'Iyad bin Himar (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "The people of Jannah will be of three kinds: A just successful ruler, a man who shows mercy to his relatives, and a pious believer who has a large family and refrains from begging." <b>[Muslim]</b>.
وعن عياض بن حمار رضي الله عنه قال: سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول: “أهل الجنة ثلاثة: ذو سلطان مقسط موفق، ورجل رحيم رفيق القلب لكل ذي قربى ومسلم، وعفيف متعفف ذو عيال”. ((رواه مسلم)).
