أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ سُئِلَ أَيُّ الْأَعْمَالِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ إِيمَانٌ لَا شَكَّ فِيهِ وَجِهَادٌ لَا غُلُولَ فِيهِ وَحَجَّةٌ مَبْرُورَةٌ قِيلَ فَأَيُّ الصَّلَاةِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ طُولُ الْقُنُوتِ قِيلَ فَأَيُّ الصَّدَقَةِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ جَهْدُ الْمُقِلِّ قِيلَ فَأَيُّ الْهِجْرَةِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ مَنْ هَجَرَ مَا حَرَّمَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ قِيلَ فَأَيُّ الْجِهَادِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ مَنْ جَاهَدَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ بِمَالِهِ وَنَفْسِهِ قِيلَ فَأَيُّ الْقَتْلِ أَشْرَفُ؟ قَالَ مَنْ أُهَرِيقَ دَمُهُ وَعُقِرَ جَوَادُهُ  

[Machine] "A man said, 'O Messenger of Allah, what is Islam?' He ﷺ said, 'To surrender your heart to Allah and for the Muslims to be safe from your tongue and hand.' He then asked, 'Which Islam is the best?' He ﷺ said, 'Iman (faith).' He asked, 'And what is Iman?' He ﷺ said, 'To believe in Allah, His angels, His books, His messengers, and the Day of Resurrection.' He asked, 'Which Iman is the best?' He ﷺ said, 'Hijrah (migration).' He asked, 'And what is Hijrah?' He ﷺ said, 'To abandon what is evil.' He asked, 'Which Hijrah is the best?' He ﷺ said, 'Jihad (striving).' He asked, 'And what is Jihad?' He ﷺ said, 'To fight the disbelievers when you meet them.' He asked, 'Which Jihad is the best?' He ﷺ said, 'The one who fights with his wealth and life.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said, 'These two actions are the best of deeds, except for those who perform deeds similar to them, such as a Hajj that is accepted or an 'Umrah that is performed sincerely.'"  

رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا الْإِسْلَامُ؟ قَالَ أَنْ يُسْلِمَ قَلْبُكَ لِلَّهِ ﷻ وَأَنْ يَسْلَمَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ مِنْ لِسَانِكَ وَيَدِكَ قَالَ فَأَيُّ الْإِسْلَامِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ الْإِيمَانُ قَالَ وَمَا الْإِيمَانُ؟ قَالَ تُؤْمِنُ بِاللهِ وَمَلَائِكَتِهِ وَكُتُبِهِ وَرُسُلِهِ وَالْبَعْثِ بَعْدَ الْمَوْتِ قَالَ فَأَيُّ الْإِيمَانِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ الْهِجْرَةُ قَالَ فَمَا الْهِجْرَةُ؟ قَالَ تَهْجُرُ السُّوءَ قَالَ فَأَيُّ الْهِجْرَةِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ الْجِهَادُ قَالَ وَمَا الْجِهَادُ؟ قَالَ أَنْ تُقَاتِلَ الْكُفَّارَ إِذَا لَقِيتَهُمْ قَالَ فَأَيُّ الْجِهَادِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ مَنْ عُقِرَ جَوَادُهُ وَأُهْرِيقَ دَمُهُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ عَمَلَانِ هُمَا أَفْضَلُ الْأَعْمَالِ إِلَّا مَنْ عَمِلَ بِمِثْلِهِمَا حَجَّةٌ مَبْرُورَةٌ أَوْ عُمْرَةٌ

The Prophet ﷺ was asked: Which of the actions is better ? He replied: Standing for long time (in prayer). He was again asked: Which alms is better ? He replied: The alms given by a man possessing small property acquired by his labour. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1449)
