[Machine] I was in a circle of the Ansar. Some of us would cover themselves with a part of their clothing, and we had a reader who would recite the Book of Allah to us. While we were listening to the Quran, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came and sat among us to count himself as one of us. The reader stopped and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked, "What were you saying?" We said, "O Messenger of Allah, we had a reader who would recite the Book of Allah to us." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ , raising his hand and gesturing with it towards himself, said, "By the One in whose Hand is my soul, he made them turn away from themselves to him and said, 'shave your heads'. The circle of people turned and I did not see anyone other than myself whom the Messenger of Allah recognized." So he said, "Rejoice, O people of the Sa'laik, you will enter Paradise half a day before the rich, and that is five hundred years."
كُنْتُ فِي حَلْقَةٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ إِنَّ بَعْضَنَا لَيَسْتَتِرُ بِبَعْضٍ مِنَ الْعُرْيِ وَقَارِئٌ لَنَا يَقْرَأُ عَلَيْنَا فَنَحْنُ نَسْمَعُ إِلَى كِتَابِ اللهِ إِذْ وَقَفَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَقَعَدَ فِينَا لِيَعُدَّ نَفْسَهُ مَعَهُمْ فَكَفَّ الْقَارِئُ فَقَالَ مَا كُنْتُمْ تَقُولُونَ؟ فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ كَانَ قَارِئٌ لَنَا يَقْرَأُ عَلَيْنَا كِتَابَ اللهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِيَدِهِ وَحَلَّقَ بِهَا يُومِئُ إِلَيْهِمْ أَنْ تَحَلَّقُوا فَاسْتَدَارَتِ الْحَلْقَةُ فَمَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَرَفَ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدًا غَيْرِي قَالَ فَقَالَ أَبْشِرُوا يَا مَعْشَرَ الصَّعَالِيكِ تَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ قَبْلَ الْأَغْنِيَاءِ بِنِصْفِ يَوْمٍ وَذَلِكَ خَمْسُ مِائَةِ عَامٍ
