بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

Imam Zayn ad-Din Abu al-Faraj ‘Abd ar-Rahman ibn Ahmad ibn Rajab al-Hanbali (r.a.) wrote, in Latha’if al-Ma’arif fi ma li Mawasim al-‘Aam min al-Wazha’if, “Some of the Salaf asw-Swalihin said, ‘The best of actions is having a sound heart, generosity of the soul and to give sincere counsel to the community.’  By these traits, ranks are reached that are not achieved by excessive striving in fasting and ritual prayer.”
