(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ ، حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ ، أَخْبَرَنَا الْمُعَلَّى بْنُ زِيَادٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي الْعَلَاءُ ، رَجُلٌ مِنْ مُزَيْنَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي الصِّدِّيقِ النَّاجِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ ، أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا جُلُوسًا يَقْرَؤُونَ الْقُرْآنَ ، وَيَدْعُونَ , قَالَ : فَخَرَجَ عَلَيْهِمْ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : فَلَمَّا رَأَيْنَاهُ سَكَتْنَا ، فَقَالَ : " أَلَيْسَ كُنْتُمْ تَصْنَعُونَ كَذَا وَكَذَا ؟ " , قُلْنَا : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : " فَاصْنَعُوا كَمَا كُنْتُمْ تَصْنَعُونَ " ، وَجَلَسَ مَعَنَا ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : " أَبْشِرُوا صَعَالِيكَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ بِالْفَوْزِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ عَلَى الْأَغْنِيَاءِ بِخَمْسِ مِئَةٍ " ، أَحْسَبُهُ قَالَ : سَنَةً .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the companions (may Allah be pleased with them) were sitting and reciting the Holy Qur'an, when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also arrived. When we saw him, we became silent. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Were you not doing such and such?" We replied, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Yes, we were." Upon this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Continue doing as you were," and he himself sat with us. After a little while, he said, "O group of the poor! Rejoice, for you will enter Paradise five hundred years before the wealthy — which will be half a day of the Day of Resurrection."
