ARABIC

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الْخَيْرِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، أَنَّ رَجُلاً قَالَ‏:‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَيُّ الإِسْلاَمِ خَيْرٌ‏؟‏ قَالَ‏:‏ تُطْعِمُ الطَّعَامَ، وَتُقْرِئُ السَّلاَمَ عَلَى مَنْ عَرَفْتَ وَمَنْ لَمْ تَعْرِفْ‏.‏
