Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ وَحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ وَأَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَيُّ الْأَعْمَالِ أَفْضَلُ فَقَالَ الصَّلَاةُ لِوَقْتِهَا وَبِرُّ الْوَالِدَيْنِ وَالْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَلَوْ اسْتَزَدْتُ لَزَادَنِي قَالَ حُسَيْنٌ اسْتَزَدْتُهُ.
English Translation
I asked the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him): 'Which deeds are best?' He said: 'Prayer at its proper time, honoring one's parents, and jihad in the cause of Allah.' Had I asked him for more, he would have given me more.
