Al-Waleed bin al-Aizar bin Huraith said: I heard Abu ‘Amr ash-Shaibani say: The owner of this house - and he pointed to the house of 'Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) but he did not name him - said:

I asked the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) which deed is dearest to Allah? He said: "Prayer offered on time." I said: Then which? He said: "Then honouring one's parents.” I said: Then which? He said: "Then jihad for the sake of Allah.” He told me about them and if I had asked him for more he would have told me more.
