When those deserving of Paradise would enter Paradise, the Blessed and the Exalted would ask: Do you wish Me to give you anything more? They would say: Hast Thou not brightened our faces? Hast Thou not made us enter Paradise and saved us from Fire? He (the narrator) said: He (God) would lift the veil, and of things given to them nothing would he dearer to them than the sight of their Lord, the Mighty and the Glorious.  

مسلم:١٨١aحَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ الْبُنَانِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى عَنْ صُهَيْبٍ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا دَخَلَ أَهْلُ الْجَنَّةِ الْجَنَّةَ قَالَ يَقُولُ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى تُرِيدُونَ شَيْئًا أَزِيدُكُمْ فَيَقُولُونَ أَلَمْ تُبَيِّضْ وُجُوهَنَا أَلَمْ تُدْخِلْنَا الْجَنَّةَ وَتُنَجِّنَا مِنَ النَّارِ قَالَ فَيَكْشِفُ الْحِجَابَ فَمَا أُعْطُوا شَيْئًا أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِمْ مِنَ النَّظَرِ إِلَى رَبِّهِمْ ﷻ

For those who do good is the best (reward) and even more- the Prophet ﷺ said: "When the people of Paradise enter Paradise, a caller shall call out: 'Indeed you have a promise with Allah.' They will say: 'Did he not whiten our faces, save us from the Fire, and admit us into Paradise?' They will say: 'Indeed.' Then the Veil shall be lifted." He said: "So, by Allah, He did not grant them anything more beloved to them than looking at Him."

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: When the people of Paradise enter Paradise, they will be called: O people of Paradise, indeed you have an appointment with Allah, a appointment that you have not seen, so they will say: And what is it? Have our faces not been whitened, and have we not been saved from the Fire, and have we not been admitted to Paradise? He ﷺ said: Then the veil will be removed, and they will look at Him, and by Allah, Allah will not give them anything that is more beloved to them than looking at Him. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited the verse: "For those who have done good is the best and extra." [Surah Yunus, 10:26]

"إِذا دَخَلَ أهْلُ الجنَّةِ الجنة يقولُ اللهُ تباركَ وتعالى: تريدون شيئًا أزيدُكُمْ؟ فيقولون: ألمْ تُبَيِّض وجُوهَنا؟ ألمْ تُدْخلنا الجنَّةَ وتنجِنا مِنَ النَّارِ؟ فيَكْشِفُ الحجابَ، فما أعْطُوا شيئًا أحبَّ إِليهم مِن النَّظرِ إلى ربِّهم".
