٥٩۔ كِتَابُ إِخْبَارِهِ ﷺ عَنْ مَنَاقِبِ الصَّحَابَةِ، رِجَالِهُمْ وَنِسَائِهِمْ بِذِكْرِ أَسْمَائِهِمْ رَضْوَانُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمْ أَجْمَعِينَ ص ٢
ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ قَوْلَهُ جَلَّ وَعَلَا: «إِنْ أَعْطَيْتُكَ الدُّنْيَا وَمِثْلَهَا مَعَهَا لَيْسَ بِعَدَدٍ» يُرِيدُ بِهِ النَّفْيَ عَمَّا وَرَاءَهُ
"I know the last of the people of the Fire to depart from it. A man will exit it crawling, and he will say: 'O Lord! The people have taken all the places.'" He said: "So it will be said to him: 'Go to Paradise to enter Paradise.' So he will go to enter, but he will see that the people have taken all the places. He will return and say: 'O Lord! The people have taken all of the places.' So it will be said to him: 'Do you remember the times you used to live in?' And he will say: 'Yes.' So it will be said to him: 'Wish, He will wish for something, and it will be said to him: 'For you is whatever you wished for, and ten times the world.' He will say: 'Do you mock me while you are the King?'" He (Ibn Masud) said: "I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ laugh until his molars were visible." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2595)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنِّي لَأَعْرِفُ آخِرَ أَهْلِ النَّارِ خُرُوجًا مِنَ النَّارِ رَجُلٌ يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا زَحْفًا فَيُقَالُ لَهُ انْطَلِقْ فَادْخُلِ الْجَنَّةَ قَالَ فَيَذْهَبُ فَيَدْخُلُ فَيَجِدُ النَّاسَ قَدِ أَخَذُوا الْمَنَازِلَ قَالَ فَيَرْجِعُ فَيَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ قَدْ أَخَذَ النَّاسُ الْمَنَازِلَ قَالَ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ أَتَذْكُرُ الزَّمَانَ الَّذِي كُنْتَ فِيهِ فِي الدُّنْيَا قَالَ فَيَقُولُ نَعَمْ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ تَمَنَّ فَيَتَمَنَّى فَيُقَالُ لَهُ لَكَ الَّذِي تَمَنَّيْتَ وَعَشَرَةَ أَضْعَافِ الدُّنْيَا قَالَ فَيَقُولُ أَتَسْخَرُ بِي وَأَنْتَ الْمَلِكُ» قَالَ فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ ضَحِكَ حَتَّى بَدَتْ نَوَاجِذُهُ «
ذِكْرُ الْإِخْبَارِ بِأَنَّ مَنْ أُدْخِلَ الْجَنَّةَ بَعْدَ أَنْ عُذِّبَ فِي النَّارِ بِذُنُوبِهِ وَسَمُّوا الْجَهَنَّمِيِّينَ يَدْعُونَ رَبَّهُمْ فَيُذْهِبُ اللَّهُ ذَلِكَ الِاسْمَ عَنْهُمْ
[Machine] Did you hear the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying about this verse: "Perhaps those who disbelieve may wish if they had been Muslims"? He said, "Yes, I heard him saying, 'Allah will bring out some of the believers from the Fire after He has taken their revenge from them.' When Allah will admit the believers into Paradise along with the idolaters, the idolaters will say, 'Didn't we keep you away from us in the worldly life? So what is wrong with you that you are with us in the Fire?' When Allah will hear that from them, He will allow intercession for them, and the angels and the prophets will intercede for them until they will come out by Allah's permission. When they will be out, they will be given a name other than their own and they will be called "the people of Hellfire." They will say, 'Our Lord! Remove the punishment from us; we are not criminals.' Allah will say, 'If I remove the punishment from you, you will be replaced by someone else.' Then they will be washed in a river in Paradise, and that will take away the remnants of their past sins."
أَسَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ فِي هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ {رُبَمَا يَوَدُّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لَوْ كَانُوا مُسْلِمَيْنَ} ؟ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ «يُخْرِجُ اللَّهُ أُنَاسًا مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنَ النَّارِ بَعْدَمَا يَأْخُذُ نِقْمَتَهُ مِنْهُمْ قَالَ لَمَّا أَدْخَلَهُمُ اللَّهُ النَّارَ مَعَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ قَالَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ أَلَيْسَ كُنْتُمْ تَزْعُمُونَ فِي الدُّنْيَا أَنَّكُمْ أَوْلِيَاءُ فَمَا لَكُمْ مَعَنَا فِي النَّارِ فَإِذَا سَمِعَ اللَّهُ ذَلِكَ مِنْهُمْ أَذِنَ فِي الشَّفَاعَةِ فَيَتَشَفَّعُ لَهُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَالنَّبِيُّونَ حَتَّى يَخْرُجُوا بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ فَلَمَّا أُخْرِجُوا قَالُوا يَا لَيْتَنَا كُنَّا مَثَلَهُمْ فَتُدْرِكُنَا الشَّفَاعَةُ فَنُخْرَجُ مِنَ النَّارِ فَذَلِكَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا {رُبَمَا يَوَدُّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لَوْ كَانُوا مُسْلِمَيْنِ} قَالَ فَيُسَمَّوْنَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ الْجَهَنَّمِيِّينَ مِنْ أَجْلِ سَوَادٍ فِي وُجُوهِهِمْ فَيَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَا أَذْهِبْ عَنَّا هَذَا الِاسْمَ قَالَ فَيَأْمُرُهُمْ فَيَغْتَسِلُونَ فِي نَهْرٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ فَيَذْهَبُ ذَلِكَ مِنْهُمْ»
ذِكْرُ الْإِخْبَارِ عَنْ وَصْفِ بَعْضِ مَا يَتَفَضَّلُ اللَّهُ بِنَعِيمِ الْجَنَّةِ عَلَى مَنْ أَخْرَجَ مِنَ النَّارِ بَعْدَ تَعْذِيبِهِ إِيَّاهُ فِيهَا
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There will be a group in the fire as Allah wills, then Allah will have mercy on them and extract them from it, and they will be in the lowest level of paradise in a river called Al-Hawwan. If the people of this world were to host them, they would feed them, give them drink, and entertain them."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «يَكُونُ قَوْمٌ فِي النَّارِ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَكُونُوا ثُمَّ يَرْحَمُهُمُ اللَّهُ فَيُخْرِجُهُمْ مِنْهَا فَيَكُونُونَ فِي أَدْنَى الْجَنَّةِ فِي نَهْرٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ الْحَيَوَانُ لَوِ اسْتَضَافَهُمْ أَهْلُ الدُّنْيَا لَأَطْعَمُوهُمْ وَسَقُوهُمْ وَأَتْحَفُوهُمْ»
ذِكْرُ الْإِخْبَارِ عَنْ هِدَايَةِ مَنْ يَخْرُجُ مِنَ النَّارِ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ بِمَسَاكِنِهِ وَمَنَازِلِهِ فِي الْجَنَّةِ
[Machine] On the authority of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he said, "When the believers are saved from the Fire, they will be stopped at a bridge between Paradise and Hell. They will seek retribution for injustices that occurred between them in the world. When they are cleansed and purified, they will be granted permission to enter Paradise. By the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, no one of them will be left in their dwelling in Paradise without finding and guiding to it their place in the world."
عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِذَا خَلَصَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ مِنَ النَّارِ حُبِسُوا بِقَنْطَرَةٍ بَيْنَ الْجَنَّةِ وَالنَّارِ فَيَقَاصُّونَ مَظَالِمَ كَانَتْ بَيْنَهُمْ فِي الدُّنْيَا حَتَّى إِذَا نُقُّوا وَهُذِّبُوا أُذِنَ لَهُمْ بِدُخُولِ الْجَنَّةِ فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ لَأَحَدُهُمْ بِمَسْكَنِهِ فِي الْجَنَّةِ أَدَلُّ بِمَنْزِلِهِ كَانَ فِي الدُّنْيَا»
ذِكْرُ الْإِخْبَارِ بِأَنَّ أَهْلَ الْجَنَّةِ لَا يَكُونُ لَهُمْ حَالَةُ نَقْصٍ وَتَقَذُّرٍ إِذْ هِيَ دَارُ رِفْعَةٍ وَعَلَاءٍ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The people of Jannah (Paradise) eat and drink, but they do not urinate, defecate, pass wind, or have any impurities. They do not spit or blow their noses. They are inspired to praise and glorify Allah just as they are inspired to breathe. Their food is digestible, and their sweat smells like musk."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَهْلُ الْجَنَّةِ يَأْكُلُونَ وَيَشْرَبُونَ وَلَا يَبُولُونَ وَلَا يَتَغَوَّطُونَ وَلَا يَمْتَخِطُونَ وَلَا يَبْزُقُونَ يُلْهَمُونَ الْحَمْدَ وَالتَّسْبِيحَ كَمَا يُلْهَمُونَ النَّفَسَ طَعَامُهُمْ لَهُ جُشَاءٌ وَرِيحُهُمُ الْمِسْكُ»
