2548. Sālim bin ‘Abdullāh narrated from his father that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “The breadth of the gate through which my Ummah shall enter Paradise is the distance that a good rider covers in three.”[2] Despite that,
they shall be constrained by it until their shoulders are almost crushed completely.[1] (Da'if)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Gharīb.
[He said:] I asked Muḥammad about this Hadīth, but he did not know it. He said: "Khālid bin Abī Bakr reported Munkar narrations from Sālim bin 'Abdullāh."

Commentary
Crowding of the people in a mood of celebration and joy shall not give them the feeling of distress and pain. This is about the narrowest of the gates. Some other gates will be much wider. Some other narrations speak of the distance that would be covered in forty days. (Tuhfat Al-Ahwadhī, v.3, p.33).
