English Translation
The companion of this house - and he pointed with his hand to the house of Abdullah bin Mas'ud - narrated that he asked the Prophet ﷺ: 'Which deed is most beloved to Allah?' He said: 'Prayer at its proper time.' He said: 'Then which?' He said: 'Honoring one's parents.' He said: 'Then which?' He said: 'Jihad in the way of Allah.' He said: 'He specified these for me, and if I had asked for more, he would have told me more.'
