173. Abū 'Amr Ash-Shaibānī narrated: "A man said to Ibn Mas'ūd: 'Which deed is most virtuous?' He said: 'I asked Allāh's Messenger ﷺ (that). He said: 'Ṣalāt at the beginning of its time.' I asked him: "What is after that O Messenger of Allāh?" He said: "Being dutiful to one's parents." I said: "What is after that [O Messenger of Allāh]?" He said: "Jihād in the Way of Allāh."(Ṣaḥīḥ) Abū 'Eisā said: This Ḥadīth is Hasan Ṣaḥīḥ. Al-Mas'ūdī, Shu'bah, and [Sulaimān, who is Abū Ishāq] Ash- Shaibānī, and others reported this Hadīth from Al-Walīd Al-'Ayzār. (a narrator in the chain of this Hadīth.)
