أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْحَكَمِ ، عَنْ حَجَّاجٍ ، قَالَ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ : أَخْبَرَنِي عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي سُلَيْمَانَ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ الْأَزْدِيِّ ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ حُبْشِيٍّ الْخَثْعَمِيِّ ، أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سُئِلَ أَيُّ الْأَعْمَالِ أَفْضَلُ ؟ قَالَ : " إِيمَانٌ لَا شَكَّ فِيهِ ، وَجِهَادٌ لَا غُلُولَ فِيهِ ، وَحَجَّةٌ مَبْرُورَةٌ " ، قِيلَ : فَأَيُّ الصَّلَاةِ أَفْضَلُ ؟ قَالَ : " طُولُ الْقُنُوتِ " ، قِيلَ : فَأَيُّ الصَّدَقَةِ أَفْضَلُ ؟ قَالَ : " جُهْدُ الْمُقِلِّ " ، قِيلَ : فَأَيُّ الْهِجْرَةِ أَفْضَلُ ؟ قَالَ : " مَنْ هَجَرَ مَا حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ " ، قِيلَ : فَأَيُّ الْجِهَادِ أَفْضَلُ ؟ قَالَ : " مَنْ جَاهَدَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ بِمَالِهِ وَنَفْسِهِ " ، قِيلَ : فَأَيُّ الْقَتْلِ أَشْرَفُ ؟ قَالَ : " مَنْ أُهَرِيقَ دَمُهُ وَعُقِرَ جَوَادُهُ " .
´It was narrated from 'Abudullah bin Hubshi Al-Khath 'ami that the Prophet was asked:` "Which deed is best?" He said: "Faith in which there is no doubt, Jihad in which there is no stealing of the spoils of war, and Hjijatun Mabrurah."[1] It was said: "Which prayer is best? He said:"That in which there is ling Qunut (standing)." It was said: "Which charity is best?" He said: "The poor's night." It was said: "Which Hijrah (emigration) is best?" He said: "One who shuns (Hahara) that which Allah has forbidden." It was said: "One who strives against the idolaters with his life and his wealth. "It was said: "Which death is best?" He said: "One who sheds his blood while his horse's feet are cut with swords."
Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
(1) It is not necessary that the answer to a question be the same for every person. The answer may differ according to the condition of the one being addressed and the context of the situation. Also, it is possible that one deed is the best among the rights of Allah (huquq Allah), while another is the best among the rights of the servants (huquq al-‘ibad). Some deeds may be superior in acts of worship (‘ibadat), while others in dealings (mu‘amalat). This is why, in other narrations, the answer to the question of the best deed differs from this one. There is no contradiction in this.
(2) “Iman” (faith) in which there is no hesitation or wavering; otherwise, it is not valid, like the faith of the hypocrites (munafiqun).
(3) Betrayal, meaning in the spoils of war (mal al-ghanimah).
(4) “A righteous Hajj (hajj mabrur),” in which no lewd talk is uttered, no major sin is committed, and no quarrel or dispute takes place.
(5) “With long standing,” meaning the voluntary night prayer (nafl salah) at night; otherwise, the obligatory prayer (fard salah) should have brief standing.
(6) “Leave it,” because the purpose of migration (hijrah) is to act upon the religion of Allah, otherwise, what need would there be to leave one’s home and city?
