Volume 9, Book 93, Number 519:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, “Whoever believes in Allah and His Apostle offers prayers perfectly and fasts (the
month of) Ramadan then it is incumbent upon Allah to admit him into Paradise, whether he emig –
rates for Allah’s cause or stays in the land where he was born.” They (the companions of the Prophet)
said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Should we not inform the people of that?” He said, “There are one-hundred
degrees in Paradise which Allah has prepared for those who carry on Jihad in His Cause. The dis –
tance between every two degrees is like the distance between the sky and the Earth, so if you ask Al –
lah for anything, ask Him for the Firdaus, for it is the last part of Paradise and the highest part of
Paradise, and at its top there is the Throne of Beneficent, and from it gush forth the rivers of Para –
dise.”
