Sahih BukhariHadith Number 3010
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا غُنْدَرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " عَجِبَ اللَّهُ مِنْ قَوْمٍ يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ فِي السَّلاَسِلِ ".
Abu Hurairah Narrated from:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Allah wonders at those people who will enter Paradise in chains."
[1] The people referred to here may be the prisoners of war who were captured and chained by the Muslims and their imprisonment was the cause of their conversion to Islām. So, it is as if their chains were the means of winning Paradise.Reference : Sahih al-Bukhari 3010In-book reference : Book 56, Hadith 219USC-MSA web (English) reference : Vol. 4, Book 52, Hadith 254
