حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ، أَنَّ أَبَا مُرَاوِحٍ الْغِفَارِيَّ أخْبَرَهُ ، أَنَّ أَبَا ذَرٍّ أخْبَرَهُ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَيُّ الْعَمَلِ أَفْضَلُ ؟ قَالَ : " إِيمَانٌ بِاللَّهِ ، وَجِهَادٌ فِي سَبِيلِهِ " قَالَ : فَأَيُّ الرِّقَابِ أَفْضَلُ ؟ قَالَ : " أَغْلَاهَا ثَمَنًا ، وَأَنْفَسُهَا عِنْدَ أَهْلِهَا " ، قَالَ : أَفَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ لَمْ أَفْعَلْ ؟ قَالَ : " تُعِينُ صَانِعًا ، أَوْ تَصْنَعُ لِأَخْرَقَ " ، قَالَ : أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ ضَعُفْتُ ؟ قَالَ : " تُمْسِكُ عَنِ الشَّرِّ ، فَإِنَّهُ صَدَقَةٌ تَصَّدَّقُ بِهَا عَلَى نَفْسِكَ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I submitted in the presence of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), which deed is the most virtuous?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "To have faith in Allah and to strive in His path." I asked, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), which slave is best to set free?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "The one who is most precious and valuable to his owner." I asked, "What if I do not find such a slave?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Help someone in need or work for a needy person." I asked, "What if I am unable to do even that?" He said, "Keep people safe from your harm, for this too is a charity that you give from yourself."
