[Machine] I was with the Prophet ﷺ at the trench, and he took a pickaxe and started digging with it. He hit a stone and laughed. It was asked, "What makes you laugh, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "I laughed at some people who will be brought from the East to be pushed into Paradise."  

أحمد:٢٢٨٦١ – حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ حَدَّثَنَا الْفُضَيْلِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سُلَيْمَانَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي يَحْيَى عَنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ السَّاعِدِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ

كُنْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بَالْخَنْدَقِ فَأَخَذَ الْكِرْزِينَ فَحَفَرَ بِهِ فَصَادَفَ حَجَرًا فَضَحِكَ قِيلَ مَا يُضْحِكُكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَ ضَحِكْتُ مِنْ نَاسٍ يُؤْتَى بِهِمْ مِنْ قِبَلِ الْمَشْرِقِ فِي النُّكُولِ يُسَاقُونَ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ

[Machine] I was with the Prophet ﷺ in the trench, and he took a branch and dug with it. He happened to come across a stone and laughed. It was asked, "What makes you laugh, O Messenger of Allah?" He replied, "I laughed at people who come to you from the east bringing them to Paradise while they themselves dislike it."
