Sunan an-Nasai 2628 (Book 24, Hadith 10) #17239
The Beauty of Hajj

SUMMARY: The best and most beautiful type of jihad is Hajj to the House.

The Mother of the Believers, 'Aishah, said: "I said: 'O Messenger of allah, shall we not go out and fight in jihad with you, for I do not think there is any deed in the qur'an that is better than jihad'. He said: 'No. the best and most beautiful (type) of jihad is Hajj to the House; Hajj Al-Mabrur''.(sahih)
أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ حَبِيبٍ، - وَهُوَ ابْنُ أَبِي عَمْرَةَ - عَنْ عَائِشَةَ بِنْتِ طَلْحَةَ، قَالَتْ أَخْبَرَتْنِي أُمُّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، عَائِشَةُ قَالَتْ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَلاَ نَخْرُجُ فَنُجَاهِدَ مَعَكَ فَإِنِّي لاَ أَرَى عَمَلاً فِي الْقُرْآنِ أَفْضَلَ مِنَ الْجِهَادِ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏ "‏ لاَ وَلَكُنَّ أَحْسَنُ الْجِهَادِ وَأَجْمَلُهُ حَجُّ الْبَيْتِ حَجٌّ مَبْرُورٌ

QUICK LESSONS:
Strive for excellence in all our deeds and actions ; perform pilgrimage ; help those who are less fortunate ; be kind towards others .

EXPLANATIONS:
In this hadith, Aishah asked the Prophet Muhammad if they could go out and fight in jihad with him. However, he replied that the best and most beautiful type of jihad is performing a pilgrimage to the Kaaba in Makkah known as Hajj Al-Mabrur. This means that although physical fighting for a good cause can be considered an act of worship in Islam, it is not necessarily better than other forms such as performing pilgrimage to Makkah or even doing good deeds like helping others or being kind to people around you. Therefore, this hadith teaches us that we should strive for excellence in all our deeds and actions regardless if it’s physical or spiritual because Allah will reward us accordingly for our efforts.
