Lady Umm Farwah (may Allah be pleased with her), who was among those who pledged allegiance to the Noble Prophet (peace be upon him), narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) was asked: "Which deed is the best?" He (peace be upon him) replied: "To perform the prayer at its earliest time."
