أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الذِّمَارِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَعِيدِ بْنِ رُمَّانَةَ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي قَالَ:
قِيلَ لِوَهْبِ بْنِ مُنَبِّهٍ: أَلَيْسَ مِفْتَاحُ الْجَنَّةِ: لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ ؟ قَالَ: بَلَى، وَلَكِنْ لَيْسَ مِنْ مِفْتَاحٍ إِلَّا وَلَهُ أَسْنَانٌ، فَمَنْ أَتَى الْبَابَ بِأَسْنَانِهِ، فُتِحَ لَهُ، وَمَنْ لَمْ يَأْتِ الْبَابَ بِأَسْنَانِهِ، لَمْ يُفْتَحْ لَهُ

Whoever comes to the door with its teeth, it will be opened for him, and whoever does not come to the door with its teeth, it will not be opened for him.'
