وعن أبي ذر رضي الله عنه
قال: قلت: يا رسول الله أي الأعمال أفضل؟ قال: «الإيمان بالله، والجهاد في سبيل الله«قلت: أي الرقاب أفضل؟ قال: «أنفسها عند أهلها وأكثرها ثمنًا»
I asked the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), “Which deed is most excellent?” He replied, “Faith in Allah and Jihad in His path.” I then asked, “Which slaves are most excellent (to set free)?” He replied, “Those who are held in high esteem by their people and whose value is higher.”.
