Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: One day the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) smiled, and it was said to him: "O Messenger of Allah, what are you smiling at?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "At people who will be led to Paradise bound in chains."
Ahmad and al-Tabarani recorded it. In one of Ahmad's two chains, the narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.
