حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ، وَحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ، وَأَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَيُّ الْأَعْمَالِ أَفْضَلُ؟ فَقَالَ: " الصَّلَاةُ لِوَقْتِهَا، وَبِرُّ الْوَالِدَيْنِ، وَالْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ " وَلَوِ اسْتَزَدْتُ لَزَادَنِي قَالَ حُسَيْنٌ: ولَوِ (١) اسْتَزَدْتُهُ (٢)،
