حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ وَحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ وَأَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ

سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ: أَيُّ الْأَعْمَالِ أَفْضَلُ؟ فَقَالَ: الصَّلَاةُ لِوَقْتِهَا، وَبِرُّ الْوَالِدَيْنِ، وَالْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ، وَلَوِ اسْتَزَدْتُ لَزَادَنِي،
