[Machine] If a man from the people of Paradise could be seen, then let him look at this. I said, "By Allah, I will definitely follow him and take note of where his house is." He said, "Then I followed him until he almost left the city. Then he entered his house and I sought permission to enter, and he allowed me. He said, "What is your need, O nephew?" I said, "I heard people say that when you stood, it pleased them to look at a man from the people of Paradise, so let them look at this." I was amazed at being with him. He said, "Only Allah knows the people of Paradise, and shall I inform you who says that? While I was sleeping, someone came to me and said, "Get up." Then he took me by the hand and I went with him. Suddenly, I found myself on a white horse on my left. I went to take it, and he said to me, "Take it. It is the mount of the people of the left." Then I found a horse on my right, and he said to me, "Take it. It is the mount of the people of the right." We came to a mountain, and he said, "Climb up."

He said, 'As for the paths that you saw on your left and right, they are the paths of the people of the left and right. As for the mountain, it is the abode of the martyrs, and you will not attain it. As for the pillar, it is the pillar of Islam, and as for the rope, it is the rope of Islam, and it will continue to cling to it until you die.' Then he said to me, 'Do you know how Allah created creation?' I said, 'No.' He said, 'Allah created Adam. Then He said to him, 'Tell,' and Adam told. Then He said to him, 'Tell these.' And he told them. And his allotted life span and his deeds and his provision were determined. And he said, 'Then it is blown into him the soul..."
