Do Halachos of Rambam Qualify?

The Gemara states: "It was taught in the name of the house of Eliyahu, he who learns halachos every day is guaranteed entry into the world to come."
Reading this Gemara, a certain questioner understood it to mean at least two halachos a day. He therefore turned to the Rashba"sh, R. Shlomo b. Shimon Duran of Algiers, and asked if two halachos of Rambam or other authors qualify for this promise.
R. Shlomo replied that they indeed do. His logic: Even the halachos of the Mishnah are a compilation of earlier halachos executed by R. Yehudah Hanasi. This would give the Rambam definite qualification, as he too merely compiled earlier sources.
