Sahih Muslim Book - 53, Hadith - 7463

قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ وَجَاءَ ثَلاَثَةُ نَفَرٍ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ وَأَنَا عِنْدَهُ فَقَالُوا يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ إِنَّا وَاللَّهِ مَا نَقْدِرُ عَلَى شَىْءٍ لاَ نَفَقَةٍ وَلاَ دَابَّةٍ وَلاَ مَتَاعٍ. فَقَالَ لَهُمْ مَا شِئْتُمْ إِنْ شِئْتُمْ رَجَعْتُمْ إِلَيْنَا فَأَعْطَيْنَاكُمْ مَا يَسَّرَ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ وَإِنْ شِئْتُمْ ذَكَرْنَا أَمْرَكُمْ لِلسُّلْطَانِ وَإِنْ شِئْتُمْ صَبَرْتُمْ فَإِنِّى سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- يَقُولُ « إِنَّ فُقَرَاءَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ يَسْبِقُونَ الأَغْنِيَاءَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ بِأَرْبَعِينَ خَرِيفًا ». قَالُوا فَإِنَّا نَصْبِرُ لاَ نَسْأَلُ شَيْئًا.

Abu 'Abdur-Rahman said: "Three people came to 'Abdullah bin 'Amr bin Al-'As then I was with him, and they said: 'O Abu Muhammad, by Allah we do not have anything, no provisions, no riding beasts and no wealth.' He said to them: 'Whatever you wish. If you wish, you can come back to us and we will give you whatever Allah makes available for you, or if you wish we can refer your matter to the ruler, or if you wish you can be patient, for I heard the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) say: "On the Day of Resurrection, the poor of the Muhajirin will precede the rich into Paradise by forty years.'" They said: 'We will be patient and will not ask for anything.'"
