7423. Narrated Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنه : The Prophet ﷺ said, “Whoever believes in Allāh and His Messenger ﷺ, offers Aṣ-Ṣalāt (the prayers) — Iqāmat-aṣ-Ṣalāt,(1) and observes Ṣaum (fasts) (the month of Ramaḍān, then it is incumbent upon Allāh to admit him into Paradise, whether he emigrates for Allāh’s Cause or stays in the land where he was born.” They (the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ) said, “O Allāh’s Messenger! Should we not inform the people of that?” He said, “There are one hundred degrees in Paradise which Allāh has prepared for those who carry on Jihād in His Cause. The distance between every two degrees is like the distance between the heaven and the earth, so if you ask Allāh for anything, ask Him for the Firdaus, for it is the middle part of Paradise and the highest part of Paradise, and at its top there is the Throne of the Most Gracious (Allāh), and from it gush forth the rivers of Paradise."
