اخبرنا احمد بن عبد الله، حدثنا حجاج بن محمد، قال: قال ابن جريج: اخبرني عثمان بن ابي سليمان، عن علي الازدي، عن عبيد بن عمير الليثي، عن عبد الله بن حبشي، ان النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم سئل: اي الاعمال افضل؟ قال: "إيمان لا شك فيه، وجهاد لا غلول فيه، وحجة مبرورة". قيل: فاي الصلاة افضل؟ قال:"طول القيام". قيل: فاي الصدقة افضل؟ قال:"جهد مقل". قيل: فاي الهجرة افضل؟ قال:"ان تهجر ما حرم الله عليك". قيل: فاي الجهاد افضل؟ قال:"من جاهد المشركين بماله ونفسه". قيل: فاي القتل اشرف؟ قال:"من عقر جواده واهريق دمه".
It is narrated from Abdullah bin Hubshi that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked: "Which deed is the best?" He replied: "There is no doubt that having faith in Allah Almighty is the best deed, then jihad in which there is no dishonesty, and then an accepted Hajj." It was asked: "And which prayer is the most virtuous?" He said: "The one in which the standing (qiyam) is long." It was asked: "And which charity is the best?" He said: "That which a person with little wealth gives by working hard." It was asked: "Which migration (hijrah) is the best?" He said: "The one in which a person abandons (keeps away from) sinful acts." It was asked: "Then which jihad is the best?" He said: "The one in which a person strives against the polytheists with his life and wealth." It was asked: "Which killing is the best?" He said: "The one whose blood is shed and whose horse's legs and arms are cut off."
