It has been narrated on the authority of Abu Said Khudri that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said (to him): Abu Said, whoever cheerfully accepts Allah as his Lord, Islam as his religion and Mubammad as his Apostle ﷺ is necessarily entitled to enter Paradise. He (Abu Said) wondered at it and said: Messenger of Allah, repeat it for me. He (the Messenger of Allah) ﷺ did that and said: There is another act which elevates the position of a man in Paradise to a grade one hundred (higher), and the elevation between one grade and the other is equal to the height of the heaven from the earth. He (Abu Said) said: What is that act? He replied: Jihad in the way of Allah! Jihad in the way of Allah!
