English narration

Narrated by عبد الله بن مسعود

I asked Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! What is the best deed?" He replied, "To offer the prayers at their early stated fixed times." I asked, "What is next in goodness?" He replied, "To be good and dutiful to your parents." I further asked, what is next in goodness?" He replied, "To participate in Jihad in Allah's Cause." I did not ask Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) anymore and if I had asked him more, he would have told me more.

النص العربي

حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ صَبَّاحٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَابِقٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ مِغْوَلٍ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ الْوَلِيدَ بْنَ الْعَيْزَارِ ذَكَرَ ، عَنْ أَبِي عَمْرٍو الشَّيْبَانِيِّ ، قَالَ : قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، سَأَلْت رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَيُّ الْعَمَلِ أَفْضَلُ ؟ قَالَ : "

الصَّلَاةُ عَلَى مِيقَاتِهَا ، قُلْتُ : ثُمَّ أَيٌّ ، قَالَ : ثُمَّ بِرُّ الْوَالِدَيْنِ ، قُلْتُ : ثُمَّ أَيٌّ ، قَالَ : الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ، فَسَكَتُّ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَلَوِ اسْتَزَدْتُهُ لَزَادَنِي
