It is narrated on the authority of Abdullah bin Mas'ood (may Allah be pleased with him), who observed:

"I asked Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) which deed was the best." He (the Holy Prophet) replied: 'The Prayer at its appointed hour.' I (again) asked: "Then what?" He (the Holy Prophet) replied: 'Kindness to the par­ents.' I (again) asked: "Then what?" He replied: 'Earnest struggle (Jihad) in the cause of Allah.' I refrained from ask­ing any more questions for fear of annoying him. (Sahih Muslim: 120)

Abu Hurairah (may Al­lah be pleased with him) re­ported that Allah's Messen­ger (may peace be upon him) was asked about the best of deeds. He observed: "Belief in Allah." He (the inquirer) asked: 'What next?' He (the Holy Prophet) replied: "Ji­had (struggle to the utmost) in the cause of Allah." He (the inquirer) again asked: 'What next?' He (the Holy Prophet) replied: "Pilgrimage accept­ed into the grace of the Lord." (Sahih Muslim: 118)

Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) report­ed that I asked the Messen­ger of Allah: "Which of the deeds is the best?" He (the Holy Prophet) replied: 'Be­lief in Allah and Jihad in His cause.' I again asked: "Who is the slave whose emanci­pation is the best?" He (the Holy Prophet) replied: 'One who is valuable for his mas­ter and whose price is high.' I asked: "What if I cannot af­ford to do it?" He (the Holy Prophet) replied: 'Help an ar­tisan or make anything for the unskilled (laborer).' I (Abu Dharr) said: "O Messenger of Allah, you see that I am help­less in doing some of these deeds." He (the Holy Proph­et) replied: 'Desist from doing mischief to the people. That is your own charity for your self.' (Sahih Muslim: 119)
