حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَعْشَرٍ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عُقْبَةَ عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ أَبِي زِيَادٍ مَوْلَى ابْنِ عَيَّاشٍ عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ

أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِخَيْرِ أَعْمَالِكُمْ، وَأَزْكَاهَا عِنْدَ مَلِيكِكُمْ، وَأَرْفَعِهَا لِدَرَجَاتِكُمْ ؟ وَخَيْرٍ لَكُمْ مِنْ إِعْطَاءِ الذَّهَبِ وَالْوَرِقِ، وَخَيْرٍ لَكُمْ مِنْ أَنْ تَلْقَوْا عَدُوَّكُمْ فَتَضْرِبُوا رِقَابَهُمْ وَيَضْرِبُونَ رِقَابَكُمْ ؟ ذِكْرُ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ

✧ Shall I not tell you of the best of your deeds, and the purest in the sight of your King, and the highest in raising your ranks, better for you than giving gold and silver, and better for you than meeting your enemy and striking their necks while they strike your necks? It is the remembrance of God, Mighty and Majestic.
