5003. It was narrated from ‘Abdullāh bin ‘Amr that a man asked the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ: “What quality of Islam is best?” He said: “To feed (the poor) and to say the Salām to whomever one knows and whomever one does not know.” (Sahih)

Arabic text

5000 - أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الْخَيْرِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، أَنَّ رَجُلًا سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: أَيُّ الْإِسْلَامِ خَيْرٌ؟ قَالَ: «تُطْعِمُ الطَّعَامَ وَتَقْرَأُ السَّلَامَ عَلَى مَنْ عَرَفْتَ، وَمَنْ لَمْ تَعْرِفْ»

Commentary

In response to the question of the most meritorious deed, different narrations have come. This difference is from the dimension of different individuals and circumstances. It would, therefore, not be considered contradiction. (For details, please turn to Hadīth 4989)
