It is narrated from Hazrat Ma'iz (may Allah be pleased with him) that once a person asked the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), "Which is the most virtuous deed?" The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied, "To have faith in one Allah, then jihad, then Hajj Mabroor; among all deeds, these are superior just as the distance between the east and the west." The previous hadith is also narrated through this second chain of transmission.

Abdullah ibn Ahmad said, Hudbah ibn Khalid narrated to us, Wuhaib ibn Khalid narrated to us, he said: al-Jurayri narrated to us, from Hayyan ibn Umayr, Ma'iz narrated to us, that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, was asked: "Which deeds are best?" So he mentioned something similar to it.
