Sahih Muslim 14b (Book 1, Hadith 15) #7280
Path to Paradise

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught a bedouin the deeds that would lead him to Paradise.

It is reported on the authority of Abu Huraira that a bedouin came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: Messenger of Allah, direct me to a deed by which I may be entitled to enter Paradise. Upon this he (the Holy Prophet) remarked: You worship Allah and never associate anything with Him, establish the obligatory prayer, and pay the Zakat which is incumbent upon you, and observe the fast of Ramadan. He (the bedouin) said: By Him in Whose hand is my life, I will never add anything to it, nor will I diminish anything from it. When he (the bedouin) turned his back, the Prophet ﷺ said: He who is pleased to see a man from the dwellers of Paradise should catch a glimpse of him.
وَحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ أَعْرَابِيًّا، جَاءَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ دُلَّنِي عَلَى عَمَلٍ إِذَا عَمِلْتُهُ دَخَلْتُ الْجَنَّةَ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ تَعْبُدُ اللَّهَ لاَ تُشْرِكُ بِهِ شَيْئًا وَتُقِيمُ الصَّلاَةَ الْمَكْتُوبَةَ وَتُؤَدِّي الزَّكَاةَ الْمَفْرُوضَةَ وَتَصُومُ رَمَضَانَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لاَ أَزِيدُ عَلَى هَذَا شَيْئًا أَبَدًا وَلاَ أَنْقُصُ مِنْهُ ‏.‏ فَلَمَّا وَلَّى قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ ‏"‏ مَنْ سَرَّهُ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَى رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ فَلْيَنْظُرْ إِلَى هَذَا

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was asked by a bedouin how he could enter paradise. In response, the Prophet taught him four deeds that would help him achieve this goal. These were worshipping Allah alone without associating anything with Him; establishing the obligatory prayer; paying the zakat which is incumbent upon you; and observing the fast of Ramadan. After hearing this advice from the Prophet and promising to follow it exactly as instructed, he left and was praised by the Prophet for his commitment. This hadith teaches us that if we want to enter paradise then we must worship Allah alone without associating anything with Him; establish our obligatory prayers regularly; pay our zakats on time; and observe fasting during Ramadan every year.
