“I was with Abu Burdah one night, and
Harith
bin Uqaish entered upon us. Harith told us that night that the
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘Among my nation are some by whose
intercession more (than the members of the tribe of) Mudar will enter
Paradise, and among my nation are some who will be made huge for the
Fire until they fill one of its corners.’”
It was
narrated from Anas bin Malik that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said:
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ الرَّقَاشِيِّ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ
" يُرْسَلُ الْبُكَاءُ عَلَى أَهْلِ النَّارِ فَيَبْكُونَ حَتَّى يَنْقَطِعَ الدُّمُوعُ ثُمَّ يَبْكُونَ الدَّمَ حَتَّى يَصِيرَ فِي وُجُوهِهِمْ كَهَيْئَةِ الأُخْدُودِ لَوْ أُرْسِلَتْ فِيهِ السُّفُنُ لَجَرَتْ " .
“The people of Hell will be made to weep and they will weep
until
they run out of tears. Then they will weep blood until something
like
trenches appear on their faces, and if ships were placed in them
they
would float.”
“O you who believe! Have fear of Allah as is His due, and die
not
except as Muslims. [3:102] (Then he said): ‘If a drop of Zaqqum
were to be dropped on the earth, it would ruin the livelihood of the
people of this world, so how about those who have no food other than
it (i.e. Zaqqum)?’”
‘Death will be brought on the Day of Resurrection and made to
stand
on the Sirat (the Bridge over Hell). It will be said: “O people
of
Paradise!” And they will look. Anxious and afraid lest they be
brought out of the place they are in. Then it will be said: “O
people
of Hell!” and they will look, hoping that they will be
brought out of
the place they are in. Then it will be said: “Do you
know what this
is?” They will say: “Yes, this is Death.” Then
the command will be
given for it to be slaughtered on the Sirat, and
it will be said to
both groups: “It is eternal wherever you are,
and there will never be
any death therein.”
“I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say:
‘Paradise has one hundred grades, each of which is as big as the
distance between heaven and earth. The highest of them is Firdaws and
the best of them is Firdaws. The Throne is above Firdaws and from it
spring forth the rivers of Paradise. If you ask of Allah, ask Him for
Firdaws.’”
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said one day to
his
Companions: ‘Who will strive hard with sincerity for Paradise? For
there is nothing like Paradise. By the Lord of the Ka’bah, it is
sparkling light, sweet basil waving in the breeze, a lofty palace, a
flowing river, abundant ripe fruit, a beautiful wife and many fine
garments, in a palace of eternal abode, in ease and luxury, in
beautiful, strongly-built, lofty houses.’ They said: ‘We will
strive
heard for it, O Messenger of Allah.’ He said: ‘Say: In
sha’ Allah (if
Allah wills).’ Then he mentioned Jihad and
encouraged them to engage
in it.”
“The first group to enter Paradise will enter with (faces) like
the
moon in the night when it is full. Then those who follow them will
be
shining with a light brighter than the brightest star in the sky.
They will not urinate or defecate, or blow their noses or spit. Their
combs will be of gold, their sweat will be musk, their braziers (receptacle for holding live coals for burning incense) will
be pearls and their wives will be houris. Their form will be that of
a
single man, the form of their father Adam, sixty forearm’s length
tall.’”
Another chain reports the same.
“Kauthar is a river in Paradise whose banks are of gold and its
bed
is of rubies and pearls. Its soil is more fragrant than musk, its
water is sweeter than honey and whiter than snow.”
It was
narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عُمَرَ الضَّرِيرُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " إِنَّ فِي الْجَنَّةِ شَجَرَةً يَسِيرُ الرَّاكِبُ فِي ظِلِّهَا مِائَةَ سَنَةٍ لاَ يَقْطَعُهَا " . وَاقْرَءُوا إِنْ شِئْتُمْ {وَظِلٍّ مَمْدُودٍ * وَمَاءٍ مَسْكُوبٍ ) .
“In Paradise there is a tree under whose shade a rider could travel
for one hundred years and never leave it.”
"Recite, if you wish: 'And in shade long-extended (56:30).'"
