أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ الْوَرَّاقُ بْنُ الْحَكَمِ الرَّقِّيُّ عَنْ حَجَّاجٍ وَهُوَ ابْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ أَخْبَرَنِي عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ الْأَزْدِيِّ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ حُبْشِيٍّ الْخَثْعَمِيِّ
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ سُئِلَ أَيُّ الْأَعْمَالِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ «إِيمَانٌ لَا شَكَّ فِيهِ وَجِهَادٌ لَا غُلُولَ فِيهِ وَحَجَّةٌ مَبْرُورَةٌ» قِيلَ فَأَيُّ الصَّلَاةِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ «طُولُ الْقُنُوتِ» قِيلَ فَأَيُّ الصَّدَقَةِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ «جُهْدُ الْمُقِلِّ» قِيلَ فَأَيُّ الْهِجْرَةِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ «مَنْ هَجَرَ مَا حَرَّمَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ» قِيلَ فَأَيُّ الْجِهَادِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ «مَنْ جَاهَدَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ بِمَالِهِ وَنَفْسِهِ» قِيلَ فَأَيُّ الْقَتْلِ أَشْرَفُ؟ قَالَ «مَنْ أُهَرِيقَ دَمُهُ وَعُقِرَ جَوَادُهُ»
