أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْمُثَنَّى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْجَعْدِ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ ثَوْبَانَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ مَكْحُولٍ عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ وَعَنْ عُمَيْرِ بْنِ هَانِئٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ غَنْمٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ مُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ
قُلْتُ حَدِّثْنِي بِعَمَلٍ يُدْخِلُنِي الْجَنَّةَ قَالَ «بَخٍ بَخٍ سَأَلْتَ عَنْ أَمْرٍ عَظِيمٍ وَهُوَ يَسِيرٌ لِمَنْ يَسَّرَهُ اللَّهُ بِهِ تُقِيمُ الصَّلَاةَ الْمَكْتُوبَةَ وَتُؤْتِي الزَّكَاةَ الْمَفْرُوضَةَ وَلَا تُشْرِكُ بِاللَّهِ شَيْئًا»

✧ I said, "Tell me of a deed that will admit me to Paradise." He said, "Excellent, excellent. You have asked about a great matter, and it is easy for the one for whom Allah makes it easy: you establish the obligatory prayer, give the obligatory zakat, and do not associate anything with Allah."
