Which Deeds are the Best?
In the following two hadiths, those deeds are mentioned which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ declared to be the best of deeds:
1. Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah ؓ says that the Companions asked the Prophet ﷺ: "Which deed is the best?" He replied: "To have faith in Allah and His Messenger." The Companions asked: "Then which?" He said: "Jihad in the path of Allah." They asked: "After that, which one?" He said: "A Hajj that is accepted." [بخاری۔ کتاب الایمان۔ باب من قال ان الایمان ھو العمل]
2. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud ؓ says that I asked the Prophet ﷺ: "Which deed does Allah love the most?" He replied: "To perform prayer at its appointed time." I asked: "Then which deed?" He said: "To treat parents well." I asked: "Then which deed?" He said: "Jihad in the path of Allah." The Prophet ﷺ mentioned these three things; if I had asked further, he would have mentioned more. [بخاری۔ کتاب مواقیت الصلوٰۃ۔ باب فضل الصلٰوۃ لوقتھا]
