Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنٌ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَطَاءٍ عَنْ يَزِيدَ يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي زِيَادٍ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ قَالَ خَرَجَ إِلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ أَتَدْرُونَ أَيُّ الْأَعْمَالِ أَحَبُّ إِلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ قَالَ قَائِلٌ الصَّلَاةُ وَالزَّكَاةُ وَقَالَ قَائِلٌ الْجِهَادُ قَالَ إِنَّ أَحَبَّ الْأَعْمَالِ إِلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ الْحُبُّ فِي اللَّهِ وَالْبُغْضُ فِي اللَّهِ.
English Translation
Husayn narrated to us: Yazid -- meaning Ibn Ata' -- narrated to us, from Yazid -- meaning Ibn Abi Ziyad -- from Mujahid, from a man, from Abu Dharr, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, came out to us and said: "Do you know which deeds are most beloved to Allah, Mighty and Majestic is He?" One person said: "Prayer and zakah." Another said: "Jihad." He said: "The deeds most beloved to Allah, Mighty and Majestic is He, are loving for Allah's sake and hating for Allah's sake."
