Sunan Ibn Majah 4123 (Book 37, Hadith 24) #33479
The Poor Enter Paradise Before the Rich

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said that the poor Muhajirun will enter Paradise before the rich, by a period of five hundred years.

It was narrated from Abu Sa’eed Al-Khudri that the Messenger of Allah said: "The poor Muhajirun will enter Paradise before the rich, the equivalent of five hundred years".
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا بَكْرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ الْمُخْتَارِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ عَطِيَّةَ الْعَوْفِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ ـ قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ فُقَرَاءَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ قَبْلَ أَغْنِيَائِهِمْ بِمِقْدَارِ خَمْسِمِائَةِ سَنَةٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how those who are poor will enter paradise before those who are rich. It was narrated by Abu Saeed Al-Khudri, a companion of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). He said that the Messenger of Allah said that the poor Muhajirun will enter paradise before the rich, by a period of five hundred years. This means that even though someone may be wealthy and have all kinds of material possessions, if they do not help those in need or use their wealth to benefit others then they may not be rewarded as much as someone who is less fortunate but still does good deeds and helps others. This hadith teaches us to be generous with our wealth and resources and to always remember those less fortunate than us. It also reminds us to strive for righteousness in all aspects of our lives so we can reap its rewards in this life and in the hereafter.
