Pearl of Wisdom

'On the Day of Resurrection a group of people will rise; they will come to the gate of Paradise and they will knock at the gate of Paradise. Then they will be asked, 'Who are you?' And they will answer, 'We are the poor.' They will then be asked, '[Have you come] before the Reckoning?!' And they will answer, 'You did not give us anything to hold us accountable for!' Allah, Mighty and Exalted will then say, 'They speak the truth. Enter Paradise!'

Imam Ja'far ibn Muhammad al-Sadiq [as]
Ibid. p. 264, no. 19
