English translation

[250] 136 - (84) It was narrated that Abû Dharr said: "I said: 'O Messenger of Allâh, which deed is best?' He said: 'Faith in Allâh and Jihâd in His cause.' I said: 'Which slaves are the best (to set free)?' He said: 'Those who are most valuable to their masters and whose price is the highest.' I said: 'What if I cannot do that?' He said: 'Then help the one who is skilled, or do something for the one who is unskilled.' I said: 'O Messenger of Allâh, what do you think if I am unable to do any good deeds?' He said: 'Refrain from doing evil to people, for that is an act of charity on your part.'"

136 - (84) حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ الزَّهْرَانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا خَلَفُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ - وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ - حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي مُرَاوِحٍ اللَّيْثِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَيُّ الْأَعْمَالِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ: «الْإِيمَانُ بِاللهِ وَالْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِهِ» قَالَ: قُلْتُ: أَيُّ الرِّقَابِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ: «أَنْفَسُهَا عِنْدَ أَهْلِهَا وَأَكْثَرُهَا ثَمَنًا» قَالَ: قُلْتُ: فَإِنْ لَمْ أَفْعَلْ؟ قَالَ: «تُعِينُ صَانِعًا أَوْ تَصْنَعُ لِأَخْرَقَ» قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ ضَعُفْتُ عَنْ بَعْضِ الْعَمَلِ؟ قَالَ: «تَكُفُّ شَرَّكَ عَنِ النَّاسِ فَإِنَّهَا صَدَقَةٌ مِنْكَ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ»
