وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ أَنْفَقَ زَوْجَيْنِ مِنْ شَيْءٍ مِنَ الْأَشْيَاءِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ دُعِيَ مِنْ أَبْوَاب الْجنَّة واللجنة أَبْوَابٌ فَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الصَّلَاةِ دُعِيَ مِنْ بَابِ الصَّلَاةِ وَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجِهَاد دعِي من بَاب الْجِهَاد وَمن كَانَ مَنْ أَهْلِ الصَّدَقَةِ دُعِيَ مِنْ بَابِ الصَّدَقَةِ وَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الصِّيَامِ دُعِيَ مِنْ بَابِ الرَّيَّانِ» . فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: مَا عَلَى مَنْ دُعِيَ مِنْ تِلْكَ الْأَبْوَابِ مِنْ ضَرُورَةٍ فَهَلْ يُدْعَى أَحَدٌ مِنْ تِلْكَ الْأَبْوَابِ كُلِّهَا؟ قَالَ: «نعم وَأَرْجُو أَن تكون مِنْهُم»
Abu Huraira, may Allah be pleased with him, said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, ‘Whoever gives two of anything in the path of Allah will be called from the gates of Paradise—and Paradise has gates. Whoever belongs to the people of prayer will be called from the gate of prayer; whoever belongs to the people of jihad will be called from the gate of jihad; whoever belongs to the people of charity will be called from the gate of charity; and whoever belongs to the people of fasting will be called from the gate of al-Rayyan.’ Abu Bakr said, ‘There is no necessity for someone called from one of those gates. Will anyone be called from all of those gates?’ He said, ‘Yes, and I hope you will be one of them.’
Translation notes
The Arabic uses the expression ‘gives two’ without specifying the pair’s items. It names al-Rayyan as the gate for those devoted to fasting; the English witness’s lexical note about the name is not included.
