حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُوسَى ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ أَبِي مُرَاوِحٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : سَأَلْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، أَيُّ الْعَمَلِ أَفْضَلُ ؟ قَالَ : إِيمَانٌ بِاللَّهِ وَجِهَادٌ فِي سَبِيلِهِ ، قُلْتُ : فَأَيُّ الرِّقَابِ أَفْضَلُ ؟ قَالَ : أَغْلَاهَا ثَمَنًا ، وَأَنْفَسُهَا عِنْدَ أَهْلِهَا ، قُلْتُ : فَإِنْ لَمْ أَفْعَلْ ؟ قَالَ : تُعِينُ ضَايِعًا أَوْ تَصْنَعُ لِأَخْرَقَ ، قَالَ : فَإِنْ لَمْ أَفْعَلْ ؟ قَالَ : تَدَعُ النَّاسَ مِنَ الشَّرِّ ، فَإِنَّهَا صَدَقَةٌ تَصَدَّقُ بِهَا عَلَى نَفْسِكَ .

Urdu Translation

ہم سے عبیداللہ بن موسیٰ نے بیان کیا، کہا ہم سے ہشام بن عروہ نے، ان سے ان کے والد نے، ان سے ابومرواح نے اور ان سے ابوذر غفاری رضی اللہ عنہ نے کہ   میں نے رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم سے پوچھا کہ کون سا عمل افضل ہے، آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا کہ اللہ پر ایمان لانا اور اس کی راہ میں جہاد کرنا۔ میں نے پوچھا اور کس طرح کا غلام آزاد کرنا افضل ہے؟ آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا، جو سب سے زیادہ قیمتی ہو اور مالک کی نظر میں جو بہت زیادہ پسندیدہ ہو۔ میں نے عرض کیا کہ اگر مجھ سے یہ نہ ہو سکا؟ آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا، کہ پھر کسی مسلمان کاریگر کی مدد کر یا کسی بے ہنر کی۔ انہوں نے کہا کہ اگر میں یہ بھی نہ کر سکا؟ اس پر آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا کہ پھر لوگوں کو اپنے شر سے محفوظ کر دے کہ یہ بھی ایک صدقہ ہے جسے تم خود اپنے اوپر کرو گے۔

English Translation

Narrated Abu Dhar: I asked the Prophet, What is the best deed? He replied, To believe in Allah and to fight for His Cause. I then asked, What is the best kind of manumission (of slaves)? He replied, The manumission of the most expensive slave and the most beloved by his master. I said, If I cannot afford to do that? He said, Help the weak or do good for a person who cannot work for himself. I said, If I cannot do that? He said, Refrain from harming others for this will be regarded as a charitable deed for your own good.
