Abd al-Wahhab ibn Abd al-Hakam reported from Hajjaj, who said: Ibn Jurayj informed me: Uthman ibn Abi Sulayman narrated to me, from Ali al-Azdi, from Ubayd ibn Umayr, from Abd Allah ibn Hubshi al-Khathami, that the Prophet ﷺ was asked: Which deeds are best? He said: Faith without doubt, jihad without misappropriation, and an accepted Hajj. He was asked: Which prayer is best? He said: Prolonged standing in prayer. He was asked: Which charity is best? He said: The effort of one who has little. He was asked: Which emigration is best? He said: One who abandons what Allah, Mighty and Majestic, has forbidden. He was asked: Which jihad is best? He said: One who strives against the polytheists with his wealth and himself. He was asked: Which killing is most noble? He said: One whose blood is shed and whose horse is hamstrung.
Translation notes
The sequence of questions and answers is preserved. Ghulul in the first answer is rendered as misappropriation, and jahd al-muqill as the effort of one who has little.
