حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنٌ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَارِثُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رَبَاحٍ أَنَّهُ: سَمِعَ جُنَادَةَ بْنَ أَبِي أُمَيَّةَ يَقُولُ:، ، سَمِعْتُ عُبَادَةَ بْنَ الصَّامِتِ يَقُولُ: إِنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ، أَيُّ الْعَمَلِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ: " الْإِيمَانُ بِاللهِ وَتَصْدِيقٌ بِهِ وَجِهَادٌ فِي سَبِيلِهِ ". قَالَ: أُرِيدُ أَهْوَنَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ. قَالَ: " السَّمَاحَةُ وَالصَّبْرُ ". قَالَ: أُرِيدُ أَهْوَنَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ. قَالَ: " لَا تَتَّهِمِ اللهَ فِي شَيْءٍ قَضَى لَكَ بِهِ " (١)، ،

English translation

It is narrated from Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I submitted in the presence of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), "O Messenger of Allah, which is the most virtuous deed?" The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "To have faith in Allah, to affirm Him, and to strive in His path." The questioner submitted, "O Messenger of Allah! I am asking about a rank lower than that." The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Gentleness of nature and patience." The questioner submitted, "O Messenger of Allah! I am asking about a rank even lower than that." He said, "Do not have bad assumptions about Allah regarding what Allah has decreed for you."
