الإيمَانُ بِاللهِ قَالَ ثُمَّ مَا ذَا قَالَ ثُمَّ صِلَةُ الرَّحِمِ قَالَ ثُمَّ مَا ذَا قَالَ الأمْرُ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَالنَّهْيُ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ قَالَ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ فَأَيُّ الأعْمَالِ أَبْغَضُ إِلَى اللهِ قَالَ الشِّرْكُ بِاللهِ قَالَ ثُمَّ مَا ذَا قَالَ قَطِيعَةُ الرَّحِمِ قَالَ ثُمَّ مَا ذَا قَالَ الأمْرُ بِالْمُنْكَرِ وَالنَّهْيُ عَنِ الْمَعْرُوفِ‏.
