Bayhaqi 18493 — The virtue of jihad in the way of Allah

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، أنبأ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَكَمِ، أنبأ ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو هَانِئٍ الْخَوْلَانِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْحُبُلِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " يَا أَبَا سَعِيدٍ مَنْ رَضِيَ بِاللهِ رَبًّا، وَبِالْإِسْلَامِ دِينًا، وَبِمُحَمَّدٍ نَبِيًّا، وَجَبَتْ لَهُ الْجَنَّةُ ". قَالَ: فَعَجِبَ لَهَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ ⦗٢٦٧⦘ فَقَالَ: أَعِدْهَا عَلَيَّ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ. فَفَعَلَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " وَأُخْرَى يُرْفَعُ بِهَا الْعَبْدُ مِائَةَ دَرَجَةٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ، مَا بَيْنَ كُلِّ دَرَجَتَيْنِ كَمَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ ". قَالَ: وَمَا هِيَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ: " الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ، الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ، الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ ". رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ وَهْبٍ.
Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Abu Sa'id! Whoever is pleased with Allah as Lord, with Islam as religion and with Muhammad as Prophet, Paradise becomes obligatory for him." The narrator said: Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) was amazed and said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Repeat it to me. So he (peace and blessings be upon him) said it again. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "And there is another thing by which the servant is raised a hundred degrees in Paradise, and the distance between every two degrees is like that between the heavens and the earth." He said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! What is it? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Jihad in the path of Allah, jihad in the path of Allah, jihad in the path of Allah."
