Ibn Mas'ud said

I asked the Prophet (ﷺ) which action is dearest to Allah and he replied, “Prayer at its proper time.” I asked what came next, and he replied that it was kindness to parents. I asked what came next and he replied that it was jihad in Allah's path. He said, “He told me of them, and if I had asked for more he would have told me more.” (Bukhari and Muslim.)
