(حديث موقوف) قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ : وَجَاءَ ثَلَاثَةُ نَفَرٍ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ ، وَأَنَا عِنْدَهُ ، فَقَالُوا يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ : إِنَّا وَاللَّهِ مَا نَقْدِرُ عَلَى شَيْءٍ ، لَا نَفَقَةٍ ، وَلَا دَابَّةٍ ، وَلَا مَتَاعٍ ، فَقَالَ لَهُمْ : مَا شِئْتُمْ إِنْ شِئْتُمْ رَجَعْتُمْ إِلَيْنَا ، فَأَعْطَيْنَاكُمْ مَا يَسَّرَ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ ، وَإِنْ شِئْتُمْ ذَكَرْنَا أَمْرَكُمْ لِلسُّلْطَانِ ، وَإِنْ شِئْتُمْ صَبَرْتُمْ ، سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " إِنَّ فُقَرَاءَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ يَسْبِقُونَ الْأَغْنِيَاءَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ بِأَرْبَعِينَ خَرِيفًا " ، قَالُوا : فَإِنَّا نَصْبِرُ لَا نَسْأَلُ شَيْئًا .
Abu 'Abdal-Rahman reported that three persons came to 'Abdullah bin 'Amr (RA) bin 'As while I was sitting with him and they said: By Allah, we have nothing with us either in the form of provision, riding animals or wealth. Thereupon he said to them: I am prepared to do whatever you like. If you come to us, we would give you what Allah would make available for you and if you like I would make a mention of your case to the ruler, and if you like you can show patience also for I have heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: Destitute amongst the emigrants would precede the rich emigrants by forty years in getting into Paradise on the Day of Resurrection. Thereupon they said: We then show patience and do not ask for anything.
