[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ came across a man who asked, "What kind of action can I do that will guarantee me entrance into paradise?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Are you living in a place where water is easily accessible?" The man replied, "Yes." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Then buy a new bucket and dig a well with it. Use that well until it goes completely dry, for you will not tire it unless you reach paradise through that action."  

الطبراني:١٢٦٠٥حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ التُّسْتَرِيُّ ثنا يَحْيَى الْحِمَّانِيُّ ثنا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدٍ الْقُرَشِيِّ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ قَالَ

أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ مَا عَمَلٌ إِنْ عَمِلْتُ بِهِ دَخَلْتُ الْجَنَّةَ؟ قَالَ «أَنْتَ بِبَلَدٍ يُجْلَبُ بِهِ الْمَاءُ؟» قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ «فَاشْتَرِ بِهَا سِقَاءً جَدِيدًا ثُمَّ اسْتَقِ فِيهَا حَتَّى تَخْرِقَهَا فَإِنَّكَ لَنْ تَخْرِقَهَا حَتَّى تَبْلُغَ بِهَا عَمَلَ الْجَنَّةِ»
