Sahih al-Bukhari 2784

Hadith text

Narrated `Aisha:(That she said), "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! We consider Jihad as the best deed. Should we not fight in Allah's Cause?" He said, "The best Jihad (for women) is Hajj-Mabrur (i.e. Hajj which is done according to the Prophet's tradition and is accepted by Allah)

Ayesha bataati hain: "Ya Allah ke Rasool! Hum Jihad ko sabse behtareen amal samajhte hain. Kya humein Allah ki raah mein jung nahi karni chahiye?" Aap ne kaha: "(Auraton ke liye) sabse behtareen Jihad Hajj-e-Mabrur hai (yaani Hajj jo Nabi ki sunnat ke mutabiq kiya jaaye aur jise Allah qubool kar le)."
