English Translation
It was narrated from Abu al-Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Shall I not tell you of the best of your deeds, the purest of them in the sight of your Master, the highest in raising your degrees, better for you than giving gold and silver, and better than meeting your enemy and striking their necks while they strike yours? It is the remembrance of Allah the Almighty."
