Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي أَنَّ أَبَا مُرَاوِحٍ الْغِفَارِيَّ أخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ أَبَا ذَرٍّ أخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيُّ الْعَمَلِ أَفْضَلُ قَالَ إِيمَانٌ بِاللَّهِ وَجِهَادٌ فِي سَبِيلِهِ قَالَ فَأَيُّ الرِّقَا
بِ أَفْضَلُ قَالَ أَغْلَاهَا ثَمَنًا وَأَنْفَسُهَا عِنْدَ أَهْلِهَا قَالَ أَفَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ لَمْ أَفْعَلْ قَالَ تُعِينُ صَانِعًا أَوْ تَصْنَعُ لِأَخْرَقَ قَالَ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ ضَعُفْتُ قَالَ تُمْسِكُ عَنْ الشَّرِّ فَإِنَّهُ صَدَقَةٌ تَصَّدَّقُ بِهَا عَلَى نَفْسِكَ

It was narrated from Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that he asked the Messenger of Allah دلوالله about the best deed. He said: "Belief in Allah and jihad in His path." He asked: "Which freeing of slaves is best?" He said: "The most precious and most valued by its owner." He asked: "What if I cannot?" He said: "Help a craftsman or work for one who cannot work." He asked: "What if I cannot?" He said: "Withhold your harm from people, for that is a charity you give on behalf of yourself."
