Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) states: A man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah! Teach me a deed such that, when I do it, I will enter Paradise." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not associate anything as a partner with Allah, even if you are tortured or burned; obey your parents, even if they drive you out of your wealth and everything that is yours; do not abandon the prayer deliberately, for whoever abandons the prayer deliberately, the protection of Allah Almighty is free of him; do not drink wine, for it is the key to every evil; do not dispute authority with those who hold it, even if you think it is your right; spend on your family from your means; do not lift your staff from them; and keep them mindful of the fear of Allah Almighty."
Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat; its chain contains a narrator, Amr bin Waqid, whom Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him) and a group declared da'if (weak), while al-Thawri says: "He was saduq (truthful)."