ذِكْرُ الْإِخْبَارِ بِأَنَّ فِي الْجَنَّةِ لَا يَكُونُ تَبَاغُضٌ وَلَا اخْتِلَافٌ بَيْنَ أَهْلِهَا فِيمَا فَضَّلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ مِنْ أَنْوَاعِ الْكَرَامَاتِ
These are some of the ahidith which Abu Huraira reported from Messenger of Allah ﷺ and one is this that he is reported to have said: The (members of the) first group that would be admitted to Paradise would have their faces as bright as full moon during the night. They would neither spit nor suffer catarrh, nor void excrement. They would have their utensils and their combs made of gold and silver and the fuel of their braziers would be aloes and their sweat would be musk and every one of them would have two spouses (so beautiful) that the marrow of their shanks would be visible through the flesh. There would be no dissension amongst them and no enmity in their hearts. Their hearts would be like one heart, glorifying Allah morning and evening. (Using translation from Muslim 2834e)
وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَوَّلُ زُمْرَةٍ تَلِجُ الْجَنَّةَ صُوَرُهُمْ عَلَى صُورَةِ الْقَمَرِ لَيْلَةَ الْبَدْرِ لَا يَبْصُقُونَ فِيهَا وَلَا يَمْتَخِطُونَ فِيهَا وَلَا يَتَغَوَّطُونَ فِيهَا آنِيَتُهُمْ وَأَمْشَاطُهُمْ مِنَ الذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ وَمَجَامِرُهُمُ الْأَلُوَّةُ وَلِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ زَوْجَتَانِ يُرَى مُخُّ سُوقِهِمَا مِنْ وَرَاءِ اللَّحْمِ لَا اخْتِلَافَ بَيْنَهُمْ وَلَا تَبَاغُضَ قُلُوبُهُمْ عَلَى قَلْبٍ وَاحِدٍ يُسَبِّحُونَ اللَّهَ بَكْرَةً وَعَشِيًّا»
ذِكْرُ الْإِخْبَارِ عَنْ وَصْفِ الصُّورِ الَّتِي تَكُونُ لِأَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ عِنْدَ دُخُولِهِمْ إِيَّاهَا جَعَلَنَا اللَّهُ مِنْهُمْ بِفَضْلِهِ
“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. (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4333)
عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «أَوَّلُ زُمْرَةٍ تَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ عَلَى صُورَةِ الْقَمَرِ لَيْلَةَ الْبَدْرِ ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ عَلَى صُورَةِ أَشَدِّ كَوْكَبٍ دُرِّيٍّ فِي السَّمَاءِ لَا يَبُولُونَ وَلَا يَتَغَوَّطُونَ وَلَا يَتْفُلُونَ وَلَا يَمْتَخِطُونَ أمْشَاطُهُمُ الذَّهَبُ وَرَشْحُهُمُ الْمِسْكُ وَمَجَامِرُهُمُ الْأَلُوَّةُ وَأَزْوَاجُهُمُ الْحُورُ الْعَيْنُ وَأَخْلَاقُهُمْ عَلَى خُلُقِ رَجُلٍ وَاحِدٍ عَلَى صُورَةِ أَبِيهِمْ سِتُّونَ ذِرَاعًا»
ذِكْرُ الْإِخْبَارِ عَنْ زِيَارَةِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ معَبُّودَهُمْ جَلَّ وَعَلَا
“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.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4336)

ذِكْرُ الْإِخْبَارِ عَنْ وَصْفِ الشَّيْءِ الَّذِي يُعْطَى أَهْلُ الْجَنَّةِ فِي الْجَنَّةِ الَّذِي هُوَ أَفْضَلُ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ وَنَعِيمِهَا
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِذَا أُدْخِلَ أَهْلُ الْجَنَّةِ الْجَنَّةَ قَالَ اللَّهُ أَتَشْتَهُونَ شَيْئًا فَأَزِيدَكُمْ؟ فَيَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَا وَمَا فَوْقَ مَا أَعْطَيْتَنَا؟ قَالَ فَيَقُولُ بَلَى رِضَايَ أَكْثَرُ»

O, Dwellers of Paradise, and they would say in response: At thy service and pleasure, our Lord, the good is in Thy Hand. He (the Lord) would say: Are you well pleased now? They would say: Why should we not be pleased, O Lord, when Thou hast given us what Thou hast not given to any of Thy creatures? He would, however, say: May I not give you (something) even more excellent than that? And they would say: O Lord, what thing can be more excellent than this? And He would say: I shall cause My pleasure to alight upon you and I shall never be afterwards annoyed with you. (Using translation from Muslim 2829)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى يَقُولُ يَا أَهْلَ الْجَنَّةِ فَيَقُولُونَ لَبَّيْكَ رَبَّنَا وَسَعْدَيْكَ وَالْخَيْرُ فِي يَدَيْكِ فَيَقُولُ هَلْ رَضِيتُمْ؟ فَيَقُولُونَ مَا لَنَا لَا نَرْضَى وَقَدْ أَعْطَيْتَنَا مَا لَمْ تُعْطِ أَحَدًا مِنْ خَلْقِكَ فَيَقُولُ أَلَا أُعْطِيكُمْ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَيَقُولُونَ يَا رَبِّ وَأَيُّ شَيْءٍ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ؟ فَيَقُولُ أُحِلُّ عَلَيْكُمْ رِضْوَانِي فَلَا أَسْخَطُ بَعْدَهُ أَبَدًا»

