Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا حَبِيبُ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ بِنْتِ طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ تُرَى الْجِهَادَ أَفْضَلَ الْعَمَلِ، أَفَلاَ نُجَاهِدُ قَالَ " لَكِنَّ أَفْضَلَ الْجِهَادِ حَجٌّ مَبْرُورٌ ".
Translation
Musaddad narrated to us; Khalid narrated to us; Habib ibn Abi ʿAmra narrated to us, from ʿAʾisha bint Talha, from ʿAʾisha (may Allah be pleased with her), who said: “Messenger of Allah, we consider striving in Allah’s cause the best deed. Should we not strive?” He replied, “Rather, the best striving is an accepted pilgrimage.”
Translation notes
Rendered hajj mabrur as “accepted pilgrimage.”
