It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin Aas (may Allah be pleased with them both), he says: One day the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, while we were present with him: Glad tidings are for the strangers. Someone asked: Who are the strangers, O Messenger of Allah? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: They are the righteous people found among many evil people; those who obey them are fewer than those who disobey them. He says: On another day, the sun was rising while we were present with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: On the Day of Resurrection, there will come people from my Ummah whose light will be like the light of the sun. We asked: O Messenger of Allah! Who will these people be? In one narration: Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah! Are these people us? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: No, and there is much good in you people as well. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: They are the poor emigrants, through whom undesirable things are avoided, and when one of them dies, his need is in his chest. These people will be gathered from different regions of the earth.

Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Because of the jihad of the poor Muhajirun, other people attain security. What is meant by “need in the chest” is that he was not able to fulfill the desire of his heart during his lifetime, until he became a guest of Allah, the Exalted.
