أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ وَالْحَارِثُ بْنُ مِسْکِينٍ قِرَائَةً عَلَيْهِ وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُ عَنْ ابْنِ الْقَاسِمِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مَالِکٌ عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَنْ أَنْفَقَ زَوْجَيْنِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ نُودِيَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ هَذَا خَيْرٌ 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 فَقَالَ أَبُو بَکْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ هَلْ عَلَی مَنْ دُعِيَ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأَبْوَابِ مِنْ ضَرُورَةٍ فَهَلْ يُدْعَی أَحَدٌ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأَبْوَابِ کُلِّهَا قَالَ نَعَمْ وَأَرْجُو أَنْ تَکُونَ مِنْهُمْ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 3191
It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: “Whoever spends on a pair (of things) in the cause of Allah will be called in Paradise: ‘slave of Allah, here is prosperity.’ Whoever is one of the people of Salah, he will be called from the gate of paradise. Whoever is one of the people of Jihad, he will be called from the gate of Paradise. Whoever is one of the people of charity, he will be called from the gate of Paradise. Whoever is one of the people who fast, he will be called from the gate of Ar Rayyan.” Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, said: “Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم, no distress or need will befall the one who is called from those gates. Will there be anyone who will be called from all these gates?” The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: “Yes, and I hope that you will be one of them.” (Sahih)
