أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ کَثِيرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي عَنْ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي حُمَيْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ مَنْ أَنْفَقَ زَوْجَيْنِ مِنْ شَيْئٍ مِنْ الْأَشْيَائِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ دُعِيَ مِنْ أَبْوَابِ الْجَنَّةِ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ هَذَا خَيْرٌ لَکَ وَلِلْجَنَّةِ أَبْوَابٌ فَمَنْ کَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الصَّلَاةِ دُعِيَ مِنْ بَابِ الصَّلَاةِ وَمَنْ کَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجِهَادِ دُعِيَ مِنْ بَابِ الْجِهَادِ وَمَنْ کَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الصَّدَقَةِ دُعِيَ مِنْ بَابِ الصَّدَقَةِ وَمَنْ کَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الصِّيَامِ دُعِيَ مِنْ بَابِ الرَّيَّانِ قَالَ أَبُو بَکْرٍ هَلْ عَلَی مَنْ يُدْعَی مِنْ تِلْکَ الْأَبْوَابِ مِنْ ضَرُورَةٍ فَهَلْ يُدْعَی مِنْهَا کُلِّهَا أَحَدٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ نَعَمْ وَإِنِّي أَرْجُو أَنْ تَکُونَ مِنْهُمْ يَعْنِي أَبَا بَکْرٍ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 2445
Abu Hurairah said: “I heard the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم say: ‘Whoever spends on a pair of things in the cause of Allah, he will be called from the gates of Paradise: slave of Allah, this is good for you. Paradise has (several) gates. Whoever is one of the people of Salah, he will be called from the gate of prayer. Whoever is one of the people of Jihad, will be called from the gate of Jihad. Whoever is one of the people of charity will be called from the gate of charity. And whoever is one of the people of fasting will be called from the gate of Ar-Rayyan.” Abu Bakr said: “Is there any need for anyone to be called from all of these gates? Will anyone be called from all of them, `O Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم?” He said: “Yes, and I hope that you will be among them.” (Sahih).
