Hadith 2979 Part B

setting

Abu 'Abd al-Rahman reported

that three persons came to 'Abdullah b. Amr b. 'As while I was sitting with him and they said : By Allah , we have nothing with us either in the form of provision , riding animals or wealth. Thereupon he said to them : I am prepared to do whatever you like. If you come to us , we would give you what Allah would make available for you. and if you like I would make a mention of your case to the ruler , and if you like you can show patience also. for I have heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying : The destitute amongst the emigrants would precede the rich emigrants by forty years in getting into Paradise on the Day of Resurrection. Thereupon they said : We then , show patience and do not ask for anything.
