The Prophet ﷺ said, "I know the person who will be the last to come out of the (Hell) Fire, and the last to enter Paradise. He will be a man who will come out of the (Hell) Fire crawling, and Allah will say to him, 'Go and enter Paradise.' He will go to it, but he will imagine that it had been filled, and then he will return and say, 'O Lord, I have found it full.' Allah will say, 'Go and enter Paradise, and you will have what equals the world and ten times as much (or, you will have as much as ten times the like of the world).' On that, the man will say, 'Do you mock at me (or laugh at me) though You are the King?" I saw Messenger of Allah ﷺ (while saying that) smiling that his premolar teeth became visible. It is said that will be the lowest in degree amongst the people of Paradise.  

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِنِّي لأَعْلَمُ آخِرَ أَهْلِ النَّارِ خُرُوجًا مِنْهَا وَآخِرَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ دُخُولاً رَجُلٌ يَخْرُجُ مِنَ النَّارِ كَبْوًا فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ اذْهَبْ فَادْخُلِ الْجَنَّةَ فَيَأْتِيهَا فَيُخَيَّلُ إِلَيْهِ أَنَّهَا مَلأَى فَيَرْجِعُ فَيَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ وَجَدْتُهَا مَلأَى فَيَقُولُ اذْهَبْ فَادْخُلِ الْجَنَّةَ فَيَأْتِيهَا فَيُخَيَّلُ إِلَيْهِ أَنَّهَا مَلأَى فَيَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ وَجَدْتُهَا مَلأَى فَيَقُولُ اذْهَبْ فَادْخُلِ الْجَنَّةَ فَإِنَّ لَكَ مِثْلَ الدُّنْيَا وَعَشَرَةَ أَمْثَالِهَا أَوْ إِنَّ لَكَ مِثْلَ عَشَرَةِ أَمْثَالِ الدُّنْيَا فَيَقُولُ تَسْخَرُ مِنِّي أَوْ تَضْحَكُ مِنِّي وَأَنْتَ الْمَلِكُ فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ ضَحِكَ حَتَّى بَدَتْ نَوَاجِذُهُ وَكَانَ يُقَالُ ذَلِكَ أَدْنَى أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ مَنْزِلَةً  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The person who will be the last one to enter Paradise and the last to come out of Hell (Fire) will be a man who will come out crawling, and his Lord will say to him, 'Enter Paradise.' He will reply, 'O Lord, Paradise is full.' Allah will give him the same order thrice, and each time the man will give Him the same reply, i.e., 'Paradise is full.' Thereupon Allah will say (to him), 'Ten times of the world is for you.' "  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّ آخِرَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ دُخُولاً الْجَنَّةَ وَآخِرَ أَهْلِ النَّارِ خُرُوجًا مِنَ النَّارِ رَجُلٌ يَخْرُجُ حَبْوًا فَيَقُولُ لَهُ رَبُّهُ ادْخُلِ الْجَنَّةَ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّ الْجَنَّةُ مَلأَى فَيَقُولُ لَهُ ذَلِكَ ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ فَكُلُّ ذَلِكَ يُعِيدُ عَلَيْهِ الْجَنَّةُ مَلأَى فَيَقُولُ إِنَّ لَكَ مِثْلَ الدُّنْيَا عَشْرَ مِرَارٍ  

