ثنا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ثنا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ الشَّاعِرِ ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حَفْصٍ أنا شُعْبَةُ عَنِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ الْعَيْزَارِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَمْرٍو الشَّيْبَانِيَّ نا صَاحِبُ هَذِهِ الدَّارِ وَأَشَارَ إِلَى دَارِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ وَلَمْ يُسَمِّهِ قَالَ
سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَيُّ الْأَعْمَالِ أَفْضَلُ قَالَ الصَّلَاةُ أَوَّلَ وَقْتِهَا قُلْتُ ثُمَّ مَاذَا قَالَ الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ قُلْتُ ثُمَّ مَاذَا قَالَ بِرُّ الْوَالِدَيْنِ وَلَوِ اسْتَزَدْتُهُ لَزَادَنِي

I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: "Which deeds are best?" He said: "Prayer at the beginning of its time." I said: "Then what?" He said: "Jihad in the way of Allah." I said: "Then what?" He said: "Kindness to one's parents." And had I asked him for more, he would have given me more.

سئل عن حديث أبي عمرو الشيباني عن ابن مسعود عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أفضل الأعمال الصلاة لوقتها فقال يرويه الوليد بن العيزار والحسن بن عبيد الله وأبو معاوية عمرو بن عبد الله النخعي وهو والد أبي داود النخعي وسليمان الأعمش وبيان بن بشر واختلف عن الوليد بن العيزار في لفظ الحديث واختلف عن بيان في إسناده ورواه عبيد المكتب عن أبي عمرو الشيباني عن رجل لم يسمه فأما الخلاف عن الوليد بن العيزار فإن عثمان بن عمر رواه عن مالك بن مغول عنه قال فيه أفضل الأعمال الصلاة لأول وقتها وكذلك قال علي بن حفص المدائني عن شعبة عن الوليد بن العيزار وكذلك قال المعمري عن أبي موسى عن غندر عن شعبة عن عبيد المكتب وقال أبو نعيم في حديث عمرو بن عبد الله عن أبي عمرو الشيباني أن يسلم الناس من لسانك ويدك وتفرد بهذه اللفظة أبو نعيم في هذا الحديث وأما بيان فرواه أبو سعيد الجعفي يحيى بن سليمان عن ابن فضيل عنه عن أبي عمرو الشيباني عن ابن مسعود متصلا وأرسله غيره عن ابن فضيل فلم يذكر فيه ابن مسعود وهو صحيح عن أبي عمرو الشيباني عن ابن مسعود د
machine translationHe was asked about the hadith of Abū ʿAmr al-Shaybānī, from Ibn Masʿūd, from the Prophet ﷺ: "The best of deeds is the prayer at its time." He said: It is narrated by al-Walīd b. al-ʿAyzār, al-Ḥasan b. ʿUbaydillāh, Abū Muʿāwiyah ʿAmr b. ʿAbdillāh al-Nakhaʿī (who is the father of Abū Dāwūd al-Nakhaʿī), Sulaymān al-Aʿmash, and Bayān b. Bishr. There is disagreement about al-Walīd b. al-ʿAyzār regarding the wording of the hadith, and disagreement about Bayān regarding its chain. ʿUbayd al-Muktib narrated it from Abū ʿAmr al-Shaybānī, from a man whom he did not name. As for the disagreement about al-Walīd b. al-ʿAyzār: ʿUthmān b. ʿUmar narrated it from Mālik b. Mighwal, from him, and said in it: "The best of deeds is the prayer at the beginning of its time." Likewise ʿAlī b. Ḥafṣ al-Madāʾinī said, from Shuʿbah, from al-Walīd b. al-ʿAyzār. Likewise al-Maʿmarī said, from Abū Mūsā, from Ghundar, from Shuʿbah, from ʿUbayd al-Muktib. Abū Nuʿaym said in the hadith of ʿAmr b. ʿAbdillāh, from Abū ʿAmr al-Shaybānī: "That the people be safe from your tongue and your hand." Abū Nuʿaym alone reported this wording in this hadith. As for Bayān, Abū Saʿīd al-Juʿfī Yaḥyā b. Sulaymān narrated it from Ibn Fuḍayl, from him, from Abū ʿAmr al-Shaybānī, from Ibn Masʿūd, with a connected chain; others narrated it from Ibn Fuḍayl as a mursal report and did not mention Ibn Masʿūd in it. It is sound from Abū ʿAmr al-Shaybānī, from Ibn Masʿūd. (Abū Dāwūd)
