English translation

It is narrated from Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once a man came to the service of the Noble Prophet (ﷺ). The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) was at that time throwing pebbles at the Jamarat. The man asked, "O Messenger of Allah! Which jihad is the most beloved to Allah Almighty?" The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) remained silent. Then he came again to the second Jamrah and repeated the same question. The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) again remained silent. Then he came again to the third Jamrah and repeated the same question. So the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "It is to speak the truth before a tyrant ruler."
