It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and asked about the most virtuous deed. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Prayer. He said: Then which one? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Prayer. He said: Then which one? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Prayer. This happened three times. Then, when he asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) further questions, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Striving in the way of Allah (Jihad). The man said: My parents are also alive. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I command you to do good to your parents. He said: By the One Who has sent you with the truth! I will surely, surely perform Jihad and surely, surely leave them. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: You know best yourself.
