3674. Abū Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Whoever spends a pair of things in the path of Allāh, he will be called in Paradise: 'O worshipper of Allāh, this is good.' And whoever is among the people of Salāt, he will be called from the gate of Salāt, and whoever was among the people of Jihād, he will be called from the gate of Jihād. And whoever was among the people of charity, then he will be called from the gate of charity, and
whoever was from the people of fasting, then he will be called from the gate of Ar-Rayyān.” So Abū Bakr said: “May my father and mother be ransomed for you! The one who is called from these gates will be free of all worries. But will anyone be called from all of those gates?” He (ﷺ) said: “Yes, and I hope that you are among them.” (Sahīh)

Commentary
The explanation of a “pair of things” in some narrations is two animals, two goats, two cows or two donkeys. The purpose of this is to give a pair out of every thing in way of Allāh ﷻ. Some of the scholars say it suggests giving of things in abundance in the path of Allāh ﷻ because sometimes the word ‘pair’ in Arabic language is used to show plurality.
