ما حدّثنا أبو سعيد أحمد بن يعقوب الثَّقَفي، حدّثنا الحسن بن علي بن شَبِيب المَعمَري، حدّثنا محمد بن المثنَّى، حدّثنا محمد بن جعفر، حدّثنا شعبة، أخبرني عُبَيْدٌ المُكتِب قال: سمعت أبا عمرو الشَّيباني يحدَّث عن رجلٍ من أصحاب النبيّ ﷺ قال: سُئِلَ رسولُ الله ﷺ: أيُّ الأعمال أفضلُ؟ قال: "الصلاةُ في أوَّل وقتِها" (1). الرجل هو عبد الله بن مسعود، لإجماع الرُّواة فيه على أبي عمرو الشَّيباني. ومنها:
It is narrated from one of the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) (Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him)) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked: "Which deeds are the most excellent?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Performing the prayer at the beginning of its time."
Imam al-Hakim says: The narrator here is Abdullah bin Mas'ud, because all the narrators agree on this from Abu Amr al-Shaybani.
