Riyad as-Salihin 1887 (Book 19, Hadith 19) #38376
Different Levels of Superiority in Jannah

SUMMARY: This hadith explains that the people of Jannah will have different levels of superiority over each other, and those who believed in Allah and acknowledged the truthfulness of the Messengers will be able to reach the highest level.

Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet said, "The dwellers of Jannah will look at those in the upper abodes above them as you look at a shining star which remains in the eastern or western horizon; such will be the difference in superiority which some of them have over others". The Messenger of Allah was asked: "Will those be the dwellings of the Prophets which no one else will be able to reach?" He replied, "Yes, but by Him in Whose Hand my soul is! men who believed in Allah and acknowledged the truthfulness of the Messengers will reach them". Al-Bukhari and Muslim.
وعنه عن النبي قال‏:‏ ‏"‏إن أهل الجنة ليتراءون أهل الغرف من فوقهم كما تراءون الكوكب الدري الغابر في الأفق من المشرق أو المغرب لتفاضل ملا بينهم‏"‏ قالوا‏:‏ يا رسول الله، تلك منازل الأنبياء لا يبلغها غيرهم‏؟‏ قال‏:‏ “بلى والذي نفسي بيده رجال آمنوا بالله وصدقوا المرسلين‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏متفق عليه‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

This hadith explains that there are different levels of superiority among people in Jannah, or Paradise. Those who believe in Allah and acknowledge the truthfulness of His messengers will be able to reach a higher level than others. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was asked if these higher abodes would only be for prophets, but he replied that anyone who believes in Allah and acknowledges His messengers can reach them as well. This hadith teaches us that we should strive to believe wholeheartedly in Allah and accept His messengers so we can achieve a higher status when we enter Paradise.
