبَرَنِي عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ أَبِي مُرَاوِحٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ ، أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : أَيُّ الْأَعْمَالِ خَيْرٌ ؟ قَالَ : I " إِيمَانٌ بِاللهِ ، وَجِهَادٌ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ قَالَ : فَأَيُّ الرِّقَابِ خَيْرٌ ؟ قَالَ : I " أَغْلَاهَا ثَمَنًا ، وَأَنْفَسُهَا عِنْدَ أَهْلِهَا I " قَالَ : أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ لَمْ أَسْتَطِعْ بَعْضَ الْعَمَلِ ؟ قَالَ : I " فَتُعِينُ صَانِعًا ، أَوْ تَصْنَعُ لِأَخْرَقَ I " قَالَ : أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ ضَعُفْتُ ؟ قَالَ : I " فَتَدَعُ النَّاسَ مِنَ الشَّرِّ I " قَالَ : I " فَإِنَّهَا صَدَقَةٌ تَصَدَّقُ بِهَا عَلَى نَفْسِكَ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that he asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Which deed is best?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Faith in Allah and jihad in the path of Allah." He asked: "Which slave is best to set free?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The one highest in price and most precious and prized by his owners." He said: "What do you think if I am unable to do some of these deeds?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then help a craftsman, or do the work for someone who is unskilled and cannot do his own work well." He said: "What do you think if I am too weak even for that?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then keep your evil away from people." Then he said: "That too is a charity that you give to yourself."
