Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، أَنْبَأَنَا أَبُو غَسَّانَ، بُهْلُولٌ حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ عُبَيْدَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ اشْتَكَى فُقَرَاءُ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ مَا فَضَّلَ اللَّهُ بِهِ عَلَيْهِمْ أَغْنِيَاءَهُمْ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ يَا مَعْشَرَ الْفُقَرَاءِ أَلاَ أُبَشِّرُكُمْ أَنَّ فُقَرَاءَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ قَبْلَ أَغْنِيَائِهِمْ بِنِصْفِ يَوْمٍ خَمْسِمِائَةِ عَامٍ ‏"‏ ‏. ثُمَّ تَلاَ مُوسَى هَذِهِ الآيَةَ ‏‏{وَإِنَّ يَوْمًا عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ كَأَلْفِ سَنَةٍ مِمَّا تَعُدُّونَ }‏

Translation

Ishaq ibn Mansur informed us; Abu Ghassan Buhlul narrated to us; Musa ibn ‘Ubaydah narrated to us, from ‘Abdullah ibn Dinar, from ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Umar, who said: The poor among the Muhajirun complained to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) about the advantage Allah had given the rich over them. He said: “Poor people, shall I not give you glad tidings? The poor among the believers will enter Paradise half a day—five hundred years—before the rich.” Then Musa recited this verse: “A day with your Lord is like a thousand years of what you count.”
