Ibn Mas`ud (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I asked the Messenger of Allah (PBUH): "Which
action is dearest to Allah?'' He (PBUH) replied, "
Performing As-Salat (the prayer) at its earliest fixed time
.'' I asked,
"What is next (in goodness)?'' He (PBUH) said, "
Kindness towards parents
.'' I asked, "What is next (in goodness)?''
He (PBUH) said, "
To participate in Jihad in the Cause of Allah
.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
This Hadith has already been mentioned. See Commentary on Hadith No. 314. Imam Al-Qurtubi
says that the Prophet (PBUH) mentioned these three deeds in particular because they are a sign of other acts of
obedience: He who does not perform a Salat at its prescribed time, without a valid reason, and delays it beyond its
time fully knowing that it is a light but highly rewarding work, is bound to neglect the other good deeds. One who
does not treat his parents nicely, in spite of the fact that he knows that they have the greatest rights over him, is
bound to treat others in a less proper manner. One who does not wage Jihad against the infidels, although he is fully
aware that they are avowed enemies of Islam, he is bound to give up fighting against people who are guilty of sins
and impious acts.

Abu Dharr (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) was asked: "Which
deed is the best?'' He (PBUH) replied, "
Faith in Allah and Jihad (fighting, struggle) in the Cause of Allah
.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "
Verily! Setting out in
the early morning or in the evening in order to fight in Allah's way is better than the world and what it contains
.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
The Hadith points out the superiority of fighting in the way of Allah. The moment one fights for
Allah's sake, be it in the early morning or the evening, is better than the world and all that is in it. The reason is that
the world as well as what it possesses is transitory while the Hereafter is everlasting and eternal. Can anything that is
temporary be a match for what is eternal?

Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: A man came to the Messenger of Allah
(PBUH) and said, "Who is the best among men?'' He (PBUH) replied, "
A believer who strives in the way of Allah
with his wealth and life
.'' The man asked again, "Who is next to him (in excellence)?'' He (PBUH) said, "
Next to
him is a man who is engaged in worshipping his Rubb in a mountain valley, leaving the people secure from his
mischief
.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
This Hadith has already been mentioned. See Commentary on Hadith No. 598. It brings into focus
the excellence of fighting Jihad with one's wealth and life for the sake of Allah.

Sahl bin Sa`d (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "
Observing
Ribat (e.g., guarding the Islamic frontier for the sake of Allah) for a single day is far better than the world and all
that it contains. A place in Jannah as small as the whip of your horse is far better than the world and all that it
