[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , took my hand and said, "O Abu Sa'id, there are three things. Whoever says them will enter Paradise." I asked, "What are they, O Messenger of Allah?" He replied, "Whoever is pleased with Allah as the Lord, Islam as the religion, and Muhammad as the Messenger. And the fourth one, which is greater in virtue than the distance between the heavens and the Earth, is striving in the way of Allah."  

أحمد:١١١٠٢ – حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ أَبِي عِمْرَانَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْحُبُلِيِّعَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ

أَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِيَدِي فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا سَعِيدٍ ثَلَاثَةٌ مَنْ قَالَهُنَّ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ قُلْتُ مَا هُنَّ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ مَنْ رَضِيَ بِاللهِ رَبًّا وَبِالْإِسْلَامِ دِينًا وَبِمُحَمَّدٍ رَسُولًا ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا أَبَا سَعِيدٍ وَالرَّابِعَةُ لَهَا مِنَ الْفَضْلِ كَمَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ وَهِيَ الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ

muslim:1884 – Saʿīd b. Manṣūr > ʿAbdullāh b. Wahb > Abū Hāniʾ al-Khawlānī > Abū ʿAbd al-Raḥman al-Ḥubulī > Abū Saʿīd al-Khudrī

Abu Saʿid, whoever cheerfully accepts Allah as his Lord, Islam as his religion and Muhammad as his Apostle is necessarily entitled to enter Paradise. He (Abu Saʿid) wondered at it and said: Messenger of Allah, repeat it for me. He (the Messenger of Allah) did that and said: There is another act which elevates the position of a man in Paradise to a grade one hundred (higher), and the elevation between one grade and the other is equal to the height of the heaven from the earth. He (Abu Saʿid) said: What is that act? He replied: Jihad in the way of Allah! Jihad in the way of Allah!  

مسلم:١٨٨٤ – حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو هَانِئٍ الْخَوْلاَنِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْحُبُلِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ يَا أَبَا سَعِيدٍ مَنْ رَضِيَ بِاللَّهِ رَبًّا وَبِالإِسْلاَمِ دِينًا وَبِمُحَمَّدٍ نَبِيًّا وَجَبَتْ لَهُ الْجَنَّةُ فَعَجِبَ لَهَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ فَقَالَ أَعِدْهَا عَلَىَّ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَفَعَلَ ثُمَّ قَالَ وَأُخْرَى يُرْفَعُ بِهَا الْعَبْدُ مِائَةَ دَرَجَةٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ مَا بَيْنَ كُلِّ دَرَجَتَيْنِ كَمَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالأَرْضِ قَالَ وَمَا هِيَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ

"O Abu Sa'eed! Whoever is content with Allah as Lord, Islam as his religion and Muhammad as Prophet, then he is guaranteed Paradise." Abu Sa'eed found this amazing and said: "Say it to me again, O Messenger of Allah." So he did that, then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "And there is something else by means of which a person may be raised one hundred degrees in Paradise, each of which is like that which is between the Heaven and the Earth." He said: "What is it, O Messenger of Allah?" He said: "Jihad in the cause of Allah, Jihad in the cause of Allah."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ يَا أَبَا سَعِيدٍ مَنْ رَضِيَ بِاللَّهِ رَبًّا وَبِالإِسْلاَمِ دِينًا وَبِمُحَمَّدٍ نَبِيًّا وَجَبَتْ لَهُ الْجَنَّةُ قَالَ فَعَجِبَ لَهَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ قَالَ أَعِدْهَا عَلَىَّ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَفَعَلَ ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأُخْرَى يُرْفَعُ بِهَا الْعَبْدُ مِائَةَ دَرَجَةٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ مَا بَيْنَ كُلِّ دَرَجَتَيْنِ كَمَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالأَرْضِ قَالَ وَمَا هِيَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «يَا أَبَا سَعِيدٍ مَنْ رَضِيَ بِاللَّهِ رِبًا وَبِالْإِسْلَامِ دَينًا وَبِمُحَمَّدٍ نَبِيًّا وَجَبَتْ لَهُ الْجَنَّةُ» فَعَجِبَ لَهَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ وَقَالَ أَعِدْهَا عَلَيَّ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَفَعَلَ ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «وَأُخْرَى يُرْفَعُ بِهَا الْعَبْدُ مِائَةَ دَرَجَةٍ مَا بَيْنَ كُلِّ دَرَجَتَيْنِ كَمَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ» قَالَ وَمَا هِيَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ﷻ»
