The Best Deed
From Abu Dharr who said: I said O Messenger of Allaah
advise me. So he - sallAllaahu alayhi wa
sallam – said:
إِذَا عَمِلْتَ سَيِّئَةً فَأَتْبِعْهَا حَسَنَةً تَمْحُهَا
“If you do a bad deed then follow it up with a good
deed and it will wipe it out.”
Then Abu Dharr said: I asked O Messenger of Allaah is
‘La illah ill Allaah from the good deeds?
He –sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam- said:
هِيَ أَفْضَلُ الْحَسَنَاتِ
‘It is the best of good deeds.’
