GATES OF PARADISE

1241

“Whosoever spends two pairs of anything in the Cause of Allah will be called from the Gates of Paradise, 'O worshiper of Allah, this is good for you.' In the same way, the people of prayer will be called from the Gate of Prayer; and the people of Jihad will be called from the Gate of Jihad. The people of fasting will be called from the Gate of Watering; and the people of charity will be called from the Gate of Charity.’

Abu Bakr said, ‘May my father and mother be your ransom, O Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, those who are called from these gates shall want for nothing, but will any one be called to from all these gates?’ He answered, ‘Yes, and I hope you will be one of them.’"

Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Abu Hurairah who related that the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
