5970. Narrated Al-Walīd bin 'Aizār: I heard Abū 'Amr Ash-Shaibānī saying, "The owner of this house," he pointed to 'Abdullāh's house, "said, 'I asked the Prophet ﷺ: Which deed is loved most by Allāh? He replied: To offer Aṣ-Ṣalāt (the prayers) at their early (very first) stated times. 'Abdullāh asked: What is the next (in goodness)? The Prophet ﷺ said: To be good and dutiful to one's parents. 'Abdullāh asked: What is the next (in goodness)? The Prophet ﷺ said: To participate in Jihād for Allāh's Cause. 'Abdullāh added: The Prophet ﷺ narrated to me these things, and if I had asked more, he would have told me more.'"