“I supplicate Allah to bring you and I together in the marketplace
of Paradise,” Sa’eed said: “Is there a marketplace there?” He
said: “Yes. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) told me that when the
people of Paradise enter it, they will take their places according to
their deeds, and they will be given permission for a length of time
equivalent to Friday on earth, when they will visit Allah. His Throne
will be shown to them and He will appear to them in one of the
gardens of Paradise. Chairs of light and chairs of pearls and chairs
of rubies and chairs of chrysolite and chairs of gold and chairs of
silver will be placed for them. Those who are of a lower status than
them, and none of them will be regarded as insignificant, will sit on
sandhills of musk and camphor, and they will not feel that those who
are sitting on chairs are seated better than them.”
Abu Hurairah said: “I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, will we see our Lord?’ He said: ‘Yes. Do you dispute that you see the sun and the moon on the night when it is full?’ We said: ‘No.’ He said: ‘Likewise, you will not dispute that you see your Lord, the Glorified. There will be no one left in that gathering with whom Allah does not speak face to face, until He will say to a man among you: “Do you not remember, O so-and-so, the day you did such and such?” And He will remind him of some of his sins in this world. He will say: “O Lord, have You not forgiven me?” He will say: “Yes, it is by the vastness of My forgiveness that You have reached the position you are in.” While they are like that, a cloud will cover them from above and will rain down on them perfume the like of whose fragrance they have never smelled before. Then He will say: “Get up and go to the honor that has been prepared for you, and take whatever you desire.” So we will go to a marketplace surrounded by the angels, in which there will be such things as eyes have never seen, ears have never heard and it has not entered the heart of man. Whatever we desire will be carried for us. Nothing will be bought or sold therein. In that marketplace the people of Paradise will meet one another. A man of elevated status will meet those who are of lower status than him, but none shall be regarded as insignificant, and he will be dazzled by the clothes that he sees on him. He will not finish the last of his conversation before better clothes appear on him. That is because no one should be sad there.’”
“He said: ‘Then we will go back to our homes where we will be met by our wives, and they will say: ‘Welcome. You have come looking more handsome and with a better fragrance than when you left us.’ And we will say: ‘Today we sat with our Lord, the Compeller, the Glorified, and we deserve to come back as we have come back.’”
“There is no one whom Allah will admit to Paradise but Allah
will
marry him to seventy-two wives, two from houris and seventy from
his
inheritance from the people of Hell, all of whom will have
desirable
front passages and he will have a male member that never
becomes
flaccid (i.e., soft and limp).’”
“I know the last of the people of Hell who will be
brought forth from it, and the last of the people of Paradise to be
admitted to Paradise. (It is) a man who will emerge from Hell
crawling, and it will be said to him: ‘Go and enter Paradise.’ He
will come to it and it will be made to appear to him as if it is
full.’ Allah will say: ‘Go and enter Paradise.’ He will come to
it and it will appear to him as if it is full. So he will say: ‘O
Lord, I found it full.’ Allah will say: ‘Go and enter Paradise.’
He will come to it and it will be made to appear to him as if it is
full. So he will say: ‘O Lord, I found it full.’ Allah will say:
‘Go and enter Paradise, for you will have the like of the world and
ten times more, or you will have ten times the like of the world.’
He will say: ‘Are You mocking me, or are You laughing at me, when
You are the Sovereign?’”
He said: "And I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) smiling so broadly that his molar teeth could be seen."
And he used to say: "This is the lowest of the people of Paradise in status."
It was
narrated from Anas bin Malik that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said:
حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ بُرَيْدِ بْنِ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ
" مَنْ سَأَلَ الْجَنَّةَ ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ قَالَتِ الْجَنَّةُ اللَّهُمَّ أَدْخِلْهُ الْجَنَّةَ وَمَنِ اسْتَجَارَ مِنَ النَّارِ ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ قَالَتِ النَّارُ اللَّهُمَّ أَجِرْهُ مِنَ النَّارِ " .
“Whoever asks for Paradise, three times, Paradise will say: “O
Allah, admit him to Paradise.” And whoever asked to be saved from
Hell, three times, Hell will say: “O Allah, save him from Hell.”
“There is no one among you who does not have two abodes: An
abode
in Paradise and an abode in Hell. If he dies and enters Hell,
the
people of Paradise inherit his abode. This is what Allah says:
‘These
are indeed the inheritors.’” [23:10]
