وَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا زَائِدَةُ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ؓ قَالَ:

قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَيُّ الْإِسْلَامِ أَفْضَلُ ؟ قَالَ ﷺ: مَنْ سَلِمَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ مِنْ لِسَانِهِ وَيَدِهِ، قِيلَ: فَأَيُّ الْإِيمَانِ أَفْضَلُ ؟ قَالَ ﷺ: الصَّبْرُ وَالسَّمَاحَةُ، قِيلَ: فَأَيُّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَكْثَرُ إِيمَانًا ؟ قَالَ ﷺ: أَحْسَنُهُمْ خُلُقًا قِيلَ: فَأَيُّ الْجِهَادِ أَفْضَلُ ؟ قَالَ ﷺ: مَنْ نُحِرَ جَوَادُهُ وَأُهْرِيقَ دَمُهُ. قِيلَ: فَأَيُّ الصَّلَاةِ أَفْضَلُ ؟ قَالَ ﷺ: طُولُ الْقُنُوتِ، قِيلَ: فَأَيُّ الصَّدَقَةِ أَفْضَلُ ؟ قَالَ ﷺ: جُهْدُ الْمُقِلِّ، قِيلَ: فَأَيُّ الْهِجْرَةِ أَفْضَلُ ؟ قَالَ: أَنْ تَهْجُرَ مَا حَرَّمَ اللهُ عَلَيْكَ أَخْرَجُوهُ مُخْتَصَرًا
