Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ كَثِيرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنْ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي حُمَيْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ مَنْ أَنْفَقَ زَوْجَيْنِ مِنْ شَىْءٍ مِنَ الأَشْيَاءِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ دُعِيَ مِنْ أَبْوَابِ الْجَنَّةِ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ هَذَا خَيْرٌ لَكَ وَلِلْجَنَّةِ أَبْوَابٌ فَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الصَّلاَةِ دُعِيَ مِنْ بَابِ الصَّلاَةِ وَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجِهَادِ دُعِيَ مِنْ بَابِ الْجِهَادِ وَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الصَّدَقَةِ دُعِيَ مِنْ بَابِ الصَّدَقَةِ وَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الصِّيَامِ دُعِيَ مِنْ بَابِ الرَّيَّانِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ هَلْ عَلَى مَنْ يُدْعَى مِنْ تِلْكَ الأَبْوَابِ مِنْ ضَرُورَةٍ فَهَلْ يُدْعَى مِنْهَا كُلِّهَا أَحَدٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏"‏ نَعَمْ وَإِنِّي أَرْجُو أَنْ تَكُونَ مِنْهُمْ ‏" ‏ ‏.‏ يَعْنِي أَبَا بَكْرٍ ‏.‏

Translation

Amr ibn Uthman ibn Said ibn Kathir reported: My father narrated to us, from Shuaib, from al-Zuhri, who said: Humayd ibn Abd al-Rahman informed me that Abu Hurairah said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: Whoever gives two of something of any kind in the cause of Allah will be called from the gates of Paradise: Servant of Allah, this is good for you. 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: Messenger of Allah, does someone who is called from one of those gates need anything further? Will anyone be called from all of them? He said: Yes, and I hope you will be among them. That is, Abu Bakr.
