وحَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ الْعَنْبَرِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ الْعَيْزَارِ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا عَمْرٍو الشَّيْبَانِيَّ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي صَاحِبُ هَذِهِ الدَّارِ ، وَأَشَارَ إِلَى دَارِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَيُّ الْأَعْمَالِ أَحَبُّ إِلَى اللَّهِ ؟ قَالَ : الصَّلَاةُ عَلَى وَقْتِهَا ، قُلْتُ : ثُمَّ أَيٌّ ؟ قَالَ : ثُمَّ بِرُّ الْوَالِدَيْنِ ، قُلْتُ : ثُمَّ أَيٌّ ؟ قَالَ : ثُمَّ الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ " ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي بِهِنَّ : وَلَوِ اسْتَزَدْتُهُ لَزَادَنِي .
It was heard from Abu 'Amr Shaibani that, pointing towards the house of 'Abdullah, he said: The owner of this house told me that he asked the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) : Which of the deeds are liked by Allah? He (the Holy Prophet) observed: Prayer at its proper time. I (again) said: What next? He replied: Then goodness to the parents. I (again) said: What then? He replied: Then Jihad in the cause of Allah. He (''Abdullah) said: This is what I was told (by the Holy Prophet). Had I questioned further, he would have made additions for me.