I know the last of the inhabitants of Fire to be taken out therefrom, and the last of the inhabitants of Paradise to enter it. A man will come out of the Fire crawling. Then Allah, the Blessed and Exalted will say to him: Go and enter Paradise. So he would come to it and it would appear to him as if it were full. He would go back and say: O my Lord! I found it full. Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, would say to him: Go and enter Paradise. He would come and perceive as if it were full. He would return and say: O my Lord! I found it full. Allah would say to him: Go and enter Paradise, for there is for you the like of the world and ten times like it, or for you is ten times the like of this world. He (the narrator) said. He (that man) would say: Art Thou making a fun of me? or Art Thou laughing at me. though Thou art the King? He (the narrator) said: I saw the Messenger of Allah laugh till his front teeth were visible. And it was said: That would be the lowest rank among the inhabitants of Paradise.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنِّي لأَعْلَمُ آخِرَ أَهْلِ النَّارِ خُرُوجًا مِنْهَا وَآخِرَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ دُخُولاً الْجَنَّةَ رَجُلٌ يَخْرُجُ مِنَ النَّارِ حَبْوًا فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى لَهُ اذْهَبْ فَادْخُلِ الْجَنَّةَ فَيَأْتِيهَا فَيُخَيَّلُ إِلَيْهِ أَنَّهَا مَلأَى فَيَرْجِعُ فَيَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ وَجَدْتُهَا مَلأَى فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى لَهُ اذْهَبْ فَادْخُلِ الْجَنَّةَ قَالَ فَيَأْتِيهَا فَيُخَيَّلُ إِلَيْهِ أَنَّهَا مَلأَى فَيَرْجِعُ فَيَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ وَجَدْتُهَا مَلأَى فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ لَهُ اذْهَبْ فَادْخُلِ الْجَنَّةَ فَإِنَّ لَكَ مِثْلَ الدُّنْيَا وَعَشَرَةَ أَمْثَالِهَا أَوْ إِنَّ لَكَ عَشَرَةَ أَمْثَالِ الدُّنْيَا قَالَ فَيَقُولُ أَتَسْخَرُ بِي أَوْ أَتَضْحَكُ بِي وَأَنْتَ الْمَلِكُ قَالَ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ ضَحِكَ حَتَّى بَدَتْ نَوَاجِذُهُ قَالَ فَكَانَ يُقَالُ ذَاكَ أَدْنَى أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ مَنْزِلَةً  

I recognise the last of the inhabitants of Fire to be taken out thereof. A man will come out of it crawling. It will be said to him: Go and enter Paradise. He (the Holy Prophet) said: He would go there to enter Paradise, but would find persons who have already occupied all its apartments. It would be said to him: Do you recall the time when you were in it (in the Hell)? He would say: Yes. It would be said to him: Express any desire. And he would express the desire. It would be said to him: For thee is that which thou desireth and ten times the world (worldly resources). He (the Holy Prophet) said: He would say: Art Thou making a fun of me, though Thou art the King? I saw the Messenger of Allah laugh till his front teeth were visible.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنِّي لأَعْرِفُ آخِرَ أَهْلِ النَّارِ خُرُوجًا مِنَ النَّارِ رَجُلٌ يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا زَحْفًا فَيُقَالُ لَهُ انْطَلِقْ فَادْخُلِ الْجَنَّةَ قَالَ فَيَذْهَبُ فَيَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ فَيَجِدُ النَّاسَ قَدْ أَخَذُوا الْمَنَازِلَ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ أَتَذْكُرُ الزَّمَانَ الَّذِي كُنْتَ فِيهِ فَيَقُولُ نَعَمْ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ تَمَنَّ فَيَتَمَنَّى فَيُقَالُ لَهُ لَكَ الَّذِي تَمَنَّيْتَ وَعَشَرَةُ أَضْعَافِ الدُّنْيَا قَالَ فَيَقُولُ أَتَسْخَرُ بِي وَأَنْتَ الْمَلِكُ قَالَ فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ ضَحِكَ حَتَّى بَدَتْ نَوَاجِذُهُ  

