The deed which can draw you near to Paradise and take you away from Hell

Assalamu Alaikum Brothers,

It is narrated on the authority of Abu Ayyub Ansari that once during
the journey of the Holy Prophet (may peace of Allah be upon him) a
bedouin appeared before him and caught hold of the nosestring of his
she-camel and then said, Messenger of Allah (or Muhammad), inform me
about that which takes me near to Paradise and draws me away from the
Fire (of Hell). He (the narrator) said: The Prophet (may peace be upon
him) stopped for a while and cast a glance upon his companions and
then said: He was afforded a good opportunity (or he had been guided
well). He (the Holy Prophet) addressing the bedouin said: (Repeat)
whatever you have uttered. He (the bedouin) repeated that. Upon this
the Apostle (may peace be upon him) remarked: The deed which can draw
you near to Paradise and take you away from Hell is, that you worship
Allah and associate none with Him, and you establish prayer and pay
Zakat, and do good to your kin. After having uttered these words, the
Holy Prophet asked the bedouin to release the nosestring of his she-
camel.

[Sahih Muslim]

InshAllah, you all had a joyous Eid.

Allah hafiz,
