Hadith #360
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامٌ عَنْ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلّ
َمَ أَفْضَلُ الْأَعْمَالِ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ إِيمَانٌ لَا شَكَّ فِيهِ وَغَزْوٌ لَا غُلُولَ فِيهِ وَحَجٌّ مَبْرُورٌ قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ حَجٌّ مَبْرُورٌ يُكَفِّرُ خَطَايَا تِلْكَ السَّنَةِ

English Translation
It was narrated from Abu Hurayra (رضي الله عنه) — via Yazid [ibn Harun], from Hisham, from Yahya, from Abu Ja'far — that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'The best deeds before Allah are: faith [iman] with no doubt in it, jihad [ghazw] with no treachery [ghulul] in it, and a mabrur Hajj.' Abu Hurayra said: 'A mabrur Hajj expiates the sins of that year.'
