It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man came to the service of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was at that time throwing pebbles at the Jamarat. He asked this question: "O Messenger of Allah! Which jihad is the most beloved to Allah Almighty?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) remained silent. Then he came again near the second Jamrah and repeated the same question. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) again remained silent. Then he came again near the third Jamrah and repeated the same question. So the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "That word of truth which is spoken before a tyrant ruler."
