Narrated Abu Huraira (R.A):
The Prophet محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم was asked, "Which is the best deed?"
He said, "To believe in Allah and His Apostle."
He was then asked, "Which is the next (in goodness)?"
He said, "To participate in Jihad in Allah's Cause."
He was then asked, "Which is the next?"
He said, "To perform Hajj−Mabrur. "
(Sahih Bukhari,chapter 2, hadith no 594)
