حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ , حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ , عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ , عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ , عَنْ عَبِيدَةَ , عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ , قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِنِّي لَأَعْلَمُ آخِرَ أَهْلِ النَّارِ خُرُوجًا مِنْهَا , وَآخِرَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ دُخُولًا الْجَنَّةَ , رَجُلٌ يَخْرُجُ مِنَ النَّارِ حَبْوًا , فَيُقَالُ لَهُ : اذْهَبْ فَادْخُلِ الْجَنَّةَ , فَيَأْتِيهَا فَيُخَيَّلُ إِلَيْهِ أَنَّهَا مَلْأَى , فَيَرْجِعُ , فَيَقُولُ : يَا رَبِّ , وَجَدْتُهَا مَلْأَى , فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ : اذْهَبْ فَادْخُلِ الْجَنَّةَ , فَيَأْتِيهَا , فَيُخَيَّلُ إِلَيْهِ أَنَّهَا مَلْأَى , فَيَرْجِعُ , فَيَقُولُ : يَا رَبِّ , وَجَدْتُهَا مَلْأَى , فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ سُبْحَانَهُ : اذْهَبْ فَادْخُلِ الْجَنَّةَ , فَيَأْتِيهَا فَيُخَيَّلُ إِلَيْهِ أَنَّهَا مَلْأَى , فَيَرْجِعُ , فَيَقُولُ : يَا رَبِّ إِنَّهَا مَلْأَى , فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ : اذْهَبْ فَادْخُلِ الْجَنَّةَ , فَإِنَّ لَكَ مِثْلَ الدُّنْيَا وَعَشَرَةَ أَمْثَالِهَا , أَوْ إِنَّ لَكَ مِثْلَ عَشَرَةِ أَمْثَالِ الدُّنْيَا , فَيَقُولُ : أَتَسْخَرُ بِي أَوْ أَتَضْحَكُ بِي وَأَنْتَ الْمَلِكُ ؟ " , قَالَ : فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ضَحِكَ حَتَّى بَدَتْ نَوَاجِذُهُ , فَكَانَ يُقَالُ : هَذَا أَدْنَى أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ مَنْزِلًا .
´It was narrated from ‘Abdullah bin Mas’ud that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:` “I know the last of the people of Hell who will be brought forth from it, and the last of the people of Paradise to be admitted to Paradise. (It is) a man who will emerge from Hell crawling, and it will be said to him: ‘Go and enter Paradise.’ He will come to it and it will be made to appear to him as if it is full.’ Allah will say: ‘Go and enter Paradise.’ He will come to it and it will appear to him as if it is full. So he will say: ‘O Lord, I found it full.’ Allah will say: ‘Go and enter Paradise.’ He will come to it and it will be made to appear to him as if it is full. So he will say: ‘O Lord, I found it full.’ Allah will say: ‘Go and enter Paradise, for you will have the like of the world and ten times more, or you will have ten times the like of the world.’ He will say: ‘Are You mocking me, or are You laughing at me, when You are the Sovereign?’” He said: "And I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) smiling so broadly that his molar teeth could be seen." And he used to say: "This is the lowest of the people of Paradise in status."

Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:

➊ Those sinners who will be taken out of Hell will be removed according to their respective ranks: those with fewer sins will be taken out first, and those with more sins will be taken out later.

➋ The more sins a person has, the lower his rank will be.

➌ Even the person with the least rank in Paradise will receive a place ten or eleven times greater than the kingdom of any king.

➍ The servant will be repeatedly made to feel that there is no vacant place in Paradise, so that when he enters Paradise, he will experience even greater joy.

➎ Laughing at a moment of amazement or happiness is not contrary to asceticism (zuhd) and piety (taqwa).
