"Which deed is best?" he said: "Take to fasting, for there is nothing equal to it."  

أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَىُّ الْعَمَلِ أَفْضَلُ قَالَ عَلَيْكَ بِالصَّوْمِ فَإِنَّهُ لاَ عِدْلَ لَهُ  

[Machine] I said, "O Messenger of Allah, guide me to a deed." He said, "You should fast, for there is no equal to it."  

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ دُلَّنِي عَلَى عَمَلٍ قَالَ «عَلَيْكَ بِالصَّوْمِ فَإِنَّهُ لَا عِدْلَ لَهُ»  

[Machine] I said, "O Messenger of Allah, guide me to a deed." He said, "You should observe fasting, as it has no equal."  

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ دُلَّنِي عَلَى عَمَلٍ قَالَ «عَلَيْكَ بِالصَّوْمِ فَإِنَّهُ لَا عِدْلَ لَهُ»  

"Which deed is best?" he said: "Take to fasting, for there is nothing equal to it." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2222)  

أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَيُّ الْعَمَلِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ «عَلَيْكَ بِالصَّوْمِ فَإِنَّهُ لَا عِدْلَ لَهُ»  

: "عَلَيكَ بِالصَّومِ، فإِنَّهُ لَا مِثْلَ لَهُ".
