حَدَّثَنِي سُلَيْمَانُ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ الْوَلِيدِ ح و حَدَّثَنِي عَبَّادُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ الْأَسَدِيُّ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبَّادُ بْنُ الْعَوَّامِ عَنْ الشَّيْبَانِيِّ عَنْ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ الْعَيْزَارِ عَنْ أَبِي عَمْرٍو الشَّيْبَانِيِّ عَنْ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَجُلًا سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَيُّ الْأَعْمَالِ أَفْضَلُ قَالَ الصَّلَاةُ لِوَقْتِهَا وَبِرُّ الْوَالِدَيْنِ ثُمَّ الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 7534
Narrated Ibn Mas`ud: A man asked the Prophet "What deeds are the best?" The Prophet said: (1) To perform the (daily compulsory) prayers at their (early) stated fixed times, (2) To be good and dutiful to one's own parents. (3) and to participate in Jihad in Allah's Cause."
