وَبِهِ: حَدَّثَنِي اللَّيْثُ: نَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ: أَخْبَرَنِي عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ أَبِي مُرَاوِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ
أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ: أَيُّ الْأَعْمَالِ خَيْرٌ ؟ قَالَ: " إِيمَانٌ بِاللهِ، وَجِهَادٌ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ قَالَ: فَأَيُّ الرِّقَابِ خَيْرٌ ؟ قَالَ: " أَغْلَاهَا ثَمَنًا، وَأَنْفَسُهَا عِنْدَ أَهْلِهَا " قَالَ: أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ لَمْ أَسْتَطِعْ بَعْضَ الْعَمَلِ ؟ قَالَ: " فَتُعِينُ صَانِعًا، أَوْ تَصْنَعُ لِأَخْرَقَ " قَالَ: أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ ضَعُفْتُ ؟ قَالَ: " فَتَدَعُ النَّاسَ مِنَ الشَّرِّ " قَالَ: " فَإِنَّهَا صَدَقَةٌ تَصَدَّقُ بِهَا عَلَى نَفْسِكَ
