حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ، عَنِ الشَّيْبَانِيِّ، عَنِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ الْعَيْزَارِ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ إِيَاسٍ أَبِي عَمْرٍو الشَّيْبَانِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَىُّ الْعَمَلِ أَفْضَلُ قَالَ " الصَّلاَةُ لِوَقْتِهَا " . قَالَ قُلْتُ ثُمَّ أَىٌّ قَالَ " بِرُّ الْوَالِدَيْنِ " . قَالَ قُلْتُ ثُمَّ أَىٌّ قَالَ " الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ " . فَمَا تَرَكْتُ أَسْتَزِيدُهُ إِلاَّ إِرْعَاءً عَلَيْهِ .
Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah narrated to us; Ali ibn Mushir narrated to us, from al-Shaybani, from al-Walid ibn al-Ayzar, from Sa'd ibn Iyas Abu Amr al-Shaybani, from Abdullah ibn Mas'ud, who said: I asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), ‘Which deed is best?’ He replied: ‘Prayer at its appointed time.’ I asked: ‘Then which?’ He said: ‘Kindness to one's parents.’ I asked: ‘Then which?’ He said: ‘Striving in the cause of Allah.’ I continued to ask him for more, but held back out of consideration for him.