٥٩۔٨۔٥٩ ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ رُؤْيَةَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ رَبَّهَمْ فِي الْمَعَادِ مِنَ الزِّيَادَةِ الَّتِي وَعَدَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ وَعَلَا عِبَادَهُ عَلَى الْحُسْنَى الَّتِي يُعْطِيهِمْ إِيَّاهَا
"The Messenger of Allah recited this Verse: 'For those who have done good is the best reward and even more.' Then he said: 'When the people of Paradise enter Paradise, and the people of the Fire enter the Fire, a caller will cry out: "O people of Paradise! You have a covenant with Allah and He wants to fulfill it." They will say: "What is it?" Has Allah not made the Balance (of our good deeds) heavy, and made our faces bright, and admitted us to Paradise and saved us from Hell?" Then the Veil will be lifted and they will look upon Him, and by Allah, Allah will not give them anything that is more beloved to them or delightful, than looking upon Him.'" (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 187)
تَلَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ {لِلَّذِينَ أَحْسَنُوا الْحُسْنَى وَزِيَادَةٌ} قَالَ «إِذَا دَخَلَ أَهْلُ الْجَنَّةِ الْجَنَّةَ وَأَهْلُ النَّارِ النَّارَ نَادَى مُنَادٍ يَا أَهْلَ الْجَنَّةِ إِنَّ لَكُمْ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ مَوْعِدًا يُحِبُّ أَنْ يُنْجِزَكُمُوهُ فَيَقُولُونَ وَمَا هُوَ؟ أَلَمْ يُثَقِّلِ اللَّهُ مَوَازِينَنَا وَيُبَيَّضْ وُجُوهَنَا وَيُدْخِلْنَا الْجَنَّةَ وَيُجِرْنَا مِنَ النَّارِ؟ قَالَ فَيُكْشَفُ الْحِجَابُ فَيَنْظُرُونَ إِلَيْهِ فَوَاللَّهِ مَا أَعْطَاهُمُ اللَّهُ شَيْئًا أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِمْ مِنَ النَّظَرِ إِلَيْهِ»
When we are were sitting with the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) he looked at the moon on the night when it was full, that is, fourteenth, and said : You will see your Lord as you see this (moon) and have no doubts about seeing him. If, therefore, you can keep from being prevented from prayer before the sun rises and before it sets, do so. He then recited :”Celebrate the praise of your Lord before the rising of the sun and before its setting”. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4729)
كُنَّا جُلُوسًا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَنَظَرَ إِلَى الْقَمَرِ لَيْلَةَ الْبَدْرِ لَيْلَةَ أَرْبَعَ عَشْرَةَ فَقَالَ «إِنَّكُمْ سَتَرَوْنَ رَبَّكُمْ كَمَا تَرَوْنَ هَذَا لَا تُضَامُونَ فِي رُؤْيَتِهِ فَإِنِ اسْتَطَعْتُمْ أَنْ لَا تُغْلَبُوا عَنْ صَلَاةٍ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ وَصَلَاةٍ قَبْلَ غُرُوبِهَا فَافْعَلُوا» ثُمَّ قَرَأَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ {وَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ وَقَبْلَ غُرُوبِهَا}

٥٩۔٨ بَابُ وَصْفِ الْجَنَّةِ وَأَهْلِهَا
ذِكْرُ الْخَبَرِ الْمُدْحِضِ قَوْلَ مَنْ زَعَمَ أَنَّ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنَ أَبِي خَالِدٍ لَمْ يَسْمَعْ هَذَا الْخَبَرَ مِنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ أَبِي حَازِمٍ
We were with the Prophet ﷺ on a full moon night. He looked at the moon and said, "You will certainly see your Lord as you see this moon, and there will be no trouble in seeing Him. So if you can avoid missing (through sleep, business, etc.) a prayer before the rising of the sun (Fajr) and before its setting (ʿAsr) you must do so. He (the Prophet ﷺ ) then recited the following verse: And celebrate the praises Of Your Lord before The rising of the sun And before (its) setting." (50.39) (Using translation from Bukhārī 573)
لِي جَرِيرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ كُنَّا جُلُوسًا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذْ نَظَرَ إِلَى الْقَمَرِ لَيْلَةَ الْبَدْرِ فَقَالَ «أَمَا إِنَّكُمْ سَتَرَوْنَ رَبَّكُمْ كَمَا تَرَوْنَ هَذَا لَا تُضَامُونَ فِي رُؤْيَتِهِ فَإِنِ اسْتَطَعْتُمْ أَنْ لَا تُغْلَبُوا عَلَى صَلَاةٍ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ وَقَبْلَ غُرُوبِهَا فَافْعَلُوا» ثُمَّ قَرَأَ {وَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ وَقَبْلَ غُرُوبِهَا}
