Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ وَهُوَ أَبُو حَيَّانَ التَّيْمِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ أَعْرَابِيًّا جَاءَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ دُلَّنِي عَلَى عَمَلٍ إِذَا عَمِلْتُهُ دَخَلْتُ الْجَنَّةَ قَالَ تَعْبُدُ اللَّهَ لَا
تُشْرِكُ بِهِ شَيْئًا وَتُقِيمُ الصَّلَاةَ الْمَكْتُوبَةَ وَتُؤَدِّي الزَّكَاةَ الْمَفْرُوضَةَ وَتَصُومُ رَمَضَانَ قَالَ وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ لَا أَزِيدُ عَلَى هَذَا شَيْئًا أَبَدًا وَلَا أَنْقُصُ مِنْهُ فَلَمَّا وَلَّى قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ سَرَّهُ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَى رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ فَلْيَنْظُرْ إِلَى هَذَا

English Translation
'Affan narrated to us, Wuhayb narrated to us, Yahya ibn Sa'id, who is Abu Hayyan al-Taymi, narrated to us, from Abu Zur'ah, from Abu Hurayrah (رضي الله عنه) that a Bedouin came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, direct me to a deed by which, if I do it, I will enter Paradise.' He said: 'Worship Allah and do not associate anything with Him, establish the prescribed prayer, pay the obligatory zakah, and fast Ramadan.' The man said: 'By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, I will not add anything to this nor will I diminish from it.' When he turned away, the Prophet ﷺ said: 'Whoever wishes to look at a man from the people of Paradise, let him look at this man.'