Verily the Messenger of Allah said: The last to enter Paradise would be a man who would walk once and stumble once and be burnt by the Fire once. Then when he gets beyond it, he will turn to it and say: Blessed is He Who has saved me from thee. Allah has given me something He has not given to any one of those in earlier or later times. Then a tree would be raised up for him and he will say: O my Lord I bring me near this tree so that I may take shelter in its shade and drink of its water. Allah, the Exalted and Great, would say: O son of Adam, if I grant you this, you will ask Me for something else. He would say: No. my Lord. And he would promise Him that he would not ask for anything else. His Lord would excuse him because He sees what he cannot help desiring; so He would bring him near it, and he would take shelter in its shade and drink of its water. Afterwards a tree more beautiful than the first would be raised up before him and he would say: O my Lord! bring me near this tree in order that I may drink of its water and take shelter in its shade and I shall not ask Thee for anything else. He (Allah) would say: O son of Adam, if I bring you near it you may ask me for something else. He would promise Him that he would not ask for anything else. His Lord will excuse him because He would see something he cannot help desiring. So He would bring him near it and he would enjoy its shade and drink its water. Then a tree would be raised up for him at the gate of the Paradise, more beautiful than the first two. He would say: O my Lord! bring me near this (tree) so that I may enjoy its shade and drink from its water. I shall not ask Thee for anything else. He (Allah) would say: O son of Adam! did you not promise Me that you would not ask Me anything else? He would say: Yes, my Lord, but I shall not ask Thee for anything else. His Lord would excuse him for He sees something the temptation of which he could not resist. He (Allah) would bring him near to it, and when He would bring him near it he would hear the voices of the inhabitants of the Paradise. He would say: O my Lord! admit me to it. He (Allah) would say: O son of Adam, what will bring an end to your requests to Me? Will it please you if I give you the whole world and a like one along with it? He will say: O my Lord! art Thou mocking at me, though Thou art the Lord of the worlds? Ibn Mas'ud laughed and asked (the hearers): Why don't you ask me what I am laughing at. They (then) said: Why do you laugh? He said: It is in this way that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ laughed. They (the companions of the Holy Prophet) asked: Why do you laugh. Messenger of Allah? He said: On account of the laugh of the Lord of the universe, when he ldesirer of Paradise) sai Thou mocking at me though Thou art the Lord of the worlds? He would say: I am not mocking at you, but I have power to do whatever I will.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ آخِرُ مَنْ يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ رَجُلٌ فَهُوَ يَمْشِي مَرَّةً وَيَكْبُو مَرَّةً وَتَسْفَعُهُ النَّارُ مَرَّةً فَإِذَا مَا جَاوَزَهَا الْتَفَتَ إِلَيْهَا فَقَالَ تَبَارَكَ الَّذِي نَجَّانِي مِنْكِ لَقَدْ أَعْطَانِيَ اللَّهُ شَيْئًا مَا أَعْطَاهُ أَحَدًا مِنَ الأَوَّلِينَ وَالآخِرِينَ فَتُرْفَعُ لَهُ شَجَرَةٌ فَيَقُولُ أَىْ رَبِّ أَدْنِنِي مِنْ هَذِهِ الشَّجَرَةِ فَلأَسْتَظِلَّ بِظِلِّهَا وَأَشْرَبَ مِنْ مَائِهَا فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ ﷻ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ لَعَلِّي إِنْ أَعْطَيْتُكَهَا سَأَلْتَنِي غَيْرَهَا فَيَقُولُ لاَ يَا رَبِّ وَيُعَاهِدُهُ أَنْ لاَ يَسْأَلَهُ غَيْرَهَا وَرَبُّهُ يَعْذِرُهُ لأَنَّهُ يَرَى مَا لاَ صَبْرَ لَهُ عَلَيْهِ فَيُدْنِيهِ مِنْهَا فَيَسْتَظِلُّ بِظِلِّهَا وَيَشْرَبُ مِنْ مَائِهَا ثُمَّ تُرْفَعُ لَهُ شَجَرَةٌ هِيَ أَحْسَنُ مِنَ الأُولَى فَيَقُولُ أَىْ رَبِّ أَدْنِنِي مِنْ هَذِهِ لأَشْرَبَ مِنْ مَائِهَا وَأَسْتَظِلَّ بِظِلِّهَا لاَ أَسْأَلُكَ غَيْرَهَا فَيَقُولُ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ أَلَمْ تُعَاهِدْنِي أَنْ لاَ تَسْأَلَنِي غَيْرَهَا فَيَقُولُ لَعَلِّي إِنْ أَدْنَيْتُكَ مِنْهَا تَسْأَلُنِي غَيْرَهَا فَيُعَاهِدُهُ أَنْ لاَ يَسْأَلَهُ غَيْرَهَا وَرَبُّهُ يَعْذِرُهُ لأَنَّهُ يَرَى مَا لاَ صَبْرَ لَهُ عَلَيْهِ فَيُدْنِيهِ مِنْهَا فَيَسْتَظِلُّ بِظِلِّهَا وَيَشْرَبُ مِنْ مَائِهَا ثُمَّ تُرْفَعُ لَهُ شَجَرَةٌ عِنْدَ بَابِ الْجَنَّةِ هِيَ أَحْسَنُ مِنَ الأُولَيَيْنِ فَيَقُولُ أَىْ رَبِّ أَدْنِنِي مِنْ هَذِهِ لأَسْتَظِلَّ بِظِلِّهَا وَأَشْرَبَ مِنْ مَائِهَا لاَ أَسْأَلُكَ غَيْرَهَا فَيَقُولُ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ أَلَمْ تُعَاهِدْنِي أَنْ لاَ تَسْأَلَنِي غَيْرَهَا قَالَ بَلَى يَا رَبِّ هَذِهِ لاَ أَسْأَلُكَ غَيْرَهَا وَرَبُّهُ يَعْذِرُهُ لأَنَّهُ يَرَى مَا لاَ صَبْرَ لَهُ عَلَيْهَا فَيُدْنِيهِ مِنْهَا فَإِذَا أَدْنَاهُ مِنْهَا فَيَسْمَعُ أَصْوَاتَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ فَيَقُولُ أَىْ رَبِّ أَدْخِلْنِيهَا فَيَقُولُ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ مَا يَصْرِينِي مِنْكَ أَيُرْضِيكَ أَنْ أُعْطِيَكَ الدُّنْيَا وَمِثْلَهَا مَعَهَا قَالَ يَا رَبِّ أَتَسْتَهْزِئُ مِنِّي وَأَنْتَ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ فَضَحِكَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ فَقَالَ أَلاَ تَسْأَلُونِّي مِمَّ أَضْحَكُ فَقَالُوا مِمَّ تَضْحَكُ قَالَ هَكَذَا ضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالُوا مِمَّ تَضْحَكُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ مِنْ ضِحْكِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ حِينَ قَالَ أَتَسْتَهْزِئُ مِنِّي وَأَنْتَ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ فَيَقُولُ إِنِّي لاَ أَسْتَهْزِئُ مِنْكَ وَلَكِنِّي عَلَى مَا أَشَاءُ قَادِرٌ  

