3133. It was narrated from Abû Sa'eed Al-Khudrî that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "O Abû Sa'eed! Whoever is content with Allâh as Lord, Islam as his religion and Muḥammad as Prophet, then he is guaranteed Paradise." Abû Sa'eed found this amazing and said: "Say it to me again, O Messenger of Allâh." So he did that, then the Messenger of Allâh 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 Allâh?" He said: "Jihâd in the cause of Allâh, Jihâd in the cause of Allâh." (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Commentary
'Found this amazing' because for an apparently easy or effortless thing, the promise of the Paradise has been given, although in actuality it is a difficult task. This is because the knowledge or proof of contentment would emerge from actions. And to furnish evidence from action is itself a hard task.
