Combining the hadith that the poor will enter Paradise before the rich with the verses

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: How do we reconcile the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
The poor believers will enter Paradiseيدخل فقراء المؤمنين الجنة قبل الأغنياء
Sunan Ibn Majah 4122Hasan (Darussalam)
by five hundred years, meaning half a day, with the saying of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He: “And the forerunners [in good] are the forerunners”

Answer:
Yes, there is no contradiction between them. The verses indicate that those who possess wealth are held accountable for their wealth, and it is this accountability that delays them. Allah holds them accountable for their wealth, so if it is abundant, the reckoning takes a long time. As for the believer who has no wealth, he is not held accountable for anything regarding his wealth because he has nothing to be held accountable for. He enters Paradise without any obstacle. Yes.