Amongst the inhabitants of Paradise the lowest in rank will be the person whose face Allah would turn away from the Fire towards the Paradise, and make a shady tree appear before him. He would say: O my Lord! direct my steps to this tree so that I (should enjoy) its shade; and the rest of the hadith is like that narrated by Ibn Mas'ud, but he did not mention:" He (Allah) would say: O son of Adam! what will bring an end to your making requests to Me" to the end of the tradition. In it, he added: Allah will remind him: Ask such and such, and when his expectations would be realised, Allah would say: That is for you, and ten times as much. He said that he would then enter his house and his two wives with large and dark eyes would enter after him. They will say: Praise be to Allah, Who has created you for us and us for you. He will say: No one has been given the like of what I have been given.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ أَدْنَى أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ مَنْزِلَةً رَجُلٌ صَرَفَ اللَّهُ وَجْهَهُ عَنِ النَّارِ قِبَلَ الْجَنَّةِ وَمَثَّلَ لَهُ شَجَرَةً ذَاتَ ظِلٍّ فَقَالَ أَىْ رَبِّ قَدِّمْنِي إِلَى هَذِهِ الشَّجَرَةِ أَكُونُ فِي ظِلِّهَا وَسَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ بِنَحْوِ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ وَلَمْ يُذْكُرْ فَيَقُولُ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ مَا يَصْرِينِي مِنْكَ إِلَى آخِرِ الْحَدِيثِ وَزَادَ فِيهِ وَيُذَكِّرُهُ اللَّهُ سَلْ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَإِذَا انْقَطَعَتْ بِهِ الأَمَانِيُّ قَالَ اللَّهُ هُوَ لَكَ وَعَشَرَةُ أَمْثَالِهِ قَالَ ثُمَّ يَدْخُلُ بَيْتَهُ فَتَدْخُلُ عَلَيْهِ زَوْجَتَاهُ مِنَ الْحُورِ الْعِينِ فَتَقُولاَنِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَحْيَاكَ لَنَا وَأَحْيَانَا لَكَ قَالَ فَيَقُولُ مَا أُعْطِيَ أَحَدٌ مِثْلَ مَا أُعْطِيتُ  

