حَدِيثُ مَاعِزٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ
Hadith of Ma‘iz (may Allah be pleased with him)
Hadith 19010
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ يَعْنِي الْجُرَيْرِيَّ ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الشِّخِّيرِ ، عَنْ مَاعِزٍ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ : أَيُّ الْأَعْمَالِ أَفْضَلُ ؟ قَالَ : " إِيمَانٌ بِاللَّهِ وَحْدَهُ ، ثُمَّ الْجِهَادُ ، ثُمَّ حَجَّةٌ بَرَّةٌ تَفْضُلُ سَائِرَ الْعَمَلِ كَمَا بَيْنَ مَطْلَعِ الشَّمْسِ إِلَى مَغْرِبِهَا " . .
It is narrated from Hazrat Ma'iz (may Allah be pleased with him) that once a person asked the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), "Which is the most virtuous deed?" The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied, "To have faith in one Allah, then jihad, then Hajj Mabroor; among all deeds, these are superior just as the distance between the east and the west." The previous hadith is also narrated through this second chain of transmission.
Hadith 19011
قال عبد الله بن أحمد ، حَدَّثَنَا هُدْبَةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ ، قال : الْجُرَيْرِيِّ حدَّثَنَا ، عَنْ حَيَّانَ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا مَاعِزٌ ، أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سُئِلَ : أَيُّ الْأَعْمَالِ أَفْضَلُ ؟ فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ.
Abdullah ibn Ahmad said, Hudbah ibn Khalid narrated to us, Wuhaib ibn Khalid narrated to us, he said: al-Jurayri narrated to us, from Hayyan ibn Umayr, Ma'iz narrated to us, that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, was asked: "Which deeds are best?" So he mentioned something similar to it.
