Bayhaqi 18526 — The virtue of martyrdom in the way of Allah the Mighty

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ بِشْرَانَ الْعَدْلُ بِبَغْدَادَ، أنبأ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الرَّزَّازُ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، ثنا حَجَّاجٌ، قَالَ: قَالَ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ: حَدَّثَنِي عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ الْأَزْدِيِّ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ حُبْشِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سُئِلَ: أِيُّ الْأَعْمَالِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ: " إِيمَانٌ لَا شَكَّ فِيهِ، وَجِهَادٌ لَا غُلُولَ فِيهِ، وَحَجَّةٌ مَبْرُورَةٌ ". قِيلَ: أِيُّ الصَّلَاةِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ: " طُولُ الْقِيَامِ ". قِيلَ: فَأِيُّ الصَّدَقَةِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ: " جَهْدٌ مِنْ مُقِلٍّ ". قِيلَ: فَأِيُّ الْهِجْرَةِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ: " مَنْ هَجَرَ مَا حُرِّمَ عَلَيْهِ ". قِيلَ: فَأِيُّ الْجِهَادِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ: " مَنْ جَاهَدَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ بِمَالِهِ وَنَفْسِهِ ". قِيلَ: فَأِيُّ الْقَتْلِ أَشْرَفُ؟ قَالَ: " مَنْ أُهَرِيقَ دَمُهُ وَعُقِرَ جَوَادُهُ ".
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Hubshi (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about the best deeds, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Faith in which there is no doubt, jihad in which there is no betrayal, and an accepted Hajj." It was said: Which prayer is best? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The one with long standing." It was said: Which charity is best? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Spending from little wealth." It was said: Which emigration is best? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "That in which one abandons what Allah has made unlawful." It was said: Which jihad is best? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "That of the one who strives against the polytheists with his wealth and his life." It was said: Which killing is best? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "That in which (the fighter's) blood is shed and his horse is also killed."
