Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ حَدَّثَنَا حَيْوَةُ أَخْبَرَنَا سَالِمُ بْنُ غَيْلَانَ أَنَّ الْوَلِيدَ بْنَ قَيْسٍ التُّجِيبِيَّ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ أَوْ عَنْ أَبِي الْهَيْثَمِ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ لَا تَصْحَبْ إِلَّا مُؤْمِنًا وَلَا يَأْكُلْ طَعَامَكَ إِلَّا تَقِيٌّ
English Translation
Abu 'Abd al-Rahman narrated to us, Haywah narrated to us, Salim ibn Ghaylan informed us that al-Walid ibn Qays al-Tujibi informed him that he heard Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (رضي الله عنه) — or from Abu al-Haytham, from Abu Sa'id — that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'The martyrs on the Day of Resurrection will go to the Gate of Paradise and find it locked. They will say: We fought in the cause of Allah until we were killed. Then they will be told: Wait, your reckoning has not been settled. They will say: With what are we to be reckoned? Our souls were taken from our bodies! A caller will then call out to them: You have spoken the truth. So the gates of Paradise will be opened for them, and they will enter it forty years before the rest of the people.'
