النص العربي
إِنْ صَلَّيْتُ المَكْتُوبَاتِ، وَصُمْتُ رَمَضَانَ، وَأَحْلَلْتُ الحَلالَ، وَحَرَّمْتُ الحَرَامَ، وَلَمْ أَزِدْ عَلَى ذَلِكَ شَيْئًا، أَأَدْخُلُ الجَنَّةَ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ
الترجمة الإنجليزية
A man asked: 'If I pray the obligatory prayers, fast Ramadan, treat the halal as halal and the haram as haram, and add nothing more — will I enter Paradise?' He ﷺ said: 'Yes.'
— Jābir (RA) (Muslim)
الشرح
The minimum is real and achievable. Anything beyond is bonus.
شرح موسّع
A liberating hadith. The man asked: is the floor enough? The Prophet ﷺ said: yes. The five obligatory prayers, Ramadan, treating halal as halal and haram as haram — that floor is real and rewarded with Jannah.
Ibn Rajab uses this hadith to refute two extremes: those who say nothing matters except inward states, and those who pile burdens on themselves and others until religion becomes impossible. The Prophet ﷺ here defines the realistic minimum that secures success — and only after one is firm on the floor does it make sense to climb to the voluntary.
من كلام أهل العلم
"The hadith proves that abandoning the prohibited is more important than performing the voluntary — for the prohibitions are absolute, while the voluntary supplements."
"‘He will enter Paradise’ — directly, without first being punished. This is the meaning understood by the Salaf."
الفقه والأحكام
- •The five pillars + leaving the major sins is the legal floor for entering Jannah without prior punishment.
- •Voluntary acts (sunnah prayers, fasting Mondays/Thursdays, night prayer) raise one’s rank but are not entry-conditions.
- •Treating ‘halal as halal and haram as haram’ includes belief that they are so — denying their status is more dangerous than violating them.

أخطاء شائعة وتنبيهات
- ⚠‘Minimum’ does not mean lazy — it means foundational. Anyone settling for minimum without striving for more is in spiritual stagnation.
- ⚠Some interpret this hadith as license to skip Sunnah prayers entirely — the spirit is encouragement, not dispensation.
