The Apparent Conflict Between Two Hadiths on the Best of Deeds
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, it is reported in a hadith of Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the best of deeds is faith in Allah, and in another hadith it is stated that at their prescribed times. Is there a conflict between them?
Answer:
There is no conflict. First, the deeds are: prayer at its prescribed time comes after faith in Allah, because prayer at its prescribed time is not valid if there is no faith. So, prayer at its prescribed time is the best of deeds after faith in Allah (Mighty and Majestic), as faith is a condition for the validity of the prayer.
