The Best and Purest of Your Deeds — the Remembrance of Allah
أَلاَ أُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِخَيْرِ أَعْمَالِكُمْ وَأَزْكَاهَا عِنْدَ مَلِيكِكُمْ وَأَرْفَعِهَا فِي دَرَجَاتِكُمْ وَخَيْرٌ لَكُمْ مِنْ إِنْفَاقِ الذَّهَبِ وَالْوَرِقِ وَخَيْرٌ لَكُمْ مِنْ أَنْ تَلْقَوْا عَدُوَّكُمْ فَتَضْرِبُوا أَعْنَاقَهُمْ وَيَضْرِبُوا أَعْنَاقَكُمْ. قَالُوا بَلَى. قَالَ ذِكْرُ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى

Ala unabbi'ukum bikhayri a'malikum wa azkaha 'inda malikikum wa arfa'iha fi darajatikum, wa khayrun lakum min infaqidh-dhahabi wal-wariq, wa khayrun lakum min an talqaw 'aduwwakum fatadribu a'naqahum wa yadribu a'naqakum? Qalu: bala. Qal: dhikrullahi ta'ala
Translation
Narrated Abu ad-Darda (RA): The Prophet (SAW) said, "Shall I not tell you of the best of your deeds, the purest of them with your Master, the highest of them in raising your ranks, better for you than spending gold and silver, and better for you than meeting your enemy and striking their necks while they strike yours?" They said, "Certainly." He said, "The remembrance of Allah."
