حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ , عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ , عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ , عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ , عَنْ أُمِّ الدَّرْدَاءِ , عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ , قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِأَفْضَلَ مِنْ دَرَجَةِ الصَّلَاةِ , وَالصِّيَامِ , وَالصَّدَقَةِ ؟ " , قَالُوا : بَلَى , قَالَ : " إِصْلَاحُ ذَاتِ الْبَيْنِ وَفَسَادُ ذَاتِ الْبَيْنِ هِيَ الْحَالِقة " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Shall I not tell you of an act that is superior in rank to prayer, fasting, and zakat? The companions said: Why not? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Reconciling between people who have fallen apart, for causing discord and corruption among such people is the shaver (that shaves off religion).
