حَدَّثَنَا کَثِيرُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ الْحِمْصِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَجِيدِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ قَالَ خَرَجْتُ مَعَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ إِلَی الْجُمُعَةِ فَوَجَدَ ثَلَاثَةً وَقَدْ سَبَقُوهُ فَقَالَ رَابِعُ أَرْبَعَةٍ وَمَا رَابِعُ أَرْبَعَةٍ بِبَعِيدٍ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ النَّاسَ يَجْلِسُونَ مِنْ اللَّهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ عَلَی قَدْرِ رَوَاحِهِمْ إِلَی الْجُمُعَاتِ الْأَوَّلَ وَالثَّانِيَ وَالثَّالِثَ ثُمَّ قَالَ رَابِعُ أَرْبَعَةٍ وَمَا رَابِعُ أَرْبَعَةٍ بِبَعِيدٍ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 1094
It was narrated that 'Alqamah said: "I went out with 'Abdullah to Friday (prayer), and he found three men who arrived before him. He said: 'The fourth of four, and the fourth of four is not far a way. I heard the Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H say: "On the Day of Resurrection people will gather near Allah according to how early they came to Friday (prayer), the first, second, and third:" Then he said: 'The fourth of four, and the fourth of four is not far away.'" (Da'if)
