وَعَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَوَّلُ مَنْ يُدْعَى إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ الَّذِينَ يَحْمَدُونَ اللَّهَ فِي السَّرَّاءِ وَالضَّرَّاءِ» . رَوَاهُمَا الْبَيْهَقِيُّ فِي شُعَبِ الْإِيمَان

Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.

Ibn ‘Abbas reported that the Messenger of God (peace be upon him) said: ‘The first people called to Paradise on the Day of Resurrection will be those who praise God in prosperity and adversity.’ Al-Bayhaqi transmitted both reports in Shu‘ab al-Iman. The Arabic source grades it weak (al-Albani).

Notes and open questions — unreviewed
  • The Arabic refers to two reports in the preceding context; this unit itself gives the wording about praising God in ease and hardship.
