“I (Abu Dharr) asked the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be
upon him, „Which deeds are best?‟ He replied, „The belief in Allah
and fighting in the Way of Allah.‟ I asked, „The freeing of which slave
is best?‟ He replied, „The one whom his master likes best and
whose value is highest.‟ I asked, „What if one is unable to do that?‟
He replied, „Then help someone with his work, or do something for
someone who is unable to do it himself.‟ I asked, „What if one does
not have the strength?‟ He replied, „Then restrain yourself from
harming anyone because that also is charity for yourself.‟"
Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Abu Dharr who related that the Messenger
of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
KINDNESS TOWARDS THOSE WHO YOUR
RIGHT HAND OWNS
