Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا فَزَارَةُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو أَخْبَرَنِي فُلَيْحٌ عَنْ هِلَالِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي عَمْرَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ آمَنَ بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَأَقَامَ الصَّلَاةَ وَصَامَ رَمَضَانَ فَإِنَّ حَقًّا عَلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَنْ يُدْخِلَهُ الْجَنَّةَ هَاجَرَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَوْ جَلَسَ فِي أَرْضِهِ الَّتِي وُلِدَ فِيهَا قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَفَلَا نُنَبِّئُ النَّاسَ بِذَلِكَ قَالَ إِنَّ فِي الْجَنَّةِ مِائَةَ دَرَجَةٍ أَعَدَّهَا لِلْمُجَاهِدِينَ فِي سَبِيلِهِ مَا بَيْنَ كُلِّ دَرَجَتَيْنِ كَمَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ فَإِذَا سَأَلْتُمْ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَسَلُوهُ الْفِرْدَوْسَ فَإِنَّهَا أَوْسَطُ الْجَنَّةِ وَأَعْلَى الْجَنَّةِ وَفَوْقَهُ عَرْشُ الرَّحْمَنِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَمِنْهُ تَفَجَّرُ أَنْهَارُ الْجَنَّةِ.
English Translation
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "Whoever believes in Allah and His Messenger, establishes the prayer, and fasts Ramadan, it is a right upon Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, to admit him to Paradise, whether he migrated in the cause of Allah or stayed in the land where he was born." They said: "O Messenger of Allah, shall we not inform the people of that?" He said: "In Paradise there are one hundred degrees which He has prepared for those who strive in His cause. Between every two degrees is like the distance between heaven and earth. So when you ask Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, ask Him for al-Firdaws, for it is the middle of Paradise and the highest of Paradise, and above it is the Throne of the Most Merciful, the Mighty and Sublime, and from it the rivers of Paradise spring forth."
