From the Musnad of Abu Sa'id al-Khudri
Musnad Abi Ya'la 1151 — he said: I was among a group of the poor
حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ شَقِيقٍ، حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنِ الْمُعَلَّى بْنِ زِيَادٍ، عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ قَالَ: وَكَانَ مَا عَلِمْتُ شُجَاعًا عِنْدَ اللِّقَاءِ، بَكَّاءً عِنْدَ الذِّكْرِ، عَنْ أَبِي الصِّدِّيقِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ: قَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ: كُنْتُ فِي عِصَابَةٍ مِنْ ضُعَفَاءِ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ قَالَ: وَإِنَّ بَعْضَهُمْ لَيَسْتَتِرُ بِبَعْضٍ مِنَ الْعُرْيِ، قَالَ: وَقَارِئٌ لَنَا يَقْرَأُ عَلَيْنَا، فَنَحْنُ نَسْتَمِعُ إِلَى كِتَابِ اللَّهِ، فَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَامَ عَلَيْنَا، فَلَمَّا قَامَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم سَكَتَ الْقَارِئُ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم: «مَا كُنْتُمْ تَصْنَعُونَ؟»، قَالَ: فَقُلْنَا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، كَانَ قَارِئٌ يَقْرَأُ وَكُنَّا نَسْتَمِعُ إِلَى كِتَابِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم: «الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي جَعَلَ فِي أُمَّتِي مَنْ أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أَصْبِرَ مَعَهُمْ»، قَالَ: ثُمَّ جَلَسَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَسْطَنَا لِيَعْدِلَ نَفْسَهُ فِينَا قَالَ: ثُمَّ أَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ اسْتَدِيرُوا، فَاسْتَدَارَتِ الْحَلْقَةُ وَبَرَزَتْ وُجُوهُهُمْ لَهُ، قَالَ: فَمَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَرَفَ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدًا غَيْرِي، فَقَالَ: «أَبْشِرُوا يَا مَعْشَرَ صَعَالِيكِ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ بِالنُّورِ الدَّائِمِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ، تَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ قَبْلَ أَغْنِيَاءِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ بِنِصْفِ يَوْمٍ، وَذَاكَ خَمْسُ مِائَةِ سَنَةٍ»
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "I was among a group of the poor and destitute of the Muhajirun who, because of a lack of clothing, were screening themselves (to cover their bodies) behind one another. A reciter of ours was reciting the Qur'an to us, and we were all listening to the recitation of the Book of Allah. Just then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came and stood over us, and as soon as he (peace and blessings be upon him) stood there, the reciter fell silent. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: 'What were you doing?' We said: 'O Messenger of Allah, a reciter was reciting and we were listening to the Book of Allah.' At this the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'All praise is for Allah, who has placed in my Ummah people with whom I have been commanded to keep myself (steadfastly).' The narrator said: Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sat down among us in such a way as to be equally placed among all of us. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) gestured with his blessed hand: 'Form a circle.' So everyone sat in a circle, and all their faces came before him (peace and blessings be upon him). Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I saw that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not recognise any of them except me. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'O company of the poor Muhajirun, receive the glad tidings of perpetual light on the Day of Resurrection. You will enter Paradise half a day before the wealthy among the believers, and that half day is (equal to) five hundred years.'"
