Sunan Ibn Majah 4115 (Book 37, Hadith 16) #33471
Weak and Oppressed Kings of Paradise

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is telling us that the kings of Paradise are those who are weak, oppressed, and not paid any heed. If they swear an oath by Allah, Allah will fulfill it.

It was narrated from Mu’adh bin Jabal that the Messenger of Allah said: "Shall I not tell you about the kings of Paradise?’ I said: 'Yes.’ He said: 'A weak and oppressed man who wears tattered clothes and is not paid any heed. If he swears (an oath) by Allah, Allah fulfills it.’"
حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ وَاقِدٍ، عَنْ بُسْرِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ أَبِي إِدْرِيسَ الْخَوْلاَنِيِّ، عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ ‏"‏ أَلاَ أُخْبِرُكَ عَنْ مُلُوكِ الْجَنَّةِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قُلْتُ بَلَى ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ رَجُلٌ ضَعِيفٌ مُسْتَضْعَفٌ ذُو طِمْرَيْنِ لاَ يُؤْبَهُ لَهُ لَوْ أَقْسَمَ عَلَى اللَّهِ لأَبَرَّهُ
