The marketplace in Paradise

ahmad:1344Abdullāh > Zuhayr Abū Khaythamah > Abū Muʿāwiyah > ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. Isḥāq > ʿAlī

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "In Paradise there is a marketplace." Then he mentioned the hadith, except that he said: "When a man desires a form, he enters it." He said: "And in it is a gathering of the wide-eyed houris, raising their voices." Then he mentioned something similar.

أحمد:١٣٤٤حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ حَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرٌ أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: «إِنَّ فِي الْجَنَّةِ سُوقًا»، فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ، إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «فَإِذَا اشْتَهَى الرَّجُلُ صُورَةً دَخَلَهَا». قَالَ: «وَفِيهَا مُجْتَمَعُ الْحُورِ الْعِينِ يَرْفَعْنَ أَصْوَاتًا»، فَذَكَرَ مِثْلَهُ.
