Jami' at-Tirmidhi — Hadith #29832

Ishaq bin Musa Al-Ansari told us, he said, Maan told us, he said, Malik bin Anas told us, on the authority of Al-Zuhri, on the authority of Humaid bin Abdul Rahman, On the authority of Abu Hurairah, that the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said: “Whoever spends two pairs in the way of God will be called into Paradise, O this servant of God.” It is better, for whoever was among the people of prayer will be called from the gate of prayer, and whoever was from the people of jihad will be called from the gate of jihad, and whoever was among the people of charity. He was called for the sake of charity, and whoever was among the people of fasting will be called for the sake of Al-Rayyan.” Then Abu Bakr said, “May my father and mother be sacrificed for you. He was called from these gates out of necessity. Is anyone called from all of these gates? He said, “Yes, and I hope that you will be one of them.” This is a good and authentic hadith
