The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do you know who will be the first of Allah's creation to enter Paradise?"They replied, "Allah and His Messenger know best."He said, "The first of Allah's creation to enter Paradise will be the poor emigrants, by whom the frontiers are secured and through whom calamities are warded off. One of them dies with his need still locked in his chest, unable to fulfill it. Then Allah will say to whichever of His angels He wills, 'Go to them and greet them.'The angels will say, 'We are the dwellers of Your heaven and the choicest of Your creation. Do You command us to go to these people and greet them with peace?'He will say, 'They were servants who worshipped Me, associating nothing with Me. Through them the frontiers were secured and calamities were warded off, and one of them would die with his need still locked in his chest, unable to fulfill it.'Then the angels will come to them, entering upon them from every gate, 'Peace be upon you for what you patiently endured. How excellent is the final home' [Rad 13:24]."
عن رسول الله ﷺ أنه قال: هل تدرون أول من يدخل الجنة من خلق الله؟ قالوا: الله ورسوله أعلم قال: أول من يدخل الجنة من خلق الله الفقراء المهاجرون، الذين تسد بهم الثغور، ويتقى بهم المكاره، ويموت أحدهم وحاجته في صدره، لا يستطيع لها قضاء، فيقول الله عز وجل لمن يشاء من ملائكته: ائتوهم، فحيوهم، فتقول الملائكة: نحن سكان سمائك، وخيرتك من خلقك، أفتأمرنا أن نأتي هؤلاء، فنسلم عليهم؟ قال: إنهم كانوا عبادا يعبدوني، لا يشركون بي شيئا، وتسد بهم الثغور، ويتقى بهم المكاره، ويموت أحدهم، وحاجته في صدره، لا يستطيع لها قضاء. قال: فتأتيهم الملائكة عند ذلك، فيدخلون عليهم من كل باب: {سلام عليكم بما صبرتم فنعم عقبى الدار}
Ahmad (6570), Bazzar in his Musnad (2457), and Ibn Hibban (7421), who graded it sahih, all narrated it via Abu Abdul-Rahman Abdullah bin Yazid Muqri, who said, Saeed bin Abu Ayub narrated to me, who said, Marouf bin Suwayd Judhami narrated to me, from Abu Ushana Muafiri, from Abdullah bin Amr bin As, and he related it.Marouf bin Suwayd was mentioned by Ibn Hibban among the trustworthy narrators, and the Hafiz said of him, "Acceptable," meaning when corroborated, and he has indeed been corroborated. Ahmad (6571) narrated it through another route, from Ibn Lahia, who said, Abu Ushana narrated to us, with similar wording. Hakim (2/71–72) also narrated it through another route, from Amr bin Harith, that Abu Ushana Muafiri narrated to him, relating something similar.With this corroboration, the chain rises to the level of hasan.
