حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ
قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَيُّ الْعَمَلِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ: الصَّلَاةُ لِوَقْتِهَا. قَالَ: قُلْتُ: ثُمَّ أَيٌّ؟ قَالَ: بِرُّ الْوَالِدَيْنِ. قَالَ: قُلْتُ: ثُمَّ أَيٌّ؟ قَالَ: الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ. وَلَوِ اسْتَزَدْتُهُ لَزَادَنِي.
