It is narrated from Sayyiduna Mu’adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever performs the five prayers, performs Hajj of the Sacred House, and fasts in Ramadan, then it is Allah’s right to forgive him, whether he migrates in His path or remains in the land where he was born. The narrator does not remember whether the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned zakat in this hadith or not. Sayyiduna Mu’adh (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah! Should I inform the people of this hadith? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Mu’adh! Leave it and do not inform the people (so that they may continue to perform other good deeds as well), for there are one hundred levels in Paradise, and between each two levels is a distance of one hundred years’ journey. The highest and most distinguished level of Paradise is Firdaus; from it the rivers of Paradise flow forth. Therefore, when you ask Allah, ask for Firdaus.
