حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ، قَالَ: قَالَ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ: حَدَّثَنِي عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ الْأَزْدِيِّ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ،عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ حُبْشِيٍّ الْخَثْعَمِيِّ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سُئِلَ: أَيُّ الْأَعْمَالِ أَفْضَلُ ؟ قَالَ: طُولُ الْقِيَامِ قِيلَ: فَأَيُّ الصَّدَقَةِ أَفْضَلُ ؟ قَالَ: جَهْدُ الْمُقِلِّ قِيلَ: فَأَيُّ الْهِجْرَةِ أَفْضَلُ ؟ قَالَ: مَنْ هَجَرَ مَا حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ قِيلَ: فَأَيُّ الْجِهَادِ أَفْضَلُ ؟ قَالَ: مَنْ جَاهَدَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ بِمَالِهِ وَنَفْسِهِ قِيلَ: فَأَيُّ الْقَتْلِ أَشْرَفُ ؟ قَالَ: مَنْ أُهَرِيقَ دَمُهُ وَعُقِرَ جَوَادُهُ .

The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم was asked: Which of the actions is better ? He replied: Standing for long time (in prayer). He was again asked: Which alms is better ? He replied: The alms given by a man possessing small property acquired by his labour. He replied: "Standing for long periods of time (during prayers)." He was asked: "And which charity is the most virtuous?" He replied : The efforts (in charity) of one who is destitute." He was asked: "And which type of emigration (Hijrah) is the most virtuous?" He replied: "The one who emigrated (left) what Allah what Allah had prohibited him from." He was asked: "And which type of Jihad is the most virtuous?" He said: "He who performed Jihad (strived) against the pagans with his wealth and life." He was asked: And what type of martyrdom is the most honorable?" He replied: "He whose blood was spilled, and whose horse's leg was cut off."
