Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, narrates: I heard Sayyiduna Abu al-Qasim, peace and blessings be upon him, say: "Our Lord is amazed at those people who will be taken to Paradise in chains."

(Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) The statement of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: "Our Lord is amazed at those people," is according to the common usage of people, because when someone is addressed, the words used are those that are commonly understood among people. And in this narration, what is meant by being chained is: Muslims will have captured these people from the lands of the polytheists, they will have been bound in chains, and then brought to the Islamic state, until they accept Islam and enter Paradise. In the narration transmitted from Sayyiduna Aswad bin Sari’, may Allah be pleased with him, this is also the meaning of the Prophet’s, peace and blessings be upon him, statement: "Are not your best people the children of the polytheists?" By these words, it can also be meant: here the word "min" is considered omitted, and the meaning is: "Are not some among the children of the polytheists among your best people?"
