From Yusuf: Gates of Paradise

Assalamualaikum guys. InshaAllah Ramadan is going well for everyone.
Here is a hadith I found inspirational:

Volume 3, Book 31, Number 121:

'Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Apostle said, "Whoever gives two kinds (of things or
property) in charity for Allah's Cause, will be called from the gates
of Paradise and will be addressed, 'O slaves of Allah! Here is
prosperity.' So, whoever was amongst the people who used to offer
their prayers, will be called from the gate of the prayer; and whoever
was amongst the people who used to participate in Jihad, will be
called from the gate of Jihad; and whoever was amongst those who used
to observe fasts, will be called from the gate of Ar-Raiyan; whoever
was amongst those who used to give in charity, will be called from the
gate of charity." Abu Bakr said, "Let my parents be sacrificed for
you, O Allah's Apostle! No distress or need will befall him who will
be called from those gates. Will there be any one who will be called
from all these gates?" The Prophet replied, "Yes, and I hope you will
be one of them."
