Mukhtasar Bukhari

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Whoever believes in Allah and His Messenger, performs prayer, and fasts in Ramadan, it is Allah’s promise to admit him into Paradise, whether he fights in the path of Allah or remains in the land where he was born.” The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) said, “O Messenger of Allah! Should we not make this known among the people?” He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “There are one hundred levels in Paradise which Allah has prepared for those who fight in His path. The distance between each two levels is as great as that between the sky and the earth. So when you ask Allah, ask Him for Al-Firdaus, for it is the best and highest part of Paradise.” I think the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also said (after this): “Above it (i.e., Jannat al-Firdaus) is the Throne of the Most Merciful, and from it flow the rivers of Paradise.”
