Thawbān (raḍiy Allāhu ʿanhu) narrates that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Allah has promised that anyone who says [the above] three times every morning and evening will be pleased on the Day of Judgement.” (Aḥmad 18927) The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Whoever says [the above] in the morning, I guarantee that I will take hold of his hand until I enter him into Paradise.” (Ṭabarānī: al-Muʿjam al-Kabīr 838) Abū Saʿīd al-Khudrī narrates that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Abū Sa’īd, whoever is pleased with Allah as his Lord, Islam as his religion and Muḥammad as his Prophet will be guaranteed entry into Paradise.” He (Abū Saʿīd) was amazed and said: “O Messenger of Allah, repeat it for me.” He (the Messenger of Allah ﷺ) did that and then said: “There is another act which elevates the position of a man in Paradise one hundred grades (higher); and the distance between one grade and the other is like the distance between the sky and the earth.” He (Abū Saʿīd) said: “What is that act, O Messenger of Allah?” He replied: “Striving in the path of Allah! Striving in the path of Allah!” (Muslim 1884)
