Riyad as-Salihin, 488
Usamah bin Zaid (May Allah be pleased with them) reported:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I stood at the gate of Jannah and saw that most of those who enter it were poor, whereas the rich were held back; but those who were destined to go to Hell were ordered to be sent there (immediately)." <b>[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]</b>.
وعن أسامة بن زيد، رضي الله عنهما، عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال:
قمت على باب الجنة، فكان عامة من دخلها المساكين. وأصحاب الجد محبوسون، غير أن أصحاب النار قد أمر بهم إلى النار
((متفق عليه)). و(( الجد:الحظ والغنى. وقد سبق بيان هذا الحديث في باب فضل الضعفة)).
