52.4 The Inhabitants Of Paradise Will See The People In The Highest Place In Paradise As Planets Are Seen In The Sky

٥٢۔٤ باب تَرَائِي أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ أَهْلَ الْغُرَفِ كَمَا يُرَى الْكَوْكَبُ فِي السَّمَاءِ

(1803) bukhari:6555ʿAbdullāh b. Maslamah > ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz from his father > Sahl

The Prophet ﷺ said, "The people of Paradise will see the Ghuraf (special abodes) in Paradise as you see a star in the sky."  

(١٨٠٣) البخاري:٦٥٥٥حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ سَهْلٍ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ أَهْلَ الْجَنَّةِ لَيَتَرَاءَوْنَ الْغُرَفَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ كَمَا تَتَرَاءَوْنَ الْكَوْكَبَ فِي السَّمَاءِ  

(1804) bukhari:3256ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz b. ʿAbdullāh > Mālik b. Anas > Ṣafwān b. Sulaym > ʿAṭāʾ b. Yasār > Abū Saʿīd al-Khudrī

The Prophet ﷺ said, "The people of Paradise will look at the dwellers of the lofty mansions (i.e. a superior place in Paradise) in the same way as one looks at a brilliant star far away in the East or in the West on the horizon; all that is because of their superiority over one another (in rewards)." On that the people said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Are these lofty mansions for the prophets which nobody else can reach? The Prophet ﷺ replied," No! "By Allah in whose Hands my life is, these are for the men who believed in Allah and also believed in the Apostles."  

(١٨٠٤) البخاري:٣٢٥٦حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ

عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ ؓ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ أَهْلَ الْجَنَّةِ يَتَرَاءَيُونَ أَهْلَ الْغُرَفِ مِنْ فَوْقِهِمْ كَمَا يَتَرَاءَيُونَ الْكَوْكَبَ الدُّرِّيَّ الْغَابِرَ فِي الأُفُقِ مِنَ الْمَشْرِقِ أَوِ الْمَغْرِبِ لِتَفَاضُلِ مَا بَيْنَهُمْ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ تِلْكَ مَنَازِلُ الأَنْبِيَاءِ لاَ يَبْلُغُهَا غَيْرُهُمْ قَالَ بَلَى وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ رِجَالٌ آمَنُوا بِاللَّهِ وَصَدَّقُوا الْمُرْسَلِينَ
