There was a reader of ours who recited to us, and we would listen to the Book of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic. He said: Then the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Praise be to Allah who has made among my nation those whom I have been commanded to keep my soul patient with." He said: Then the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, sat in our midst to place himself evenly among us, then he gestured with his hand like this, and they formed a circle around him, and their faces became visible to him. He said: I did not see the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, recognize any of them except me. Then the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Rejoice, O company of the poor emigrants, with the complete light on the Day of Resurrection. You will enter Paradise before the rich people by half a day, and that is five hundred years." (1)

3667 Muhammad ibn al-Muthanna narrated to us, Abd al-Salam — meaning Ibn Mutahhar, Abu Zafar — narrated to me, Musa ibn Khalaf al-Ammi narrated to us, from Qatada, from Anas ibn Malik, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "That I should sit with a people who remember Allah from the morning prayer until the sun rises is more beloved to me than that I should free four slaves from the descendants of Isma'il." And he said: "And that I should sit with a people who remember Allah from the afternoon prayer until the sun sets is more beloved to me than that I should free four slaves from the descendants of Isma'il."

(1) Its chain is weak due to the unknown status of al-Ala' ibn Bashir. Abu al-Siddiq al-Naji: he is Bakr ibn Amr. It was also recorded by Ahmad (11915), Abu Ya'la (1151) and (1317), al-Tabarani in "al-Awsat" (8866), al-Bayhaqi in "Shu'ab al-Iman" (10492), and in "Dala'il al-Nubuwwa" 1/351-352, and al-Baghawi in his "Tafsir" 2/100, via the chain of al-Mu'alla ibn Ziyad, with this chain.
Ibn Majah (4123) and al-Tirmidhi (2508) recorded from the chain of Atiyya al-Awfi, from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri, from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, who said: "The poor emigrants will enter Paradise before their rich counterparts by the measure of five hundred years." Al-Tirmidhi said: A hasan gharib hadith.
This final portion has a supporting witness from the hadith of Abu Hurayra in Ahmad (7946) and (10654), Ibn Majah (4122), al-Tirmidhi (2510) and (2512), al-Nasa'i in "al-Kubra" (11285), and the chain of Ahmad in the second place is sahih, and the chain among the rest is hasan.
And from the hadith of Abd Allah ibn Amr ibn al-As in Ahmad (6578), Muslim (2979), and al-Nasa'i in "al-Kubra" (5845), but with the wording: "by forty autumns."
