The Poor Emigrants Welcomed into Paradise

هل تدرونَ مَن أوَّلُ مَن يدخُلُ الجنَّةَ مِن خَلْقِ اللهِ ؟ قالوا : اللهُ ورسولُه أعلَمُ قال : أوَّلُ مَن يدخُلُ الجنَّةَ مِن خَلْقِ اللهِ الفُقَراءُ المُهاجِرونَ الَّذينَ يُسَدُّ بهم الثُّغورُ وتُتَّقَى بهم المَكارِهُ ويموتُ أحَدُهم وحاجتُه في صدرِه لا يستطيعُ لها قضاءً فيقولُ اللهُ لِمَن يشاءُ مِن ملائكتِه : ائتُوهم فحَيُّوهم فيقولُ الملائكةُ : ربَّنا نحنُ سُكَّانُ سمَواتِكَ وخِيرتُكَ مِن خَلْقِكَ أفتأمُرُنا أنْ نأتيَ هؤلاءِ فنُسلِّمَ عليهم ؟ قال : إنَّهم كانوا عبادًا يعبُدوني لا يُشرِكون بي شيئًا وتُسَدُّ بهم الثُّغورُ وتُتَّقى بهم المَكارِهُ ويموتُ أحَدُهم وحاجتُه في صدرِه لا يستطيعُ لها قضاءً قال : فتأتيهم الملائكةُ عندَ ذلكَ فيدخُلونَ عليهم مِن كلِّ بابٍ : {سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكُمْ بِمَا صَبَرْتُمْ فَنِعْمَ عُقْبَى الدَّارِ} [الرعد: 24] )

Do you know the first ones to enter Paradise amongst the creation of Allah? The Sahabah replied: Allah and His Rasul know best. He said: The poor Muhajirin, through whom (at times of trials) adversities are refrained and when any of them die, his needs remain in his chest, he is unable to get them fulfilled. Allah will say to those angels He desires: Go to them and greet them with Salam. The angels will say: O our Rabb! We are the inhabitants of Your skies and the best of Your creation. Do you order us to go and offer Salam to them? Allah will say: Indeed, they are slaves who worshipped Me, not ascribing any partners to Me, through them (at times of trials) adversities are refrained and when any of them die, his needs remain in his chest, he is unable to fulfil them. Thus, the angels will come to them and enter upon them from every door (saying): Peace be upon you for your patient endurance! How excellent is the final home.
