Abu Nasr Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn al-Hasan ibn Hamid ibn Harun ibn 'Abd al-Jabbar al-Bukhari, known as Ibn al-Niyazaki, informed us—this was a reading to him, and he affirmed it. He came to us as a pilgrim in Safar of the year 370. He said: Abu al-Khayr Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn al-Jalil ibn Khalid ibn Hurayth al-Bukhari al-Kirmani al-'Abqasi al-Bazzar informed us in the year 322. He said: Abu 'Abd Allah Muhammad ibn Isma'il ibn Ibrahim ibn al-Mughira ibn al-Ahnaf al-Ju'fi al-Bukhari [the name is written with anomalous diacritics in the source] narrated to us. He said: Abu al-Walid narrated to us. He said: Shu'ba narrated to us: al-Walid ibn al-'Ayzar informed me. He said: I heard Abu 'Amr al-Shaybani say: The occupant of this house narrated to us—and he gestured with his hand toward the house of 'Abd Allah. He said: I asked the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, “Which deed is most beloved to Allah, Mighty and Majestic?” He said: “Prayer at its appointed time.” I said: “Then which?” He said: “Then kindness to parents.” I said: “Then which?” He said: “Then jihad in the way of Allah.” He said: He told me these things; had I asked him for more, he would have given me more.
