English Translation

Muḥammad ibn Jaʿfar narrated to us, Shuʿbah narrated to us, from Abū Masʿūd — meaning al-Jurayrī — from Yazīd ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn al-Shikhkhīr, from Māʿiz رضي الله عنه, from the Prophet ﷺ, that he was asked, 'Which deeds are most virtuous?' He said, 'Faith in Allah alone, then jihād, then an accepted Hajj that surpasses all other deeds as the distance between the rising and setting of the sun.' Hudbah ibn Khālid narrated to us, Wuhayb ibn Khālid narrated to us, from al-Jurayrī, from Ḥayyān ibn ʿUmayr, Māʿiz narrated to us, that the Prophet ﷺ was asked which deeds are most virtuous — and he mentioned the like of it.
