ahmad:7152Ismāʿīl > Ayyūb > Muḥammad

The (members) of the first group to get into Paradise would have their faces as bright as full moon during the night, and the next to this group would have their faces as bright as the shining stars in the sky, and every person would have two wives and the marrow of their shanks would glimmer beneath the flesh and there would be none without a wife in Paradise. (Using translation from Muslim 2834a)  

أحمد:٧١٥٢حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ

إِمَّا تَفَاخَرُوا وَإِمَّا تَذَاكَرُوا الرِّجَالُ أَكْثَرُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ أَمِ النِّسَاءُ؟ قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ أَوَ لَمْ يَقُلْ أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ ﷺ إِنَّ أَوَّلَ زُمْرَةٍ تَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ عَلَى صُورَةِ الْقَمَرِ لَيْلَةَ الْبَدْرِ وَالَّتِي تَلِيهَا عَلَى أَضْوَإِ كَوْكَبٍ دُرِّيٍّ فِي السَّمَاءِ لِكُلِّ امْرِئٍ مِنْهُمْ زَوْجَتَانِ ثِنْتَانِ يُرَى مُخُّ سَاقِهِمَا مِنْ وَرَاءِ اللَّحْمِ وَمَا فِي الْجَنَّةِ أَعْزَبُ

مسلم:٢٨٣٤aحَدَّثَنِي عَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ وَيَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدَّوْرَقِيُّ جَمِيعًا عَنِ ابْنِ عُلَيَّةَ وَاللَّفْظُ لِيَعْقُوبَ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ أَخْبَرَنَا أَيُّوبُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ

ahmad:7375Sufyān > Ayyūb

[Machine] From Muhammad, the men and women argued about who is more in abundance in Paradise. Abu Huraira said that Abu Al-Qasim ﷺ said, "The first to enter Paradise will be like the full moon on a clear night, then those who follow them will be like the brightest star in the sky. Each man among them will have two wives, and the marrow of their legs will be visible through the flesh. And there will be no celibate in Paradise."  

أحمد:٧٣٧٥حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ

عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ اخْتَصَمَ الرِّجَالُ وَالنِّسَاءُ أَيُّهُمْ فِي الْجَنَّةِ أَكْثَرُ؟ فَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ ﷺ أَوَّلُ مَنْ يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ مِثْلُ الْقَمَرِ لَيْلَةَ الْبَدْرِ ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ عَلَى أَضْوَإِ كَوْكَبٍ دُرِّيٍّ لِكُلِّ رَجُلٍ مِنْهُمْ زَوْجَتَانِ اثْنَتَانِ يُرَى مُخُّ سَاقِهِمَا مِنْ وَرَاءِ اللَّحْمِ وَمَا فِي الْجَنَّةِ أَعْزَبُ

The (members) of the first group to get into Paradise would have their faces as bright as full moon during the night, and the next to this group would have their faces as bright as the shining stars in the sky, and every person would have two wives and the marrow of their shanks would glimmer beneath the flesh and there would be none without a wife in Paradise.

أحمد:١٠٥٩٣حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامٌ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ

كُنَّا عِنْدَهُ فَإِمَّا تَفَاخَرُوا وَإِمَّا تَكاثَرُوا فَقَالُوا الرِّجَالُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ أَكْثَرُ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ فَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ أَوَلَمْ يَقُلْ أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ ﷺ إِنَّ أَوَّلَ زُمْرَةٍ مِنْ أُمَّتِي تَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ وُجُوهُهُمْ عَلَى صُورَةِ الْقَمَرِ لَيْلَةَ الْبَدْرِ وَالزُّمْرَةُ الثَّانِيَةُ عَلَى أَضْوَإِ كَوْكَبٍ دُرِّيٍّ فِي السَّمَاءِ لِكُلِّ رَجُلٍ مِنْهُمْ زَوْجَتَانِ مِنَ الْحُورِ الْعِينِ يُرَى مُخُّ سُوقِهِمَا مِنْ وَرَاءِ الْحُلَلِ وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ مَا فِيهَا مِنْ أَعْزَبَ  

Description of the Group that Will Enter Paradise First on the Day of Resurrection

ذِكْرُ الْإِخْبَارِ عَنْ وَصْفِ صُوَرِ الزُّمْرَةِ الَّتِي تَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ أَوَّلَ النَّاسِ فِي الْقِيَامَةِ

ibnhibban:7420Abū Khalīfah > Ibrāhīm b. Bashhār al-Ramādī > Sufyān > Ayyūb > Muḥammad

[Machine] I heard Muhammad say that the men and women argued about which of them would be more in Paradise. So they went to Abu Hurairah and asked him. He said, "Abu al-Qasim ﷺ said: 'The first group to enter Paradise from my nation will have faces as bright as the full moon at night. Then those who follow them will have faces like the brightest star in the sky. Each man among them will have two wives, the marrow of whose legs can be seen behind the flesh, and there will be no unmarried person in Paradise.'"  

ابن حبّان:٧٤٢٠أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو خَلِيفَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ الرَّمَادِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدًا يَقُولُ اخْتَصَمَ الرِّجَالُ وَالنِّسَاءُ أَيُّهُمْ فِي الْجَنَّةِ أَكْثَرُ فَأَتَوْا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ فَسَأَلُوهُ فَقَالَ قَالَ أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ ﷺ «أَوَّلُ زُمْرَةٍ تَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ مِنَ أُمَّتِي عَلَى صُورَةِ الْقَمَرِ لَيْلَةَ الْبَدْرِ ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ عَلَى أَضْوَأِ كَوْكَبٍ فِي السَّمَاءِ دُرِّيٍّ أَوْ دُرِّيءٍ شَكَّ سُفْيَانُ لِكُلِّ رَجُلٍ مِنْهُمْ زَوْجَتَانِ اثْنَتَانِ يُرَى مُخُّ سُوقِهِنَّ مِنْ وَرَاءِ اللَّحْمِ وَمَا فِي الْجَنَّةِ أَعْزُبُ»
