حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ الْمَکِّيُّ حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ الْفَزَارِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو يَعْفُورٍ عَنْ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ الْعَيْزَارِ عَنْ أَبِي عَمْرٍو الشَّيْبَانِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ أَيُّ الْأَعْمَالِ أَقْرَبُ إِلَی الْجَنَّةِ قَالَ الصَّلَاةُ عَلَی مَوَاقِيتِهَا قُلْتُ وَمَاذَا يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ قَالَ بِرُّ الْوَالِدَيْنِ قُلْتُ وَمَاذَا يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ قَالَ الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ

صحیح مسلم · Hadith 253

It is narrated on the authority of 'Abdullah b. Mas'ud that he observed. I asked the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) which deed was the best. He (the Holy Prophet) replied: Prayer at its appointed hour. I (again) said: Then what? He (the Holy Prophet) replied: Kindness to the parents. I (again) said: Then what? He replied: Earnest endeavour (Jihad) in the cause of Allah. And I would have not ceased asking more questions but out of regard (for his feelings).
