حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْمُعَلَّى الدِّمَشْقِيُّ ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ الْمُقْرِئُ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ ثنا صَدَقَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ عَنِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ جَمِيلٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْقَاسِمَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ الْجَنَّةَ فَإِذَا أَنَا بِخَشَفَةٍ بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ فَقُلْتُ مَنْ هَذَا يَا جِبْرِيلُ؟ فَقَالَ هَذَا بِلَالٌ الْمُؤَذِّنُ فَنَظَرْتُ فَإِذَا أَكْثَرُ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ الضُّعَفَاءُ وَالْمَسَاكِينُ وَإِذَا أَقَلُّ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ الْأَغْنِيَاءُ وَالنِّسَاءُ قُلْتُ لَهُ مَا هَذَا يَا جِبْرِيلُ؟ فَقَالَ إِنَّ الْأَغْنِيَاءَ يُحْبَسُونَ عِنْدَ بَابِ الْجَنَّةِ يُحَاسَبُونَ وَيُمَحَّصُونَ وَأَمَّا النِّسَاءُ فَأَلْهَاهُنَّ الْأَحْمَرَانِ الذَّهَبُ وَالْحَرِيرُ ثُمَّ خَرَجْتُ إِلَى أَبْوَابِ الْجَنَّةِ الثَّمَانِيَةِ فَإِذَا بِالْمِيزَانِ فَأَخَذَ كِفَّةً فَوُضِعَ فِيهَا جَمِيعُ أُمَّتِي وَجُعِلْتُ فِي الْكِفَّةِ الْأُخْرَى فَرَجَحَتْ بِهِمْ ثُمَّ عُرِضَتْ عَلَيَّ أُمَّتِي رَجُلًا رَجُلًا فَاسْتَبْطَأْتُ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ عَوْفٍ فَلَمَّا جَاءَ قُلْتُ مَا حَبَسَكَ؟ فَبَكَى إِلَيَّ وَبَكَيْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ كُنْتُ هُنَاكَ وَرَاءَ الْبَابِ أُحَاسَبُ وَأُمَحَّصُ حَتَّى ظَنَنْتُ أَنِّي لَنْ أَرَاكَ وَلَنْ تَرَانِي

✧ From the Prophet ﷺ, he said: “I entered Paradise, and suddenly there was a rustling sound before me. I said, ‘Who is this, O Jibril?’ He said, ‘This is Bilal, the muezzin.’ I looked, and the majority of the people of Paradise were the weak and the poor, and the fewest of the people of Paradise were the rich and women. I said to him, ‘What is this, O Jibril?’ He said, ‘The rich are detained at the gate of Paradise, being called to account and purified. As for the women, the two red things distracted them: gold and silk.’ Then I went out to the eight gates of Paradise, and there was the Balance. He took one pan and placed my entire community in it, and I was placed in the other pan, and it outweighed them. Then my community was presented to me man by man, and I thought ‘Abd al-Rahman b. ‘Awf was slow. When he came, I said, ‘What held you back?’ He wept to me, and I wept to him. He said, ‘O Messenger of God, I was there behind the gate, being called to account and purified, until I thought I would never see you and you would never see me.’”
