Riyad as-Salihin 844 (Book 5, Hadith 1) #37333
The Best Act in Islam

SUMMARY: The best act in Islam is to give food and greet everyone, regardless of whether you know them or not.

Abdullah bin 'Amr bin Al-'as (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: A man asked the Messenger of Allah : "Which act in Islam is the best?" He replied, "To give food, and to greet everyone, whether you know or you do not". Al-Bukhari and Muslim.
وعن عبد الله بن عمرو بن العاص رضي الله عنهما أن رجلا سأل رسول الله ‏:‏ أي الإسلام خير‏؟‏ قال‏:‏ ‏ "‏تطعم الطعام، وتقرأ السلام على من عرفت ومن لم تعرف‏"‏‏.‏ ‏(‏‏(‏متفق عليه‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

Give food & greet everyone with salaam

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith from the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ teaches us that giving food and greeting people are two of the best acts one can do in Islam. Giving food is an act of charity, which is highly encouraged in Islam. It shows kindness and generosity towards others, especially those who are less fortunate than us. Similarly, greeting people with salaam is also a sign of respect and kindness towards others. It shows that we care about them and want to make sure they feel welcome when we meet them. These two acts demonstrate our commitment to being good Muslims by showing compassion for our fellow human beings regardless of whether we know them or not.
