Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 20743a
"مَنْ أَقَامَ الصَّلاةَ، وَآتَى الزَّكَاةَ، وَمَاتَ لا يُشْركُ بِاللهِ شَيئًا كَانَ حَقًّا عَلَى اللهِ أَنْ يُدْخِلَهُ الْجَنَّةَ، هَاجَرَ أَوْ مَاتَ في مَوْلِدِهِ، قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ الله أَلا نُبَشِّرُ بِهَا أَصْحَابَكَ؟ قَال: دَعُوا النَّاسَ فَلْيَعْمَلُوا؛ فَإِنَّ فِي الْجَنَّةِ مِائَةَ دَرَجَةٍ مَا بَينَ كُلِّ دَرَجَتَين كَمَا بَينَ السَّمَاءِ والأَرْضِ، أَعَدَّهَا اللهُ لِلْمُجَاهِدِينَ في سَبِيلِهِ- وَلَوْلا أَنْ أَشُقَّ عَلَى النَّاسِ بَعْدِى مَا تَخَلَّفْتُ عَنْ سَريَّةٍ أَبْعَثُهَا، وَلَكِنْ لا يَجدُونَ سَعَةً فَيَتَّبِعُونِى، وَلا تَطِيبُ أَنْفُسُهُمْ أَنْ يَتَخَلَّفُوا بَعْدِى، وَلا أجِدُ مَا أُفْضِلُ بِهِ عَلَيهِمْ، وَلَوَدِدْتُ أَنِّي أَغْزُو فَأُقْتَلَ ثُمَّ أَحْيَا ثُمَّ أَغْزُو فَأُقْتَلَ ثُمَّ أَحْيَا ثُمَّ أُقْتَلَ".

"Whoever establishes the prayer and gives the zakat, and dies without associating anything with Allah, it is a truth upon Allah that He will admit him to Paradise, whether he emigrated or died in his birthplace." They said: "O Messenger of Allah, shall we not give glad tidings of this to your companions?" He said: "Leave the people so that they may act, for in Paradise there are one hundred levels, between each two levels is as the distance between the heaven and the earth, which Allah has prepared for those who strive in His cause. And were it not that I would burden the people after me, I would not stay behind from any expedition that I send out, but they do not find sufficient ease and follow me, nor are their souls content to remain behind after me. And I do not find that with which to provide for them. And I would love that I fight and be killed, then be brought to life, then fight and be killed, then be brought to life, then be killed."
