He (peace be upon him) said:“Pure speech and feeding the people (is Islam).”I said: What is faith? He (peace be upon him) said:“Patience and gentleness (is faith).”I said: Which Islam is best?

He (peace be upon him) said:“Good character.”I said: Which prayer is best? He (peace be upon him) said:“The one with long standing.”I said: Which migration is best? He (peace be upon him) said:“To leave what your Lord dislikes.”I said: Which jihad is best?
