Arabic hadith text

قَالَ الْحَارِثُ بْنُ مِسْكِينٍ قِرَاءَةً عَلَيْهِ وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُ، عَنِ ابْنِ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو هَانِئٍ، 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 ‏" ‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَعَجِبَ لَهَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ قَالَ أَعِدْهَا عَلَىَّ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ‏.‏ فَفَعَلَ ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ 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

Al-Harith ibn Miskin recited to us while I listened, from Ibn Wahb, who said: Abu Hani narrated to me, from Abu Abd al-Rahman al-Hubuli, from Abu Said al-Khudri, that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Abu Said, whoever is content with Allah as Lord, Islam as religion, and Muhammad as Prophet, Paradise is assured for him. Abu Said was amazed by this, and said: Repeat it to me, Messenger of Allah. He did so, then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: And there is another deed by which a servant is raised one hundred ranks in Paradise, the distance between each two ranks being like the distance between heaven and earth. Abu Said asked: What is it, Messenger of Allah? He said: Striving in the cause of Allah; striving in the cause of Allah.
