One day a companion of the Prophet ﷺ asks him, "Can I ask you a favor?" The Prophet ﷺ says, "What's the favor that you want?" He says, "I want to be your companion in Jannah." That's no easy favor to ask for — it's a big favor. What did the Prophet ﷺ ask from him? "If you want to be my best pal in Jannah, what do you need to do?"

أَعِنِّي عَلَى نَفْسِكَ بِكَثْرَةِ السُّجُودِ

"Help me (to help you) by performing many prostrations (sujood)."
(Sahih Muslim, Book 4, Hadith 1092 — on the authority of Rabi'ah ibn Ka'b al-Aslami)

"You want to be my pal in Paradise? Do lots of sujood — put your head on the floor — then you will be with me in Paradise."

Who wants to be the companion of the Prophet ﷺ in Jannah? You all want to be? Then the question is — how much sujood are we going to do to get there?
