Sulayman asked, "Tell me Abu Hazim! Who is the most honourable among the servants of Allah?"
"Those who are mindful of their fellow human beings, and those who possess wisdom."
"What is best among good deeds?"
"Fulfilling the obligations laid down by Allah, and keeping away from what He has forbidden."
"Which is the prayer more likely to be accepted by Allah?"
"The prayer of a person for someone who has done some act of kindness towards him."
"Which is the best form of charity?"
"Giving as much as one can, even when one doesn't have much, to a person in dire need, in a way that he doesn't embarrass him before giving, and does not torture him by delaying it unnecessarily."
"Which is the best form of speech?"
"Speaking the truth plainly and with complete honesty in front of someone who one is afraid of, or from whom one is expecting some favour."
