It is narrated from Sayyiduna Suhayb (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say concerning the first Muhajirun: "They are the foremost, the intercessors, and those who are confident before their Lord. By the One in Whose hand is my soul! They will come on the Day of Resurrection with weapons on their shoulders, and they will knock at the gate of Paradise. The keepers of Paradise will ask them: 'Who are you?' They will say: 'We are the Muhajirun.' The keepers will ask: 'Has your reckoning been taken?' Then they will fall on their knees, empty out their quivers, raise their hands towards the sky and say: 'O our Lord! For what shall we be reckoned? We left everything behind; we left our homes, our wealth and our children!' Then Allah Almighty will make for them wings of gold set with chrysolite and rubies, and they will fly until they enter Paradise. This is the meaning of Allah's saying: 'And they will say: Praise be to Allah, Who has removed from us all grief' [Surah Fatir: 34-35] ." Hudhayfah (the narrator) says that Sayfi related that Suhayb said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "They will know their dwellings in Paradise even better than they knew their homes in this world." This hadith is gharib (singular) in both its chain and its text. I have mentioned it among the virtues of Suhayb because he is one of the first Muhajirun and its narrators are his own descendants. We have written this hadith only from our Shaykh, the ascetic Abu Amr (may Allah have mercy on him).
