حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ صَالِحٍ، حَدَّثَنَا فُلَيْحٌ، عَنْ هِلاَلِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " مَنْ آمَنَ بِاللَّهِ وَبِرَسُولِهِ وَأَقَامَ الصَّلاَةَ وَصَامَ رَمَضَانَ، كَانَ حَقًّا عَلَى اللَّهِ أَنْ يُدْخِلَهُ الْجَنَّةَ جَاهَدَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ، أَوْ جَلَسَ فِي أَرْضِهِ الَّتِي وُلِدَ فِيهَا ". فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَفَلاَ نُبَشِّرُ النَّاسَ. قَالَ " إِنَّ فِي الْجَنَّةِ مِائَةَ دَرَجَةٍ أَعَدَّهَا اللَّهُ لِلْمُجَاهِدِينَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ، مَا بَيْنَ الدَّرَجَتَيْنِ كَمَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالأَرْضِ، فَإِذَا سَأَلْتُمُ اللَّهَ فَاسْأَلُوهُ الْفِرْدَوْسَ، فَإِنَّهُ أَوْسَطُ الْجَنَّةِ وَأَعْلَى الْجَنَّةِ، أُرَاهُ فَوْقَهُ عَرْشُ الرَّحْمَنِ، وَمِنْهُ تَفَجَّرُ أَنْهَارُ الْجَنَّةِ ". قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُلَيْحٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ " وَفَوْقَهُ عَرْشُ الرَّحْمَنِ ".
Yahya ibn Salih narrated to us; Fulayh narrated to us, from Hilal ibn ʿAli, from ʿAtaʾ ibn Yasar, from Abu Hurayra (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: The Messenger of Allah said, “Whoever believes in Allah and His Messenger, establishes prayer, and fasts Ramadan has a right from Allah to enter Paradise, whether he strives in Allah’s cause or remains in the land where he was born.” They said, “Messenger of Allah, shall we not give people this good news?” He replied, “In Paradise there are one hundred levels that Allah has prepared for those who strive in His cause. The distance between two levels is like the distance between heaven and earth. When you ask Allah, ask Him for al-Firdaws, for it is the center and highest part of Paradise; I think he said it is above it the Throne of the Most Merciful, and from it the rivers of Paradise flow.” Muhammad ibn Fulayh narrated from his father: “Above it is the Throne of the Most Merciful.”
Translation notes
The phrase “I think he said” indicates a narrator’s uncertainty about the mention of the Throne; a second transmission confirms that wording.
