Chapter: Belief in Allah is the most virtuous of deeds

Abu Huraira reported:
The Messenger of Allah was asked about the best of deeds. He observed: Belief in Allah. He (the inquirer) said: What next? He (the Holy Prophet) replied: Jihad (struggle to the utmost) in the cause of Allah. He (the inquirer) again said: What next? He (the Holy Prophet) replied: Pilgrimage accepted into the grace of the Lord. In the. tradition narrated on the authority of Muhammad b. Ja'far (the words are) that he (the Holy Prophet) said: Belief in Allah and His Messenger. Muhammad b. Rafi and 'Abd b. Humaid, 'Abdur-Razzaq and Ma'mar and Zuhri have narrated a hadith like this on the authority of the same chain of transmitters.

Explanation
-Birr is all goodness, it can also mean acceptance, also reward, also no sin, also no deception
-The Hadeeth means be good to your parents by making things easy for them, if you can't then employ someone who will and if you can't then don't be harmful to people - this will be a Sadaqah to yourself from yourself. 
-Shahaadatayn is included in Amaal
-Different narrations have different acts of Fada'il that's because the Haal is different, like Surah al-Balad, Qaadhee
-al-Baghawee states that in Udhiyah the more expensive the animal the better because we want the best kind of meat. But in freeing slaves the cheaper the better because we want to free as many as possible.

Sharh Muslim (2/83-92)

And Allah Knows best