ذِكْرُ الْخَبَرِ الْمُدْحِضِ قَوْلَ مَنْ زَعَمَ أَنَّ هَذَا الْخَبَرَ تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أَبِي خَالِدٍ
Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out to us on the night of the full moon and said, "You will see your Lord on the Day of Resurrection as you see this (full moon) and you will have no difficulty in seeing Him." (Using translation from Bukhārī 7436)
خَرَجَ إِلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَيْلَةَ الْبَدْرِ فَقَالَ «إِنَّكُمْ سَتَرَوْنَ رَبُّكُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ كَمَا تَرَوْنَ هَذَا لَا تُضَامُونَ فِي رُؤْيَتِهِ»
ذِكْرُ الْخَبَرِ الْمُدْحِضِ قَوْلَ مَنْ زَعَمَ أَنَّ رُؤْيَةَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ رَبَّهُمْ فِي الْمَعَادِ إِنَّمَا هِيَ بِقُلُوبِهِمْ دُونَ أَبْصَارِهِمْ
[Machine] "People, O Messenger of Allah, will we see our Lord on the Day of Resurrection?" He said, "Do you have any difficulty in seeing the sun on a clear summer day, when the sky is clear without any clouds?" They said, "No." He said, "In the same way, you will not have any difficulty in seeing your Lord on the Day of Resurrection, just as you have no difficulty in seeing one of them who meets his Lord on the Day of Resurrection. Then Allah, the Most Exalted and Glorious, will say, 'O servant! Did I not create you? Did I not make you able to hear and see? Did I not give you wealth and marry you? Did I not honor you? Did I not give you dominion over horses and camels? Did I not make you the leader and ruler?' The servant will respond, 'Yes, my Lord.' Then Allah will say, 'Then did you not think that you would meet Me?' The servant will say, 'Yes, my Lord. But I thought that you would not recognize me.' Allah will say, 'Today I will forget you just as you forgot Me.' Then the next person will come and Allah will say the same to him. The hypocrite will seek to excuse himself, but he will be seized and sealed. It will be said to his thigh, 'Speak!' and it will speak about his deeds and his bones and nerves will bear witness to what he used to do. Then a caller will call out, 'Will every nation follow what they used to worship?' And the worshipers of the cross will follow the cross, the worshipers of the fire will follow the fire, and the worshipers of idols will follow the idols, and every tyrant will follow their tyranny, until they are all led to Hell. Then the believers, while we are the believers, will come to our Lord, the Blessed and Exalted, and we will be standing. He will say, 'What are these people standing for?' We will say, 'We are the believing servants of Allah. We believed in Him and did not associate anything with Him. This is our place and we will not move from here until our Lord comes to us as our Lord and keeps us firm.' He will say, 'Do you know Him?' We will say, 'Glory be to Him! When He acknowledges us, we will acknowledge Him.' Sufyan (one of the narrators) said, 'Here is a word that I do not say to you.' He (Abu Bakr, who was beside the Prophet ﷺ ) said, 'That (person) is a slave whom no one protects. He knocks at a door, but it is not opened for him, and he enters from the other door.' The Prophet ﷺ wiped his shoulders and said, 'I hope that you will be among them (i.e., the believers).' "

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The descendants of the believers will be ensured by Ibrahim in Paradise."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «ذَرَارِيُّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَكْفُلُهُمْ إِبْرَاهِيمُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ»
ذِكْرُ الْإِخْبَارِ بِإِنْشَاءِ اللَّهِ مَنْ أَرَادَ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ مِنْ حَيْثُ يُرِيدُ دُونَ أَوْلَادِ آدَمَ لِيُسْكِنَهُمُ الْجِنَانَ فِي الْعُقْبَى
