It is narrated on the authority of Abu Ayyub that a man came to the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and said: Direct me to a deed which draws me near to Paradise and takes me away from the Fire (of Hell). Upon this he (the Holy Prophet) said: You worship Allah and never associate anything with Him, establish prayer, and pay Zakat, and do good to your kin. When he turned his back, the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) remarked: If he adheres to what he has been ordered to do, he would enter Paradise.

It is reported on the authority of Abu Hurairah (RA) that a bedouin came to the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and said: Messenger of Allah, direct me to a deed by which I may be entitled to enter Paradise. Upon this he (the Holy Prophet (صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ)) remarked: You worship Allah and never associate anything with Him, establish the obligatory prayer, and pay the Zakat which is incumbent upon you, and observe the fast of Ramadan. He (the bedouin) said: By Him in Whose hand is my life, I will never add anything to it, nor will I diminish anything from it. When he (the bedouin) turned his back, the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: He who is pleased to see a man from the dwellers of Paradise should catch a glimpse of him.

He (the Holy Prophet) replied in the affirmative. He (the inquirer) said: By Allah, I would add nothing to it.
