Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.

Ahmad ibn Muhammad narrated to us: ‘Abd Allah ibn al-Mubarak informed us, from al-Mas‘udi, from al-Walid ibn al-‘Ayzar, from Abu ‘Amr al-Shaybani, from Ibn Mas‘ud, who said: I asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), “Messenger of Allah, which deeds are best?” He replied, “Prayer at its appointed time.” I asked, “Then what, Messenger of Allah?” He replied, “Dutifulness to one’s parents.” I asked, “Then what, Messenger of Allah?” He replied, “Striving in the way of Allah.” Then the Messenger of Allah fell silent toward me. Had I asked him for more, he would have given me more.

Abu ‘Isa said: This hadith is hasan sahih. Al-Shaybani, Shu‘bah, and more than one other narrator transmitted it from al-Walid ibn al-‘Ayzar. This hadith has also been transmitted by other routes from Abu ‘Amr al-Shaybani, from Ibn Mas‘ud. Abu ‘Amr al-Shaybani was named Sa‘d ibn Iyas.
