حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ السَّلَامِ بْنِ عَجْلَانَ الْهُجَيْمِيِّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عُثْمَانَ النَّهْدِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: «
أَنَا أَوَّلُ مَنْ يُفْتَحُ لَهُ بَابُ الْجَنَّةِ، إِلَّا أَنَّهُ لَتَأْتِي امْرَأَةٌ تُبَادِرُنِي فَأَقُولُ لَهَا: مَا لَكِ فَمَنْ أَنْتِ ؟ فَتَقُولُ: أَنَا امْرَأَةٌ قَعَدْتُ عَلَى أَيْتَامٍ لِي
