It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do you know who among Allah’s creation will be the first to enter Paradise? The Companions said: Allah and His Messenger know best. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The first among Allah’s creation to enter Paradise will be those poor and emigrants, through whom the borders are protected and through whom people are saved from undesirable matters (from the enemies), while they themselves depart from this world in such a state that their desires remain within their hearts and they do not have the power to fulfill their desires. Allah Almighty will command His angels to go and greet these people with peace. The angels will say: O Allah! We are the dwellers of Your heavens and Your best creation. Do You command us to go to these people and greet them with peace? Allah Almighty will say: These are the people who used to worship Me, did not associate anyone with Me, through whom the borders were protected, and through whom people were saved from undesirable matters, while they themselves died in such a state that their desires remained within their hearts and they did not have the power to fulfill their desires. After this, these angels will come to them and enter from every door and greet them with peace, saying: {سَلٰمٌ عَلَیْکُمْ بِمَا صَبَرْتُمْ فَنِعْمَ عُقْبَی الدَّارِ} (Peace be upon you for what you patiently endured. And excellent is the final home.) (Surah Ar-Ra’d: 22, 23)
