حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ، هِشَامُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ الْعَيْزَارِ أَخْبَرَنِي قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَمْرٍو الشَّيْبَانِيَّ، يَقُولُ حَدَّثَنَا صَاحِبُ، هَذِهِ الدَّارِ وَأَشَارَ إِلَى دَارِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَىُّ الْعَمَلِ أَحَبُّ إِلَى اللَّهِ قَالَ " الصَّلاَةُ عَلَى وَقْتِهَا ". قَالَ ثُمَّ أَىُّ قَالَ " ثُمَّ بِرُّ الْوَالِدَيْنِ ". قَالَ ثُمَّ أَىُّ قَالَ " الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ". قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي بِهِنَّ وَلَوِ اسْتَزَدْتُهُ لَزَادَنِي.
Abu al-Walid Hisham bin ‘Abd al-Malik narrated to us: Shu‘ba narrated to us: al-Walid bin al-‘Aizar informed me: I heard Abu ‘Amr al-Shaibani say: The inhabitant of this house—pointing to ‘Abdullah’s house—narrated to us: I asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), ‘Which deed is most beloved to Allah?’ He said, ‘Prayer at its proper time.’ I asked, ‘Then which?’ He said, ‘Kindness to parents.’ I asked, ‘Then which?’ He said, ‘Striving in the path of Allah.’ He added, ‘He told me these; had I asked him for more, he would have told me more.’