The Hell and the Paradise fell into dispute and the Hell said: I have been dis- tinguished by the proud and the haughty. And the Paradise said: What is the matter with me that the meek and the humble amongst people and the downtrodden and the simple enter me? Thereupon Allah said to the Paradise: You are (the means) of My Mercy whereby I show mercy to those of My servants whom 1 wish, and He said to the Hell: You are (the means) of punishment whereby 1 punish those of My servants whoml wish. Both of you will be full. The Hell will riot be filled up until Allah puts down His foot in it. The Hell would say: Enough, enough, enough, and at that time it will be filled up, all its parts integrated together. (Using translation from Muslim 2846b)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «تَحَاجَّتِ الْجَنَّةُ وَالنَّارُ فَقَالَتِ النَّارُ أُوثِرْتُ بِالْمُتَكَبِّرِينَ وَالْمُتَجَبِّرِينَ وَقَالَتِ الْجَنَّةُ لَا يَدْخُلُنِي إِلَّا ضُعَفَاءُ النَّاسِ وَسَقَطُهُمْ فَقَالَ اللَّهُ لِلْجَنَّةِ أَنْتِ رَحْمَتِي أَرْحَمُ بِكِ مَنْ أَشَاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِي وَقَالَ لِلنَّارِ أَنْتِ عَذَابِي أُعَذِّبُ بِكِ مَنْ أَشَاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِي وَلِكُلِّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْكُمَا مِلْؤُهَا فَأَمَّا النَّارُ فَلَا تَمْتَلِئُ حَتَّى يَضَعَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ وَعَلَا قَدَمَهُ فِيهَا فَتَقُولُ قَطْ قَطْ فَهُنَاكَ تَمْتَلِئُ وَيَنْزَوِي بَعْضُهَا إِلَى بَعْضٍ وَلَا يَظْلِمُ اللَّهُ أَحَدًا وَأَمَّا الْجَنَّةُ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ جَلَّ وَعَلَا يُنْشِئُ لَهَا خَلْقًا»
ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ إِنْشَاءَ اللَّهِ الْخَلْقَ الَّذِي وَصَفْنَا، إِنَّمَا يُنْشِئُهُمْ لِيُسْكِنَهُمْ مَوَاضِعَ مَنِ الْجَنَّةِ بَقِيَتْ فَضْلًا عَنْ أَوْلَادِ آدَمَ
There would be left some space in Paradise as Allah would like that to be left. Then Allah would create another creation as He would like. (Using translation from Muslim 2848d)
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «يَبْقَى مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَبْقَى فَيُنْشِئُ اللَّهُ لَهَا خَلْقًا مَا يَشَاءُ»
ذِكْرُ الْإِخْبَارِ بِأَنَّ أَهْلَ الْجَنَّةِ يُخَلَّدُونَ فِيهَا إِذِ الْمَوْتُ غَيْرُ مَوْجُودٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ
عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِذَا دَخَلَ أَهْلُ الْجَنَّةِ الْجَنَّةَ وَأَهْلُ النَّارِ النَّارَ نَادَى مُنَادٍ يَا أَهْلَ الْجَنَّةِ خُلُودٌ وَلَا مَوْتَ فِيهِ وَيَا أَهْلَ النَّارِ خُلُودٌ لَا مَوْتَ فِيهِ»
ذِكْرُ الْإِخْبَارِ عَنِ الْوَقْتِ الَّذِي فِيهِ يُنَادِي الْمُنَادِي بِمَا وَصَفْنَا مِنَ الْخُلُودِ لِأَهْلِ الدَّارَيْنِ مَعًا فِيهِمَا
‘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.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4327)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يُؤْتَى بِالْمَوْتِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَيُوقَفُ عَلَى الصِّرَاطِ فَيُقَالُ يَا أَهْلَ الْجَنَّةِ فَيَنْطَلِقُونَ خَائِفِينَ وَجِلِينَ أَنْ يَخْرُجُوا مِنْ مَكَانِهِمُ الَّذِي هُمْ فِيهِ ثُمَّ يُقَالُ يَا أَهْلَ النَّارِ فَيَنْطَلِقُونَ فَرِحِينَ مُسْتَبْشِرِينَ أَنْ يَخْرُجُوا مِنْ مَكَانِهِمُ الَّذِي هُمْ فِيهِ فَيُقَالُ هَلْ تَعْرِفُونَ هَذَا؟ فَيَقُولُونَ نَعَمْ رَبَّنَا هَذَا الْمَوْتُ فَيَأْمُرُ بِهِ فَيُذْبَحُ عَلَى الصِّرَاطِ ثُمَّ يُقَالُ لِلْفَرِيقَيْنِ كِلَاهُمَا خُلُودٌ وَلَا مَوْتَ فِيهِ أَبَدًا»
ذِكْرُ رُؤْيَةِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ مَقَاعِدَهُمْ مِنَ النَّارِ فِي الْجَنَّةِ
The Prophet ﷺ said, "None will enter Paradise but will be shown the place he would have occupied in the (Hell) Fire if he had rejected faith, so that he may be more thankful; and none will enter the (Hell) Fire but will be shown the place he would have occupied in Paradise if he had faith, so that may be a cause of sorrow for him." (Using translation from Bukhārī 6569)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا أُرِيَ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ لَوْ أَسَاءَ لِيَزْدَادَ شُكْرًا وَلَا يَدْخُلُ النَّارَ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا أُرِيَ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ لَوْ أَحْسَنَ لِيَكُونَ عَلَيْهِ حَسْرَةً»
ذِكْرُ الْإِخْبَارِ عَنْ وَصْفِ مَنْ يَتَمَنَّى الْخُرُوجَ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ مِنْ أَهْلِهَا
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ أَحَدٌ يَسُرُّهُ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ إِلَى الدُّنْيَا وَلَهُ عَشَرَةُ أَمْثَالِهَا إِلَّا الشَّهِيدُ فَإِنَّهُ وَدَّ أَنَّهُ رَجَعَ إِلَى الدُّنْيَا فَيُقْتَلُ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ لِمَا يَرَى مِنَ الْفَضْلِ»
