Description of a very large tree in Jannah

muslim:2827Isḥāq b. Ibrāhīm al-Ḥanẓalī > al-Makhzūmī > Wuhayb > Abū Ḥāzim > Sahl b. Saʿd

from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, who said: “Indeed, in Jannah there is a tree under whose shade a rider will travel for one hundred years and not traverse it.”

Abu Hazim said: I related it to al-Nuʿman b. Abū ʿAyyash al-Zuraqī, and he said: Abu Saʿīd al-Khudri related to me from the Prophet ﷺ, who said: “Indeed, in Jannah there is a tree under whose shade a rider on a well-trained, swift horse will travel for one hundred years and not traverse it.”

مسلم:٢٨٢٧حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْحَنْظَلِيُّ أَخْبَرَنَا الْمَخْزُومِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ: «إِنَّ فِي الْجَنَّةِ لَشَجَرَةً يَسِيرُ الرَّاكِبُ فِي ظِلِّهَا مِائَةَ عَامٍ لاَ يَقْطَعُهَا»، 

قَالَ أَبُو حَازِمٍ فَحَدَّثْتُ بِهِ النُّعْمَانَ بْنَ أَبِي عَيَّاشٍ الزُّرَقِيَّ فَقَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيُّ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ: «إِنَّ فِي الْجَنَّةِ شَجَرَةً يَسِيرُ الرَّاكِبُ الْجَوَادَ الْمُضَمَّرَ السَّرِيعَ مِائَةَ عَامٍ مَا يَقْطَعُهَا».
