Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever spends two things in the way of Allah, the angels will call him from the gates of Paradise, saying, "O servant of Allah, this gate is good." Then, the one who is devoted to prayer will be called from the gate of prayer; the one who is a warrior (mujahid) will be called from the gate of jihad; the one who fasts will be called from the gate of Rayyan; and the one who gives zakat will be called from the gate of zakat. Upon this, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) asked, "May my parents be sacrificed for you, O Messenger of Allah! There is no problem for those who are called from any of these gates, but tell me, will there be anyone who will be called from all these gates?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied, "Yes, and I hope you will be among them."

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever spends a pair (of something) in the way of Allah, he will be called by the gatekeepers of Paradise. The gatekeeper of every gate of Paradise will call him (towards himself), saying: O so-and-so, come through this gate. Upon this, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah, then such a person will have no fear? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I hope that you will be among them.