ذِكْرُ وَصْفِ ثَلَاثَةً يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "The people of Paradise are three: a just ruler, a fortunate and righteous man who is kind and gentle to his relatives and Muslims, and a poor, modest man who continuously gives in charity."
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «أَهْلُ الْجَنَّةِ ثَلَاثَةٌ ذُو سُلْطَانٍ مُقْسِطٌ مُوَفَّقٌ وَرَجُلٌ رَحِيمٌ رَقِيقُ الْقَلْبِ بِكُلِّ ذِي قُرْبَى وَمُسْلِمٍ وَرَجُلٌ فَقِيرٌ عَفِيفٌ مُتَصَدِّقٌ»
ذِكْرُ الْإِخْبَارِ بِأَنَّ اللَّهَ جَلَّ وَعَلَا جَعَلَ سُكَّانَ الْجَنَّةِ الْمَسَاكِينَ وَالْمُقِلِّينَ عَلَى أَغْلَبِ الْأَحْوَالِ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Paradise and Hellfire disputed among themselves. Hellfire said, 'I shall be inhabited by the arrogant, tyrannical, and the nobles.' Paradise said, 'I shall be inhabited by the poor and the needy.' Allah (Glory be to Him) said to Hellfire, 'You are My punishment, and I shall fill you with whoever I will.' And He said to Paradise, 'You are My mercy, and you are spacious enough to accommodate everything. Each one of you will be filled.'"
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «افْتَخَرَتِ الْجَنَّةُ وَالنَّارُ فَقَالَتِ النَّارُ يَدْخُلُنِي الْجَبَّارُونَ وَالْمُلُوكُ وَالْأَشْرَافُ وَقَالَتِ الْجَنَّةُ يَدْخُلُنِي الْفُقَرَاءُ وَالْمَسَاكِينُ فَقَالَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ وَعَلَا لِلنَّارِ أَنْتِ عَذَابِي أُصِيبُ بِكِ مَنْ أَشَاءُ وَقَالَ لِلْجَنَّةِ أَنْتِ رَحْمَتِي وَسِعْتِ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ وَلِكُلِّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْكُمَا مِلْؤُهَا»
ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ الْفُقَرَاءَ يَكُونُونَ أَكْثَرَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ
"I looked into Paradise and I saw that the most of its people were the poor; and I looked into the Fire and I saw that most of its people were women." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2602)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «اطَّلَعْتُ فِي النَّارِ فَرَأَيْتُ أَكْثَرَ أَهْلِهَا النِّسَاءُ وَاطَّلَعْتُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ فَرَأَيْتُ أَكْثَرَ أَهْلِهَا الْفُقَرَاءُ»
ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ أَكْثَرَ مَا رَأَى ﷺ فِي الْجَنَّةِ الْمَسَاكِينُ، وَفِي النَّارِ النِّسَاءُ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I looked at Paradise and found that most of its inhabitants are the poor. And I looked at Hellfire and found that most of its inhabitants are women. And I found that the people of intelligence are imprisoned, and that the disbelievers have been commanded to go to Hellfire."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «نَظَرْتُ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ فَإِذَا أَكْثَرُ أَهْلِهَا الْمَسَاكِينُ وَنَظَرْتُ فِي النَّارِ فَإِذَا أَكْثَرُ أَهْلِهَا النِّسَاءُ وَإِذَا أَهْلُ الْجَدِّ مَحْبُوسُونَ وَإِذَا الْكُفَّارُ قَدْ أُمِرَ بِهِمْ إِلَى النَّارِ»
ذِكْرُ الْإِخْبَارِ بِأَنَّ النِّسَاءَ يَكُنَّ مِنْ أَقَلِّ سُكَّانِ الْجِنَّانِ فِي الْعُقْبَى
Amongst the inmates of Paradise the women would form a minority. (Using translation from Muslim 2738a)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ أَقَلَّ سَاكِنِي الْجَنَّةِ النِّسَاءُ»
ذِكْرُ الْإِخْبَارِ بِتَحْرِيمِ اللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا الْجَنَّةَ، عَلَى الْأَنْفُسِ الَّتِي لَمْ تُسْلِمْ فِي دَارِ الدُّنْيَا
[Machine] I heard Ibn Mas'ood saying, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ delivered a sermon, leaning his back on a dome made of adobe, and then he said, 'Would you be satisfied with being one-fourth of the people of Paradise?'" We replied, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "By the One in whose Hand is my soul, I hope that you will be half of the people of Paradise. Verily, no one enters Paradise except every Muslim soul, and the example of the Muslims on the Day of Resurrection is like a black hair on a white ox or a white hair on a black ox."
سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ يَقُولُ خَطَبَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَسْنَدَ ظَهْرَهُ إِلَى قُبَّةٍ مِنْ أَدَمٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَمَّا بَعْدُ أَتَرْضَوْنَ أَنْ تَكُونُوا رُبْعَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ؟ » قُلْنَا نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ «وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ إِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ تَكُونُوا نِصْفَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ وَإِنَّهُ لَا يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ إِلَّا كُلُّ نَفْسٍ مُسْلِمَةٍ وَإِنَّ مَثَلَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فِي الْكُفَّارِ فِي الْعَدَدِ كَمَثَلِ الشَّعْرَةِ الْبَيْضَاءِ فِي الثَّوْرِ الْأَسْوَدِ أَوِ الشَّعْرَةِ السَّوْدَاءِ فِي الثَّوْرِ الْأَبْيَضِ»
ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ قَوْلَهُ ﷺ «إِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ تَكُونُوا نِصْفَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ» لَيْسَ بِعَدَدٍ أُرِيدَ بِهِ النَّفْيُ عَمَّا وَرَاءَهُ
"The people of Paradise are a hundred and twenty rows, eighty of them are from this nation, and forty are from the rest of the nations." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2546)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَهْلُ الْجَنَّةِ عِشْرُونَ وَمِائَةُ صَفٍّ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةُ مِنْهَا ثَمَانُونَ صَفًّا» *
ذِكْرُ الْخَبَرِ الْمُدْحِضِ قَوْلَ مَنْ زَعَمَ أَنَّ هَذَا الْخَبَرَ تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ مُحَارِبُ بْنُ دِثَارٍ
"The people of Paradise are a hundred and twenty rows, eighty of them are from this nation, and forty are from the rest of the nations." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2546)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَهْلُ الْجَنَّةِ عِشْرُونَ وَمِائَةُ صَفٍّ ثَمَانُونَ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ وَأَرْبَعُونَ مِنْ سَائِرِ الْأُمَمِ»
ذِكْرُ نَفْيِ دُخُولِ الْجَنَّةِ عَنْ أَقْوَامٍ بِأَعْيَانِهِمْ مِنْ أَجْلِ أَعْمَالٍ ارْتَكَبُوهَا
Two are the types of the denizens of Hell whom I did not see: people having flogs like the tails of the ox with them and they would be beating people, and the women who would be dressed but appear to be naked, who would be inclined (to evil) and make their husbands incline towards it. Their heads would be like the humps of the bukht camel inclined to one side. They will not enter Paradise and they would not smell its odour whereas its odour would be smelt from such and such distance. (Using translation from Muslim 2128)
عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «صِنْفَانِ مِنْ أُمَّتِي لَمْ أَرَهُمَا قَوْمٌ مَعَهُمْ سِيَاطٌ مِثْلُ أَذْنَابِ الْبَقَرِ يَضْرِبُونَ بِهَا النَّاسَ وَنِسَاءٌ كَاسِيَاتٌ عَارِيَاتٌ مَائِلَاتٌ مُمِيلَاتٌ رُءُوسُهُنَّ مِثْلُ أَسْنِمَةِ الْبُخْتِ الْمَائِلَةِ لَا يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ وَلَا يَجِدُونَ رِيحَهَا وَإِنَّ رِيحَهَا لَتُوجَدُ مِنْ مَسِيرَةِ كَذَا وَكَذَا»
