The man of paradise who goes to sleep removing all enmity and jealousy from his heart

[Machine] We were sitting with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he said, "A man from the people of Paradise will appear before you now." Then a man from the Ansar appeared, with his beard dripping with water from ablution, and his sandals held in his left hand. When it was the next day, the Prophet ﷺ said something similar, and again that man appeared in the same way as the first time. On the third day, the Prophet ﷺ repeated his statement, and the same man appeared again in the same condition. When the Prophet ﷺ got up, Abdullah bin Amr bin Al-As followed him and said, "I had a dispute with my father and swore not to enter his place for three days. If you could accommodate me until the oath period is over?" The man replied, "Yes."

Anas narrated that Abdullah said he spent those three nights with the man and did not see him getting up for night prayer, except that when he turned in bed, he would remember Allah and chant "Allahu Akbar" until he would get up for the Fajr prayer. Abdullah added, "Yet I did not hear him say anything but good."

When the three nights had passed and I almost looked down upon his deeds, I said, "O Abdullah, there was no quarrel or abandonment between my father and me, but I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say on three occasions that a man from the people of Paradise would appear, and you appeared. So, I wanted to stay with you to see what deeds you perform to follow your example, but I didn't see you doing much. What is it that reached you to what the Prophet ﷺ said?"

He replied, "It is nothing more than what you saw. But when I turned to leave, he called me and said, 'It is just as you saw, except that I do not harbor any deceit in my heart against any Muslim, nor do I envy anyone for the good that Allah has given them.'" Abdullah then said, "This is what has brought you to the rank mentioned by the Prophet, and it is what we cannot endure."

كُنَّا جُلُوسًا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَطْلُعُ عَلَيْكُمُ الْآنَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ فَطَلَعَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ تَنْطِفُ لِحْيَتُهُ مِنْ وُضُوئِهِ قَدْ تَعَلَّقَ نَعْلَيْهِ فِي يَدِهِ الشِّمَالِ فَلَمَّا كَانَ الْغَدُ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ فَطَلَعَ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ مِثْلَ الْمَرَّةِ الْأُولَى فَلَمَّا كَانَ الْيَوْمُ الثَّالِثُ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مِثْلَ مَقَالَتِهِ أَيْضًا فَطَلَعَ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى مِثْلِ حَالِهِ الْأُولَى فَلَمَّا قَامَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ تَبِعَهُ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ فَقَالَ إِنِّي لَاحَيْتُ أَبِي فَأَقْسَمْتُ أَنْ لَا أَدْخُلَ عَلَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا فَإِنْ رَأَيْتَ أَنْ تُؤْوِيَنِي إِلَيْكَ حَتَّى تَمْضِيَ فَعَلْتَ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ أَنَسٌ وَكَانَ عَبْدُ اللهِ يُحَدِّثُ أَنَّهُ بَاتَ مَعَهُ تِلْكَ اللَّيَالِي الثَّلَاثَ فَلَمْ يَرَهُ يَقُومُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ شَيْئًا غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ إِذَا تَعَارَّ وَتَقَلَّبَ عَلَى فِرَاشِهِ ذَكَرَ اللهَ ﷻ وَكَبَّرَ حَتَّى يَقُومَ لِصَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ غَيْرَ أَنِّي لَمْ أَسْمَعْهُ يَقُولُ إِلَّا خَيْرًا

فَلَمَّا مَضَتِ الثَّلَاثُ لَيَالٍ وَكِدْتُ أَنْ أَحْقِرَ عَمَلَهُ قُلْتُ يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ إِنِّي لَمْ يَكُنْ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ أَبِي غَضَبٌ وَلَا هَجْرٌ ثَمَّ وَلَكِنْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَكَ ثَلَاثَ مِرَارٍ يَطْلُعُ عَلَيْكُمُ الْآنَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ فَطَلَعْتَ أَنْتَ الثَّلَاثَ مِرَارٍ فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ آوِيَ إِلَيْكَ لِأَنْظُرَ مَا عَمَلُكَ فَأَقْتَدِيَ بِهِ فَلَمْ أَرَكَ تَعْمَلُ كَثِيرَ عَمَلٍ فَمَا الَّذِي بَلَغَ بِكَ مَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ مَا هُوَ إِلَّا مَا رَأَيْتَ قَالَ فَلَمَّا وَلَّيْتُ دَعَانِي فَقَالَ مَا هُوَ إِلَّا مَا رَأَيْتَ غَيْرَ أَنِّي لَا أَجِدُ فِي نَفْسِي لِأَحَدٍ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ غِشًّا وَلَا أَحْسُدُ أَحَدًا عَلَى خَيْرٍ أَعْطَاهُ اللهُ إِيَّاهُ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ هَذِهِ الَّتِي بَلَغَتْ بِكَ وَهِيَ الَّتِي لَا نُطِيقُ
