Hadith of the Week - Best of Good Deeds

السلام علیکم و رحمۃ اللہ و برکۃ

 

عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ رَضِيَ الله عَنْهُ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَوْصِنِي.

قَالَ: "إِذَا عَمِلْتَ سَيِّئَةً فَأَتْبِعْهَا حَسَنةً تَمْحُهَا".

قِيلَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَمِنَ الْحَسَنَاتِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ؟

 قَالَ: "هِيَ أَفْضَلُ الْحَسَنَاتِ"
