Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger ﷺ as saying, “If anyone believes in Allah and His Messenger, observes the prayer and fasts during Ramadan, Allah will assuredly bring him into paradise whether he has engaged in jihad in Allah’s path or remained in his land in which he was born.” On being asked whether people should not be given this good news he replied, “In paradise there are a hundred degrees which Allah has prepared for those who engage in jihad in Allah’s path, between each pair of which there is a distance like that between heaven and earth; so when you make requests of Allah ask him for Firdaus, for it is the best and highest part of paradise, above it is the throne of the Compassionate One, and from it the rivers of paradise issue.” Bukhari transmitted it.