Moses asked his Lord: Who amongst the inhabitants of Paradise is the lowest to rank? He (Allah) said: The person who would be admitted into Paradise last of all among those deserving of Paradise who are admitted to it. I would be said to him: Enter Paradise. He would say: O my Lord! how (should I enter) while the people have settled in their apartments and taken the shares (portions)? It would be said to him: Would you be pleased if there be for you like the kingdom of a king amongst the kings of the world? He would say: I am pleased my Lord. He (Allah) would say: For you is that, and like that, and like that, and like that, and that. He would say at the fifth (point): I am well pleased. My Lord. He (Allah) would say: It is for you and, ten times like it, and for you is what your self desires and your eye enjoys. He would say: I am well pleased, my Lord. He (Moses) said: (Which is) the highest of their (inhabitants of Paradise) ranks? He (Allah) said: They are those whom I choose. I establish their honour with My own hand and then set a seal over it (and they would be blessed with Bounties) which no eye has seen, no ear has heard and no human mind has perceived: and this is sub- stantiated by the Book of Allah, Exalted and Great:" So no soul knows what delight of the eye is hidden for them; a reward for what they did" (xxxii. 17).  

حَدَّثَنَا مُطَرِّفٌ وَابْنُ أَبْجَرَ سَمِعَا الشَّعْبِيَّ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ الْمُغِيرَةَ بْنَ شُعْبَةَ يُخْبِرُ بِهِ النَّاسَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ رَفَعَهُ أَحَدُهُمَا أُرَاهُ ابْنَ أَبْجَرَ قَالَ سَأَلَ مُوسَى رَبَّهُ مَا أَدْنَى أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ مَنْزِلَةً قَالَ هُوَ رَجُلٌ يَجِيءُ بَعْدَ مَا أُدْخِلَ أَهْلُ الْجَنَّةِ الْجَنَّةَ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ ادْخُلِ الْجَنَّةَ فَيَقُولُ أَىْ رَبِّ كَيْفَ وَقَدْ نَزَلَ النَّاسُ مَنَازِلَهُمْ وَأَخَذُوا أَخَذَاتِهِمْ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ أَتَرْضَى أَنْ يَكُونَ لَكَ مِثْلُ مُلْكِ مَلِكٍ مِنْ مُلُوكِ الدُّنْيَا فَيَقُولُ رَضِيتُ رَبِّ فَيَقُولُ لَكَ ذَلِكَ وَمِثْلُهُ وَمِثْلُهُ وَمِثْلُهُ وَمِثْلُهُ فَقَالَ فِي الْخَامِسَةِ رَضِيتُ رَبِّ فَيَقُولُ هَذَا لَكَ وَعَشَرَةُ أَمْثَالِهِ وَلَكَ مَا اشْتَهَتْ نَفْسُكَ وَلَذَّتْ عَيْنُكَ فَيَقُولُ رَضِيتُ رَبِّ قَالَ رَبِّ فَأَعْلاَهُمْ مَنْزِلَةً قَالَ أُولَئِكَ الَّذِينَ أَرَدْتُ غَرَسْتُ كَرَامَتَهُمْ بِيَدِي وَخَتَمْتُ عَلَيْهَا فَلَمْ تَرَ عَيْنٌ وَلَمْ تَسْمَعْ أُذُنٌ وَلَمْ يَخْطُرْ عَلَى قَلْبِ بَشَرٍ قَالَ وَمِصْدَاقُهُ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ ﷻ { فَلاَ تَعْلَمُ نَفْسٌ مَا أُخْفِيَ لَهُمْ مِنْ قُرَّةِ أَعْيُنٍ} الآيَةَ  

Sha'bi reported he had heard al-Mughira b. Shu'ba say on the pulpit that Moses (peace be upon him) had asked Allah, Exalted and Great, about the reward of the lowest of the inhabitants of Paradise, and the remaining part of hadith is the same (as narrated) above.  

عَنْ أَخَسِّ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ مِنْهَا حَظًّا وَسَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ بِنَحْوِهِ  

I know the last of the inhabitants of Paradise to enter it and the last of the inhabitants of Hell to come out of it. He is a man who would be brought on the Day of Resurrection and it will be said: Present his minor sins to him, and withhold from him his serious sins. Then the minor sins would be placed before him, and it would be said: On such and such a day you did so and so and on such and such a day you did so and so. He would say: Yes. It will not be possible for him to deny, while he would be afraid lest serious sins should be presented before him. It would be said to him: In place of every evil deed you will have a good deed. He will say: My Lord! I have done things I do not see here. I indeed saw the Messenger of Allah laugh till his front teeth were exposed.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنِّي لأَعْلَمُ آخِرَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ دُخُولاً الْجَنَّةَ وَآخِرَ أَهْلِ النَّارِ خُرُوجًا مِنْهَا رَجُلٌ يُؤْتَى بِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَيُقَالُ اعْرِضُوا عَلَيْهِ صِغَارَ ذُنُوبِهِ وَارْفَعُوا عَنْهُ كِبَارَهَا فَتُعْرَضُ عَلَيْهِ صِغَارُ ذُنُوبِهِ فَيُقَالُ عَمِلْتَ يَوْمَ كَذَا وَكَذَا كَذَا وَكَذَا وَعَمِلْتَ يَوْمَ كَذَا وَكَذَا كَذَا وَكَذَا فَيَقُولُ نَعَمْ لاَ يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يُنْكِرَ وَهُوَ مُشْفِقٌ مِنْ كِبَارِ ذُنُوبِهِ أَنْ تُعْرَضَ عَلَيْهِ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ فَإِنَّ لَكَ مَكَانَ كُلِّ سَيِّئَةٍ حَسَنَةً فَيَقُولُ رَبِّ قَدْ عَمِلْتُ أَشْيَاءَ لاَ أَرَاهَا هَا هُنَا فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ ضَحِكَ حَتَّى بَدَتْ نَوَاجِذُهُ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Indeed the least of the people of Paradise in rank is the one who shall look at his gardens, his wives, his bounties, his servants and his beds for the distance of a thousand years, and the noblest of them with Allah is the one who shall look at His Face morning and night." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited: Some faces on that day shall be radiant. They shall be looking at their Lord.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّ أَدْنَى أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ مَنْزِلَةً لَمَنْ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى جِنَانِهِ وَأَزْوَاجِهِ وَنَعِيمِهِ وَخَدَمِهِ وَسُرُرِهِ مَسِيرَةَ أَلْفِ سَنَةٍ وَأَكْرَمَهُمْ عَلَى اللَّهِ مَنْ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى وَجْهِهِ غُدْوَةً وَعَشِيَّةً ثُمَّ قَرَأَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ (وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ نَاضِرَةٌ * إِلَى رَبِّهَا نَاظِرَةٌ )  

"The least of the people of Paradise in position is the one with eighty thousand servants and seventy-two wives. He shall have a tent of pearl, peridot, and corundum set up for him,(the size of which is) like that which is between Al-Jabiyyah and Sana'a."And with this chain, it is narrated from the Prophet ﷺ that he said: "Whoever of the people of (destined to enter) Paradise dies, young or old, they shall be brought back in Paradise thirty years old, they will not increase in that ever, and likewise the people of the Fire." And with this chain, it is narrated from the Prophet ﷺ that he said: "There are upon them crowns, the least of its pearls would illuminate what is between the East and the West."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَدْنَى أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ الَّذِي لَهُ ثَمَانُونَ أَلْفَ خَادِمٍ وَاثْنَتَانِ وَسَبْعُونَ زَوْجَةً وَتُنْصَبُ لَهُ قُبَّةٌ مِنْ لُؤْلُؤٍ وَزَبَرْجَدٍ وَيَاقُوتٍ كَمَا بَيْنَ الْجَابِيَةِ إِلَى صَنْعَاءَ وَبِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ مَاتَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ مِنْ صَغِيرٍ أَوْ كَبِيرٍ يُرَدُّونَ بَنِي ثَلاَثِينَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ لاَ يَزِيدُونَ عَلَيْهَا أَبَدًا وَكَذَلِكَ أَهْلُ النَّارِ وَبِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ عَلَيْهِمُ التِّيجَانَ إِنَّ أَدْنَى لُؤْلُؤَةٍ مِنْهَا لَتُضِيءُ مَا بَيْنَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ  

"I know the last of the people of the Fire to depart from it. A man will exit it crawling, and he will say: 'O Lord! The people have taken all the places.'" He said: "So it will be said to him: 'Go to Paradise to enter Paradise.' So he will go to enter, but he will see that the people have taken all the places. He will return and say: 'O Lord! The people have taken all of the places.' So it will be said to him: 'Do you remember the times you used to live in?' And he will say: 'Yes.' So it will be said to him: 'Wish, He will wish for something, and it will be said to him: 'For you is whatever you wished for, and ten times the world.' He will say: 'Do you mock me while you are the King?'" He (Ibn Masud) said: "I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ laugh until his molars were visible."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنِّي لأَعْرِفُ آخِرَ أَهْلِ النَّارِ خُرُوجًا رَجُلٌ يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا زَحْفًا فَيَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ قَدْ أَخَذَ النَّاسُ الْمَنَازِلَ قَالَ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ انْطَلِقْ فَادْخُلِ الْجَنَّةَ قَالَ فَيَذْهَبُ لِيَدْخُلَ فَيَجِدُ النَّاسَ قَدْ أَخَذُوا الْمَنَازِلَ فَيَرْجِعُ فَيَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ قَدْ أَخَذَ النَّاسُ الْمَنَازِلَ قَالَ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ أَتَذْكُرُ الزَّمَانَ الَّذِي كُنْتَ فِيهِ فَيَقُولُ نَعَمْ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ تَمَنَّ قَالَ فَيَتَمَنَّى فَيُقَالُ لَهُ فَإِنَّ لَكَ مَا تَمَنَّيْتَ وَعَشَرَةَ أَضْعَافِ الدُّنْيَا قَالَ فَيَقُولُ أَتَسْخَرُ بِي وَأَنْتَ الْمَلِكُ قَالَ فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ ضَحِكَ حَتَّى بَدَتْ نَوَاجِذُهُ  

"While he was on the Minbar, I heard Al-Mughirah bin Shu'bah saying - and he attributed it to the Prophet ﷺ - 'Indeed Musa [peace be upon him] asked his Lord: "O Lord! Who is the lowest in rank among the people of Paradise?" He said: "A man who comes after the people of Paradise have been admitted to Paradise, and he is told to enter. He says: 'How can I enter when they have gotten all of their abodes, and all that is to be had?'" He said: "So it is said to him: 'Would you accept if you were to have what a king in the world?' He says: 'Yes, O Lord! I accept.' So it is said to him: 'Then for you is this and its like, and its like again, and its like again.' So he says: 'I accept, O Lord!' So it is said to him: 'Then for you is this and ten the like thereof.' So he says: 'I accept, O Lord!' So it is said: 'Indeed you shall have this, and whatever your soul desires, and whatever delights your eyes.'"

