حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : سَأَلَ رَجُلٌ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : أَيُّ الْأَعْمَالِ أَفْضَلُ ؟ قَالَ : " الْإِيمَانُ بِاللَّهِ " ، قَالَ : ثُمَّ مَاذَا ؟ قَالَ : " الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ " ، قَالَ : ثُمَّ مَاذَا ؟ قَالَ : " ثُمَّ حَجٌّ مَبْرُورٌ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that once someone asked the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Which deed is the most virtuous?" The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: "To have faith in Allah." The questioner asked: "Then which deed is most virtuous?" He replied: "Jihad in the way of Allah." The questioner asked: "After that?" He replied: "A Hajj that is accepted (by Allah)."
