Hadith 1529

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ شُرَيْحٍ الْإِسْكَنْدَرَانِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو هَانِئٍ الْخَوْلَانِيُّ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا عَلِيٍّ الْجَنْبِيَّ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " مَنْ قَالَ : رَضِيتُ بِاللَّهِ رَبًّا وَبِالْإِسْلَامِ دِينًا وَبِمُحَمَّدٍ رَسُولًا وَجَبَتْ لَهُ الْجَنَّةُ " .
Abu Saeed al-Khudri reported the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: If anyone says "I am pleased with Allah as Lord, with Islam as religion and with Muhammad ﷺ as Messenger" Paradise will be his due.

Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
“They seemed very strange” because, apparently, Paradise has been promised for something easy, although in reality this is a very difficult task, because knowledge of contentment (rida) will be determined by actions. And providing proof of faith through actions itself is a difficult task. Another meaning could be that “they seemed very excellent,” because for the believer this is a tremendous glad tidings.

Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: From this hadith, it is understood that a person may enter Paradise even without engaging in jihad, but those ranks and degrees which are extremely lofty and most noble will be deprived from him, and he will remain deprived of those blessings which a person cannot even imagine in this world.
