The Book of Purification and its Sunnah

Sunan Ibn Mājah 470

لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ إِلاَّ فُتِحَتْ لَهُ ثَمَانِيَةُ أَبْوَابِ الْجَنَّةِ يَدْخُلُ مِنْ أَيِّهَا شَاءَ

lā ilaha illā-Llāh wa-ashhadu anna muḥammadan ʿabduhu warasūluhu illā futiḥat lah thamāniyah abwābi al-jannah yadkhulu min ayyihā shāʾa

The full narration

It was narrated that 'Umar bin Khattab said:"The Messenger of Allah said: 'There is no Muslim who performs ablution and does it well, then says: Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah, wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan `abduhu wa rasuluhu (I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger),' (except that) eight gates of Paradise will be opened for him, and he will enter through whichever one he wants
