Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that a man came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah, teach me a deed which, if I do it, I will enter Paradise." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not associate anything with Allah, even if you are tortured and burnt. Obey your parents, even if they drive you out of your wealth and everything you own. Do not abandon the prayer deliberately, for whoever abandons the prayer deliberately, the protection of Allah is lifted from him. Do not drink wine, for it is the key to every evil. Do not dispute with those in authority over the matter of rule, even if you think that it is your right. Spend on your family according to your means, do not lift your stick from them (in disciplining them), and keep them in fear regarding Allah."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Yunus except Amr bin Waqid, and it is narrated from Sayyiduna Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) only with this chain."
