tirmidhi:2548al-Faḍl b. al-Ṣabbāḥ al-Baghdādī > Maʿn b. ʿĪsá al-Qazzāz > Khālid b. Abū Bakr > Sālim b. ʿAbdullāh from his father

"The breadth of the gate through which my Ummah shall enter Paradise is the distance that a good rider covers in three. (meaning three nights or three years and, and that [the latter] is more obvious) Despite that, they shall be constrained by it until their shoulders are almost crushed completely."  

الترمذي:٢٥٤٨حَدَّثَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ الْبَغْدَادِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْنُ بْنُ عِيسَى الْقَزَّازُ عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَابُ أُمَّتِي الَّذِي يَدْخُلُونَ مِنْهُ الْجَنَّةَ عَرْضُهُ مَسِيرَةُ الرَّاكِبِ الْجَوَادَ ثَلاَثًا ثُمَّ إِنَّهُمْ لَيُضْغَطُونَ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى تَكَادُ مَنَاكِبُهُمْ تَزُولُ  

قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ مُحَمَّدًا عَنْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ فَلَمْ يَعْرِفْهُ وَقَالَ لِخَالِدِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ مَنَاكِيرُ عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ
