[Machine] "A man from the People of the Book said, 'O Abu al-Qasim, it is claimed that the people of Paradise eat and drink.' He (Abu al-Qasim) said, 'Yes, by the One in whose hand is my soul, a person among them will be given the strength of a hundred men in eating, drinking, intercourse, and desire.' He (the man) said, 'So if someone eats, will they feel the need?' He (Abu al-Qasim) said, 'The need of one of them is like the fragrance of musk, so it is concealed within his stomach.'"
رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ يَا أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ تَزْعُمُ أَنَّ أَهْلَ الْجَنَّةِ يَأْكُلُونَ وَيَشْرَبُونَ قَالَ «نَعَمْ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ إِنَّ أَحَدَهُمْ لَيُعْطَى قُوَّةَ مِائَةِ رَجُلٍ فِي الْأَكْلِ وَالشُّرْبِ وَالْجِمَاعِ وَالشَّهْوَةِ» قَالَ فَإِنَّ الَّذِي يَأْكُلُ تَكُونُ لَهُ الْحَاجَةُ قَالَ «حَاجَةُ أَحَدِهِمْ عَرَقٌ كَرِيحِ الْمِسْكِ فَيُضْمِرُ بَطْنَهُ»
