Al-Bukhari reported: It was said to Wahb ibn Munabbih, may Allah have mercy on him, “Is not the key to Paradise the statement: There is no god but Allah?” Whab said, “Of course, but rather every key has ridges. If you come with the correct key, the door will be opened for you; otherwise, it will never open.”

عن البخاري قِيلَ لِوَهْبِ بْنِ مُنَبِّهٍ رحمه الله أَلَيْسَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ مِفْتَاحُ الْجَنَّةِ قَالَ بَلَى وَلَكِنْ لَيْسَ مِفْتَاحٌ إِلَّا لَهُ أَسْنَانٌ فَإِنْ جِئْتَ بِمِفْتَاحٍ لَهُ أَسْنَانٌ فُتِحَ لَكَ وَإِلَّا لَمْ يُفْتَحْ لَكَ
