He was asked: "And which charity is the most virtuous?" He replied : The efforts (in charity) of one who is destitute." He was asked: "And which type of emigration (Hijrah) is the most virtuous?" He replied: "The one who emigrated (left) what Allah what Allah had prohibited him from." He was asked: "And which type of Jihad is the most virtuous?" He said: "He who performed Jihad (strived) against the pagans with his wealth and life." He was asked: And what type of martyrdom is the most honorable?"
