Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو هَانِئٍ الْخَوْلاَنِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْحُبُلِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏"‏ يَا أَبَا سَعِيدٍ مَنْ رَضِيَ بِاللَّهِ رَبًّا وَبِالإِسْلاَمِ دِينًا وَبِمُحَمَّدٍ نَبِيًّا وَجَبَتْ لَهُ الْجَنَّةُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَعَجِبَ لَهَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ فَقَالَ أَعِدْهَا عَلَىَّ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَفَعَلَ ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏"‏ وَأُخْرَى يُرْفَعُ بِهَا الْعَبْدُ مِائَةَ دَرَجَةٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ مَا بَيْنَ كُلِّ دَرَجَتَيْنِ كَمَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالأَرْضِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَمَا هِيَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏"‏ الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Said ibn Mansur narrated to us; Abdullah ibn Wahb narrated to us; Abu Hani al-Khawlani narrated to me, from Abu Abd al-Rahman al-Hubuli, from Abu Said al-Khudri, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “Abu Said, whoever is content with Allah as Lord, Islam as religion, and Muhammad as Prophet is assured Paradise.” Abu Said was amazed by this and said, “Messenger of Allah, repeat it to me.” He did so, then said: “There is another deed by which a servant is raised one hundred ranks in Paradise, with the distance between each two ranks like the distance between heaven and earth.” Abu Said asked, “What is it, Messenger of Allah?” He replied: “Striving in the path of Allah; striving in the path of Allah.”
