قَالَ مُسَدَّدٌ: حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الشَّامِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ؓ قَالَ:
قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: أَسْلِمْ تَسْلَمْ. قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، وَمَا الْإِسْلَامُ ؟ قَالَ ﷺ: أَنْ تُسْلِمَ قَلْبَكَ لِلهِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى، وَيَسْلَمَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ مِنْ لِسَانِكَ وَيَدِكَ، قَالَ: فَأَيُّ الْإِسْلَامِ أَفْضَلُ ؟ قَالَ: الْإِيمَانُ، قَالَ: وَمَا الْإِيمَانُ ؟ قَالَ ﷺ: أَنْ تُؤْمِنَ بِاللهِ وَمَلَائِكَتِهِ، وَكُتُبِهِ وَرُسُلِهِ، وَبِالْبَعْثِ بَعْدَ الْمَوْتِ، قَالَ: أَيُّ الْإِيمَانِ أَفْضَلُ ؟ قَالَ: الْهِجْرَةُ. قَالَ: وَمَا الْهِجْرَةُ، قَالَ: أَنْ تَهْجُرَ الْمَأْثَمَ، قَالَ: فَأَيُّ الْهِجْرَةِ أَفْضَلُ ؟ قَالَ: الْجِهَادُ، قَالَ: وَمَا الْجِهَادُ ؟ قَالَ: أَنْ تُجَاهِدَ الْكُفَّارَ إِذَا رَأَيْتَهُمْ، ثُمَّ لَا تَغُلَّ، وَلَا تَجْبُنْ، ثُمَّ عَمَلَانِ هُمَا مِنْ أَفْضَلِ الْأَعْمَالِ، إِلَّا كَمِثْلِهِمَا حَجَّةٌ مَبْرُورَةٌ أَوْ عُمْرَةٌ

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me: "Submit (become Muslim) and you will be safe." He said: "O Messenger of Allah, what is Islam?" He ﷺ said: "That you submit your heart to Allah (Blessed and Exalted), and that the Muslims be safe from your tongue and your hand." He said: "Which Islam is best?" He said: "Iman (faith)." He said: "What is Iman?" He ﷺ said: "That you believe in Allah, His angels, His books, His messengers, and in the Resurrection after death." He said: "Which Iman is best?" He said: "Hijrah (migration)." He said: "What is hijrah?" He said: "That you abandon sin." He said: "Which hijrah is best?" He said: "Jihad." He said: "What is jihad?" He said: "That you fight the disbelievers when you meet them, then you do not act treacherously with the spoils and do not show cowardice." Then two deeds are among the best of deeds, unless they are equaled by an accepted Hajj or an Umrah.
