Someone once asked Ibn ‘Abbas, “among all the days what is the best day?” He replied, “The day of Jum’ah.” He was again asked, “What is the best month?” He replied, “The best month of Ramadan.” He was then asked, “What is the best deed?” He replied, “To establish the five daily prayers at the appointed hours.” After three days, when ‘Ali was informed of Ibn ‘Abbas’s answers to those questions, he remarked, “If all the scholars, sages and jurists from the East to the West were asked of those questions, they could not have answered in a better way. But let me state that the best deed is the one that is accepted by Allah. The best month is that month in which you returned to Allah after repenting for your sins. And the best day is that day in which you leave this world to meet Allah, the Exalted, with your faith intact.”
