Sunan Abi Dawud 3666 (Book 26, Hadith 26) #23956
The Promise of Paradise for the Poor Emigrants

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) visited a group of poor emigrants and promised them that they will enter Paradise half a day before the rich.

Narrated AbuSa'id al-Khudri: I was sitting in the company of the poor members of the emigrants. Some of them were sitting together because of lack of clothing while a reader was reciting to us. All of a sudden the Messenger of Allah came along and stood beside us. When the Messenger of Allah stood, the reader stopped and greeted him. He asked: What were you doing? We said: Messenger of Allah! We had a reader who was reciting to us and we were listening to the Book of Allah, the Exalted. The Messenger of Allah then said: Praise be to Allah Who has put among my people those with whom I have been ordered to stay. The Messenger of Allah then sat among us so as to be like one of us, and when he had made a sign with his hand they sat in a circle with their faces turned towards him. The narrator said: I think that the Messenger of Allah did not recognize any of them except me. The Messenger of Allah then said: Rejoice, you group of poor emigrants, in the announcement that you will have perfect light on the Day of Resurrection. You will enter Paradise half a day before the rich, and that is five hundred years.
