(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا
يَزِيدُ ،
وَأَبُو النَّضْرِ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا
الْمَسْعُودِيُّ ، عَنِ
الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ الْعَيْزَارِ ، عَنْ
أَبِي عَمْرٍو الشَّيْبَانِيِّ ، عَنْ
عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ، قَالَ : سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَيُّ الْأَعْمَالِ أَفْضَلُ ؟ قَالَ : " الصَّلَاةُ لِمِيقَاتِهَا " ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : ثُمَّ مَاذَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ؟ قَالَ : " بِرُّ الْوَالِدَيْنِ " ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : ثُمَّ مَاذَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ؟ قَالَ : " الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ " ، قَالَ : فَسَكَتُّ ، وَلَوْ اسْتَزَدْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَزَادَنِي .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Which deed is most beloved to Allah?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Prayer at its proper time." I asked: "Then what?" He said: "Good treatment of parents." I asked: "Then what?" He said: "Striving in the way of Allah." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned these things to me, and if I had asked for more, he (peace and blessings be upon him) would have told me more.
