ثنا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ، ثنا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ الشَّاعِرِ ، ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حَفْصٍ ، أنا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ الْعَيْزَارِ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَمْرٍو الشَّيْبَانِيَّ ، نا صَاحِبُ هَذِهِ الدَّارِ ، وَأَشَارَ إِلَى دَارِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ وَلَمْ يُسَمِّهِ ، قَالَ : سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : أَيُّ الأَعْمَالِ أَفْضَلُ ؟ قَالَ : " الصَّلاةُ أَوَّلَ وَقْتِهَا " ، قُلْتُ : ثُمَّ مَاذَا ؟ قَالَ : " الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ " ، قُلْتُ : ثُمَّ مَاذَا ؟ قَالَ : " بِرُّ الْوَالِدَيْنِ " ، وَلَوِ اسْتَزَدْتُهُ لَزَادَنِي .
Amr Shaybani narrates: The owner of this house, while pointing towards the house of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), related this to us, but did not mention his name: I asked the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Which deed is the most virtuous?" He (peace be upon him) said: "To perform the prayer at its earliest time." I asked: "Then which one?" He said: "Striving in the way of Allah." I asked: "Then which one?" He said: "Treating parents with kindness." (Sayyiduna Abdullah, may Allah be pleased with him, says) If I had asked him further, he would have given me more answers.
