Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمٌ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ بْنِ أَوْفَى الْعَامِرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِذَا بَاتَتْ الْمَرْأَةُ هَاجِرَةً لِفِرَاشِ زَوْجِهَا لَعَنَتْهَا الْمَلَائِكَةُ حَتَّى تَرْجِعَ.
English Translation
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: 'The most beloved people to Allah are those who are most beneficial to people. And the most beloved deed to Allah the Almighty is happiness that you bring to a Muslim, or relieve him of distress, or pay off his debt, or drive away his hunger. To walk with my Muslim brother in his need is more beloved to me than to make i'tikaf (spiritual retreat) in this mosque for a month.'
