The Source of Traditions on Imam al-Riḍā (Vol 2) · Hadith 20 (#Ḥadīth #20)

20 - وَبِهذَا الإِسنادِ قالَ: قالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُعَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ: أَفْضَلُ الأَعمَالِ عِنْدَاللَّه عَزَّ وَجَلَّ إِيمانٍ لا شَكَّ فِيهِ؛ وَغَزوٌ لا غُلُولَ فِيهِ وَحَجٌّ مَبرُورٍ؛ وَأَوَّلُّ مَن يَدْخُلُ الجَنَّةَ شَهِيدٌ وَعَبْدٍ مَملُوكٌ أَحْسَنَ عِبَادَةَ رَبِّهِ؛ وَنَصَحَ لِسَيِّدهِ؛ وَرَجُلٌ عَفِيفٌ مُتَعَفِّفٌ ذو عِيالٍ؛ وَأَوَّلُ مَن يَدْخُلُ النَّارَ أَمِيرٌ مُتَسَلِّطٌ لَم يَعدِل؛ وَذو ثَروَةٍ مِنَ المالَ لَمْ يُعطِ المالَ حَقَّهُ؛ وَفَقِيرٌ فَخُورٌ.

31-20 According to the same documentation, God’s Prophet (S) said, “The noblest deeds in the presence of the Honorable the Exalted God are having faith without any doubt, fighting in which there is no greed for booties, and an accepted Hajj pilgrimage. The first people who enter Paradise are the martyrs in the way of God, slaves who kindly obey their master’s orders and are sincere with them, and married men who are chaste. The first people who enter Hell are rulers in command who do not rule with justice, rich men who do not pay what is due on their wealth, and poor people who are arrogant.”
