Sahih Ibn Hibban 4596

Translation

✧ I said, ‘O Messenger of Allah, which deed is best?’ He said: «Faith in Allah and jihad in His cause.» I said, ‘Which slaves are best?’ He said: «The most precious to their owners and the highest in price.» I said, ‘What if I do not do that?’ He said: «You help a craftsman or make something for an unskilled person.» I said, ‘What if I am too weak for that?’ He said: «Then refrain from evil, for it is a charity you give to yourself.»
