The Prophet ﷺ was asked, "Which deeds are best?"He answered, "Standing long in prayer."He was asked, "Which charity is best?"He answered, "What is given by one who has little."He was asked, "Which migration is best?"He answered, "That a person abandons what Allah has forbidden him."He was asked, "Which jihad is best?"He answered, "That a person strives against the polytheists with his wealth and his life."He was asked, "Which death in battle is most honorable?"He answered, "That of one whose blood is shed and whose horse is hamstrung beneath him."
حدثنا أحمد بن حنبل حدثنا حجاج قال قال ابن جريج حدثني عثمان بن أبي سليمان عن علي الأزدي عن عبيد بن عمير
أن النبي ﷺ سئل أي الأعمال أفضل قال طول القيام قيل فأي الصدقة أفضل قال جهد المقل قيل فأي الهجرة أفضل قال من هجر ما حرم الله عليه قيل فأي الجهاد أفضل قال من جاهد المشركين بماله ونفسه قيل فأي القتل أشرف قال من أهريق دمه وعقر جواده
