Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I will be the first person to open the gate of Paradise. Then a woman will come and hasten ahead of me. I will say to her: 'What is the matter with you? And who are you?' She will say: 'I am the woman who remained a widow for the sake of my orphaned children.'"
Imam Abu Ya'la recorded it; its chain contains a narrator, Abd al-Salam bin Ajlan, whom Abu Hatim and Ibn Hibban declared trustworthy; he (Ibn Hibban) says: He makes mistakes and narrates contrary to others. The remaining narrators of this report are thiqat (trustworthy).
