عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ رَضيَ اللهُ عنهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «يَا أَبَا سَعِيدٍ، مَنْ رَضِيَ بِاللهِ رَبًّا، وَبِالْإِسْلَامِ دِينًا، وَبِمُحَمَّدٍ نَبِيًّا، وَجَبَتْ لَهُ الْجَنَّةُ»، فَعَجِبَ لَهَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ، فَقَالَ: أَعِدْهَا عَلَيَّ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، فَفَعَلَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «وَأُخْرَى يُرْفَعُ بِهَا الْعَبْدُ مِائَةَ دَرَجَةٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ، مَا بَيْنَ كُلِّ دَرَجَتَيْنِ كَمَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ»، قَالَ: وَمَا هِيَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ: «الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ، الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ».
Kutoka kwa Abuu Saidi Al-Khudry -radhi za Allah ziwe juu yake- yakwamba Mtume -rehema na amani ziwe juu yake amesema-: "Ewe baba Saidi, yeyote atakayeridhia kuwa Mwenyezi Mungu ndiye Mola, na Uislamu kuwa ndiyo dini, na Muhammadi kuwa ni Nabii, basi atakuwa kastahiki Pepo", Abuu Saidi likamshangaza sana hilo, akasema: Naomba uyarudie tena maneno hayo ewe Mjumbe wa Mwenyezi Mungu, akarudia, kisha akasema: "Na la mwisho mja ananyanyuliwa kwalo daraja katika Pepo, umbali ulio kati ya daraja mbili hizo ni kama baina ya mbingu na ardhi", Akasema: Ni lipi hilo ewe Mjume wa Mwenyezi Mungu? Akasema: "Ni kupigana Jihadi katika njia ya Mwenyezi Mungu, ni kupigana Jihadi katika njia ya Mwenyezi Mungu".
Abu Sa‘īd al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Abu Sa‘īd, whoever is pleased with Allah as a Lord, with Islam as a religion, and with Muhammad as a messenger, Paradise is guaranteed for him." Abu Sa‘īd was full of wonder at that, so he said: O Messenger of Allah, repeat that to me. He did so and then said: "There is something else by means of which the slave is raised a hundred degrees in Paradise; the distance between each two degrees is like that between the heavens and the earth." He said: O Messenger of Allah, what is it? He said: "Jihad for the sake of Allah, Jihad for the sake of Allah."
Miongoni mwa mambo yanayopelekea kuingia peponi ni kuridhia kuwa Allah ndiye mola na Uislamu kuwa ni dini na Muhammadi rehema na amani ziwe juu yake kuwa ni Nabii.
Kutukuzwa swala la Jihadi katika njia ya Mwenyezi Mungu Mtukufu.
Kunyanyuliwa kwa daraja ya Jihadi Peponi.
Peponi kuna daraja nyingi zisizohesabika, na nyumba zisizohesabika, na wapiganaji watakuwa na daraja mia moja ndani yake.
Mapenzi ya Maswahaba wa Mtume rehema na amani ziwe juu yake ya kutaka kujua kheri, na milango yake na sababu zake.
