Summary
The hadith stating that Prophet Sulayman AS and ʻAbd al-Raḥmān bin ʻAuf enter Paradise last is rejected. The Quran affirms that Prophet Sulayman holds a near and honoured station with Allah, and the narration about ʻAbd al-Raḥmān bin ʻAuf comes through a weak narrator. Wealth as a reason is also illogical since many other companions were rich, and he was one of the ten companions promised Paradise.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Hadith yang menyebutkan tentang Nabi Sulayman dan ʻAbd al-Raḥmān bin ʻAuf masuk syurga lewat berbanding nabi-nabi dan para sahabat yang lain adalah tertolak.
