Hadith 5

(The book) ‘Al Kafi’ – from Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Yunus, from Ibn Sinan, from Al A’ala, from Ibn Abu Yafour, ‘From Abu Abdullah-asws: ‘Poor ones of the Momineen will be turning in the Gardens of Paradise before their rich ones by forty ‘Khareyf’’. [4]
Then he-asws said: ‘I-asws shall strike for you an example of that. But rather, an example of that is an example of two ships a tax collector passes by them. He looks into one of them but does not see anything in it. He said, ‘Make a leak in it! ’ And he looks into the other, and it is fully laden. He says, ‘Withhold it! ’’
Explanation – And it is reported in ‘Ma’any Al-Akhbar’ by his chain, from Abu Ja’far-asws having said: ‘A servant will remain in the Fire for seventy ‘Khareyfs’, and the ‘Khareyf’ is of seventy years’ – up to the end of the Hadeeth. And the author of ‘Al-Ma’lam’ interpreted it as being more than that. And in one of the reports, it is of a thousand years, and the year is of a thousand years.
