حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، ثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ، ثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ نُصَيْرٍ، مَوْلَى مَرْوَانَ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ، ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ، عَنْ يُونُسَ أَبِي عِمْرَانَ بْنِ أَنَسٍ، عَنْ جَدَّتِهِ أُمِّ أَنَسٍ، ؓ، أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ:
رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: جَعَلَكَ اللهُ فِي الرَّفِيقِ الْأَعْلَى مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ وَأَنَا مَعَكَ، قَالَ ﷺ: « آمِينَ » قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ عَلِّمْنِي عَمَلًا صَالِحًا أَعْمَلُهُ ؟ قَالَ ﷺ: « أَقِيمِي الصَّلَاةَ فَإِنَّهَا أَفْضَلُ الْجِهَادِ، وَاهْجُرِي الْمَعَاصِيَ فَإِنَّهَا أَفْضَلُ الْهِجْرَةِ، وَاذْكُرِي اللهَ كَثِيرًا فَإِنَّ أَحَبَّ الْأَعْمَالِ إِلَى اللهِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى أَنْ تَلْقِيهِ بِهِ

✧ I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said to him: 'May Allah place you in the highest company of Paradise, and me with you.' He ﷺ said: 'Amin.' I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, teach me a righteous deed to do.' He ﷺ said: 'Establish prayer, for it is the best of jihad, and abandon sins, for that is the best of emigration, and remember Allah much, for the most beloved of deeds to Allah, Blessed and Exalted, is that you meet Him with it.'
