"عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ اللَّيْثِىِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَالَ: بَيْنَمَا أَنَا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ الله ﷺ إِذْ جَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ الله: مَا الإِيمَانُ؟ قَالَ: الصَّبْرُ والسَّمَاحَةُ، قَالَ: يَا رسُولَ اللهِ: فَأَىُّ الإِسْلَامِ أَفْضَلُ يَا رَسُولَ الله؟ قَالَ: مَنْ سَلِمَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ مِنْ لِسَانِهِ وَيَدِهِ، قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ الله: فَأَىُّ الْهِجْرَةِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ: مَنْ هَجَرَ السُّوءَ، قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ الله: فَأَىُّ الْجِهَادِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ: مَنْ أُهْرِيقَ دَمُهُ، وَعُقِرَ جوادُهُ، قال: يَا رَسُولَ الله: فأىّ الصدقة أفضلُ قَالَ: جُهْدُ الْمُقِلِّ قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ الله: فَأَىُّ الصَّلَاةِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ: طُولُ الْقُنُوتِ".

[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.'"
