لَأَنْ أُطْعِمَ مُؤْمِناً مُحْتَاجاً أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ أَزُورَهُ وَ لَأَنْ أَزُورَهُ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ أُعْتِقَ عَشْرَ رِقَابٍ .
Translation
Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Al Husayn, from Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Salih Bin Uqba, from Rifa’at, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘If I<sup>asws</sup> were to feed a needy <span class="iTxt">Momin</span>, it would be more beloved to me<sup>asws</sup> than if I<sup>asws</sup> were to visit him; and if I<sup>asws</sup> were to visit him, it would be more beloved to me<sup>asws</sup> than if I<sup>asws</sup> were to free ten necks’.
