1658. Abū Hurairah, may Allāh be pleased with him, narrated: “The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ was asked: ‘Which deed is the most virtuous? And which deed is the best?’ He ﷺ said: ‘Faith in Allāh and His Messenger.’ It was said: ‘Then what?’ He said: ‘Jihād is the hump (the most prominent) of the deeds.’ Then what O the Messenger of Allāh? He said: ‘Then Hajj Mabrūr’”[1] (Hasan) [Abū ‘Īsā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Sahīh, it has been reported through other routes from Abū Hurairah from the Prophet ﷺ.

١٦٥٨ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌عَبْدَةُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ، عَنْ ‌مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌أَبُو سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: «سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَيُّ الْأَعْمَالِ أَفْضَلُ وَأَيُّ الْأَعْمَالِ خَيْرٌ؟» قَالَ: إِيمَانٌ بِاللهِ وَرَسُولِهِ قِيلَ: ثُمَّ أَيُّ شَيْءٍ؟ قَالَ: الْجِهَادُ سَنَامُ الْعَمَلِ. قِيلَ: ثُمَّ أَيُّ شَيْءٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ: ثُمَّ حَجٌّ مَبْرُورٌ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ. قَدْ رُوِيَ مِنْ غَيْرِ وَجْهٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ.
