حديث أبي أيوبَ الأَنصاريّ رضي الله عنها أَنَّ رجلًا قال: يا رسول الله أخبرني بعمل يُدْخِلُني الجنة، فقال القوم: مَا لَهُ مَالَه فقال رسولُ اللهِ ﷺ: أَرَبٌ مَّا لَهُ فقال النبيُّ ﷺ: تعبُدُ اللهَ لا تُشْرِكُ بهِ شيئًا وتُقيمُ الصَّلاةَ وَتُؤْتِي الزكاةَ وَتَصِلُ الرَّحِمَ ذرْها قَال كأنّه كانَ عَلى رَاحِلَتِهِ.
Narrated Abû Ayyûb Al-Ansârî رضي الله عنه : A man said, "O Allâh's Messenger! Inform me of a deed which will make me enter Paradise." The people said, "What is the matter with him? What is the matter with him?" Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "He has something to ask (what he needs greatly)." The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said (to him), "(In order to enter Paradise) you should worship Allâh and join none in worship with Him; you should perform As-Salât (Iqâmat-as-Salât) , [1] pay the Zakât [2] , and keep good relations with your kith and kin." He then said, "Leave it! [3] " The sub-narrator said, "It seems that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم was riding his she-camel." ( Sahih Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 12, Vol. 8 )
