Narrated Abdullah: I asked the
Prophet (peace be upon him) “Which deed is the dearest to Allah?” He replied,
“To offer the prayers at their early stated fixed times.” I asked, “What is the
next (in goodness)?” He replied, “To be good and dutiful to your parents.” I
again asked, “What is the next (in goodness)?” He replied, “To participate in
Jihad (religious fighting) in Allah’s cause.” ‘Abdullah added, “I asked only
that much and if I had asked more, the Prophet (peace be upon him) would have
told me more.”
