ahmad:17814Yaḥyá b. Ghaylān > Rishdīn > Mūsá b. ʿAlī from his father > ʿAmr b. al-ʿĀṣ

A man said, “O Messenger of Allah, which deed is best?” He said, “Faith in Allah and affirmation, and striving in the path of Allah, and an accepted pilgrimage.” The man said, “You have mentioned many things, O Messenger of Allah.” So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Gentle speech, offering food, graciousness, and good character.” The man said, “I want one single statement.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, “Go, and do not accuse Allah concerning yourself.”

أحمد:١٧٨١٤حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ غَيْلَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا رِشْدِينُ حَدَّثَنِي مُوسَى بْنُ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ قَالَ

قَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَيُّ الْعَمَلِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ إِيمَانٌ بِاللهِ وَتَصْدِيقٌ وَجِهَادٌ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ وَحَجٌّ مَبْرُورٌ قَالَ الرَّجُلُ أَكْثَرْتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَلِينُ الْكَلَامِ وَبَذْلُ الطَّعَامِ وَسَمَاحٌ وَحُسْنُ خُلُقٍ قَالَ الرَّجُلُ أُرِيدُ كَلِمَةً وَاحِدَةً قَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ اذْهَبْ فَلَا تَتَّهِمِ اللهَ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ
