1 – (Sound) Abu al-Dardāʾ, may Allah be pleased with him, reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:

“Shall I not tell you of the finest of your deeds, the purest of them in your Lord’s estimation, the highest of them in elevating your ranks; deeds better for you than giving away gold and silver, and better than meeting your enemy in battle, striking their necks and having them strike yours?”

They replied, “Indeed, O Messenger of Allah.”

He said, “The remembrance of Allah.”
