The best of you are those who feed others
feed the hungry

خِيَارُكُمْ مَنْ أَطْعَمَ الطَّعَامَ
﴾ The best of you are those who feed others ﴿
Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ)
Musnad Ahmad 23408
The best Muslims are peace-makers and peace-spreaders, as well as charitable towards others. They reconcile with those who wrong them, end conflicts between people, and spend their time, money, and effort in service to others.
Abdullah ibn Amr reported: A man asked the Prophet, “Which Islam is best?” The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “To feed the hungry and to greet with peace those you know and those you do not know.”
Ammar ibn Yasir said, “Whoever has three qualities will have completed the faith: fairness from yourself to others, offering peace to the world, and spending in charity even while poor.”

عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو أَنَّ رَجُلاً سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَىُّ الإِسْلاَمِ خَيْرٌ قَالَ تُطْعِمُ الطَّعَامَ وَتَقْرَأُ السَّلاَمَ عَلَى مَنْ عَرَفْتَ وَمَنْ لَمْ تَعْرِفْ
قَالَ عَمَّارٌ ثَلَاثٌ مَنْ جَمَعَهُنَّ فَقَدْ جَمَعَ الْإِيمَانَ الْإِنْصَافُ مِنْ نَفْسِكَ وَبَذْلُ السَّلَامِ لِلْعَالَمِ وَالْإِنْفَاقُ مِنْ الْإِقْتَارِ
