Question:
The hadith?
Answer:
This indicates that it is not necessary for them to be the first to enter it, even if they entered it without reckoning, but it is not required that they be the quickest of people to it; others may precede them, such as the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) in relation to those who came after them. For this reason, he said: meaning the Companions and those of their wives and descendants who were righteous.
Q: Does this indicate the preference of the Companions over the seventy thousand?
The Shaykh: Over those below them.

For this reason, he said:
I hope that they will not enter it until you have taken up your dwellings in Paradise.
