Sayyiduna Ma'iz (may Allah be pleased with him) reports about the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he was asked: Which deed is most virtuous? He said: "Faith in Allah Almighty alone (that is, faith in the Oneness of Allah Almighty), then jihad, and then an accepted (mabrur) Hajj; it excels all other deeds as (the distance) between the rising of the sun and its setting."
Imam Ahmad recorded it, and Imam al-Tabarani in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir, and Imam Ahmad's narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.
