Hadith 9602

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَنْبِئْنِي عَنْ أَمْرٍ إِذَا أَخَذْتُ بِهِ دَخَلْتُ الْجَنَّةَ قَالَ ((أَفْشِ السَّلَامَ وَأَطْعِمِ الطَّعَامَ وَصِلِ الْأَرْحَامَ وَقُمْ بِاللَّيْلِ وَالنَّاسُ نِيَامٌ ثُمَّ ادْخُلِ الْجَنَّةَ بِسَلَامٍ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, who says: I said, "O Messenger of Allah! Tell me about such a command that if I act upon it, I will enter Paradise." The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Spread peace, feed (others), maintain ties of kinship, and stand (in prayer) at night when people are sleeping, and then enter Paradise in peace."

Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Spreading salam (greeting of peace), maintaining ties of kinship, and feeding people for the sake of Allah’s pleasure—these are extremely easy matters, even though the majority of the Muslim ummah is showing negligence in these easy matters. Standing in prayer at night (qiyam al-layl) may seem somewhat difficult in the beginning, but later even that becomes easy. In any case, the reward is very great.
