Anas bin Malik reported,

We were sitting with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he said, "A man from the people of Paradise will now appear before you." Then a man from the Ansar appeared, his beard still dripping with water from his ablution, holding his sandals in his left hand.The next day, the Prophet ﷺ said the same thing, and the same man appeared just as he had the first time. On the third day, the Prophet ﷺ said the same thing again, and that man appeared in the same condition as before.When the Prophet ﷺ got up, Abdullah bin Amr bin As followed the man and said, "I have quarreled with my father and sworn not to enter his house for three days. If you would take me in until those days pass, I would be grateful."The man replied, "Yes."Anas said that Abdullah used to relate that he stayed with this man for those three nights, but he did not see him get up at night for anything, except that whenever he stirred and turned over on his bed, he would remember Allah and say takbir, until he rose for the Fajr prayer.Abdullah said, "I never heard him say anything but good. When the three nights had passed and I was about to dismiss his deeds as insignificant, I said, 'Abdullah, there was no anger or estrangement between me and my father. But I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say three times, "A man from the people of Paradise will now appear before you," and you appeared all three times. So I wanted to stay with you to see what you do, that I might follow your example. But I have not seen you do much in the way of deeds. What has brought you to the rank the Messenger of Allah ﷺ mentioned?'He answered, 'It is nothing more than what you have seen.'When I turned to leave, he called me back and said, 'It is nothing more than what you have seen, except that I do not harbor any deceit toward any of the Muslims, nor do I envy anyone for any good that Allah has granted him.'"Abdullah said, "This is what has raised you to that rank, and this is what we are unable to do."

حدثنا عبد الرزاق حدثنا معمر عن الزهري قال

أخبرني أنس بن مالك قال

كنا جلوسا مع رسول الله ﷺ فقال يطلع عليكم الآن رجل من أهل الجنة فطلع رجل من الأنصار تنطف لحيته من وضوئه قد تعلق نعليه في يده الشمال فلما كان الغد قال النبي ﷺ مثل ذلك فطلع ذلك الرجل مثل المرة الأولى فلما كان اليوم الثالث قال النبي ﷺ مثل مقالته أيضا فطلع ذلك الرجل على مثل حاله الأولى فلما قام النبي ﷺ تبعه عبد الله بن عمرو بن العاص فقال إني لاحيت أبي فأقسمت أن لا أدخل عليه ثلاثا فإن رأيت أن تؤويني إليك حتى تمضي فعلت قال نعم قال أنس وكان عبد الله يحدث أنه بات معه تلك الليالي الثلاث فلم يره يقوم من الليل شيئا غير أنه إذا تعار وتقلب على فراشه ذكر الله عز وجل وكبر حتى يقوم لصلاة الفجر قال عبد الله غير أني لم أسمعه يقول إلا خيرا فلما مضت الثلاث ليال وكدت أن أحتقر عمله قلت يا عبد الله إني لم يكن بيني وبين أبي غضب ولا هجر ثم ولكن سمعت رسول الله ﷺ يقول لك ثلاث مرار يطلع عليكم الآن رجل من أهل الجنة فطلعت أنت الثلاث مرار فأردت أن آوي إليك لأنظر ما عملك فأقتدي به فلم أرك تعمل كثير عمل فما الذي بلغ بك ما قال رسول الله ﷺ فقال ما هو إلا ما رأيت قال فلما وليت دعاني فقال ما هو إلا ما رأيت غير أني لا أجد في نفسي لأحد من المسلمين غشا ولا أحسد أحدا على خير أعطاه الله إياه فقال عبد الله هذه التي بلغت بك وهي التي لا نطيق
