Ask for Allah's Mercy, not Justice

How can we be with Abu Bakr R.A. and such high ranking sahabees, i .e. close to Prophet Muhammad ? 

Some of us are hafiz, some of us pray tahajjud, some of us give lot of sadaqah. 

If we love the prophet  and the sahabees R.A. then we will be with them, but our amal will determine how close and levels. 

> How will we enter jannah?

By the rahmah of Allah. 

> Then why do we do all the amal if we'll enter jannah his His mercy?

Level of paradise/jannah will be determined by the good deeds. 

We must make dua that may Allah deal with us with his mercy, not justice; there are 2 stories in this regard.

1) There was an abid from Babi Israel who worshipped Allah for 500 years and he was told, enter by the mercy of Allah. He was like, I worshiped Allah for 500 years and thus I think I can enter jannah with my amal/good deeds. Angels were told to bring only 1 of the countless blessings he is gifted by Allah - his sight; and to place that on 1 side of the scale and place the good deeds of 500 years on the other side of the scale. The weight of sight flung the good deeds towards the sky. Then the abid realized he made a mistake and he asked Allah for forgiveness and begged to enter jannah by the mercy of Allah; not by his justice. 

2) 2 men were accuse of a murder. The innocent person, knowing that he was clean, made dua to Allah that ya Allah, please be just with me. The convict, knowing that Allah is aware that he's the real murderer, made dua to Allah that ya Allah, please have mercy on me. End result was that the convict was freed and the innocent guy was hanged. Reason for this was that the innocent person once killed an ant and since wanted justice, Allah gave him justice; ant's life for his own. On the other hand, Allah loved the convict's plea of mercy, because the convict realized that only Allah can save him despite his sin. 


Hadith:
Ibn Masud R.A. - a man came to Prophet ; what about a man who loves so and so people but their levels in jannah is higher than him. Allah will enter this man with those he loves. 


Quran: (Sura Tur)
Those who believe in the oneness of Allah and their offsprings and they follow them the same way (i.e. faith, religion), Allah will put the children with their parents and the grandparents in jannah in the same level. 
This is totally out of the mercy of Allah. 
> Example: Your dad's on Ferdous al a'la and your levels' in Jannatul Ma'wa (lower). Allah will take you and put you with your dad in Jannatul Ferdous. 


Hadith: 
Abu Zar al Ghaffari R.A. said: ya Rasoolullah , a man loves so and so, but he can't reach them in making good deeds. They have money, they make charity, but I don't have money ya Rasooulullah . They are healthy and full of iman and they came to salatul jamah but I didn't come to salatul jamah; I am busy with certain things; but I love them. 
Prophet Muhammad  said: Aba Zar, you will be with those you love in the same level in paradise inshallah. 
Abu Zar R.A. said: I love Allah and His messenger . (He was very smart and wanted prophet  to say that 'you'll be with me' :) ) 
Prophet  replied: you will be those you love. (Of course Rasoolullah was smarter than him! :)) 
He R.A. said: (again) ya Rasoolullah, I love Allah and him messenger. 
Prophet  said: you will be with those you love. 
Prophet  didn't give him what he wanted, because He doesn't know the unseen.