“I know the last of the people of Hell who will be brought forth from it, and the last of the people of Paradise to be admitted to Paradise. (It is) a man who will emerge from Hell crawling, and it will be said to him: ‘Go and enter Paradise.’ He will come to it and it will be made to appear to him as if it is full.’ Allah will say: ‘Go and enter Paradise.’ He will come to it and it will appear to him as if it is full. So he will say: ‘O Lord, I found it full.’ Allah will say: ‘Go and enter Paradise.’ He will come to it and it will be made to appear to him as if it is full. So he will say: ‘O Lord, I found it full.’ Allah will say: ‘Go and enter Paradise, for you will have the like of the world and ten times more, or you will have ten times the like of the world.’ He will say: ‘Are You mocking me, or are You laughing at me, when You are the Sovereign?’” He said: "And I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ smiling so broadly that his molar teeth could be seen." And he used to say: "This is the lowest of the people of Paradise in status."

[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ, he said: "Verily, the last person to enter Jannah will be a man walking on the Sirat (bridge to Paradise). He will stumble once and walk once, and the fire will scorch him once. Once he has crossed the Sirat, he will turn towards it and say, 'Blessed is the One who saved me from you. Indeed, Allah has given me what He has not given to anyone from the earlier or later nations.' He will then be shown a tree and he will look at it and say, 'O Lord, get me closer to this tree so that I may get shade from its shade and drink from its water.' Allah will say, 'O My servant, didn't you make a promise not to demand anything other than this tree?' He will say, 'Yes, O Lord,' and he will pledge to Allah not to ask for anything else. However, Allah knows that he will eventually ask for more as he cannot bear the thought of being deprived of it. So, Allah will bring him closer to it and a tree better than it will be elevated for him. He will say, 'O Lord, bring me closer to this tree so that I may take shade under its shade and drink from its water.' Allah will say, 'O My servant, didn't you make a promise not to demand anything other than this tree?' He will say, 'Yes, O Lord,' and he will pledge to Allah not to ask for anything else. Yet, Allah knows that he will eventually ask for more as he cannot bear the thought of being deprived of it. So, Allah will bring him closer to it and a tree will be elevated near the gate of Jannah, it will be better than the previous ones. He will say, 'O Lord, bring me closer to this tree so that I may take shade under its shade and drink from its water.' Allah will say, 'O My servant, didn't you make a promise not to demand anything other than this tree?' He will say, 'Yes, O Lord,' and he will pledge to Allah not to ask for anything else. Yet, Allah knows that he will eventually ask for more as he cannot bear the thought of being deprived of it. So, Allah will bring him closer to it and he will hear the voices of the dwellers of Jannah. He will say, 'O Lord, enter me into Jannah.' Allah will say, 'What can satisfy you, O My servant? Will you be pleased if I give you the entire world and its equivalent along with it?' He will say, 'Are you mocking me, O Lord, while You are the Lord of Honor?' Allah will laugh until His molars will become visible. Then, Allah's Messenger ﷺ recited the verse: 'Ask Me and I will grant you [your request].'" Abdullah said, 'Shouldn't you ask me why I laughed?' They said, 'Why did you laugh, O Messenger of Allah?' He said, 'I laughed at the laugh of the Lord when He said to His servant, 'Are you mocking Me, O My servant, while You are the Lord of Honor?' "

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Verily, the lowest-ranked person in Jannah is a man who wishes upon Allah (ﷻ) and is granted what he desires. It is said to him, 'You have this and its equal along with it, except that he is taught and it is said to him, 'You have this and its equal along with it.' Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'It is said to him, 'You have this and ten times its like.'"  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ أَدْنَى أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ مَنْزِلَةً رَجُلٌ يَتَمَنَّى عَلَى اللهِ ﷻ فَيُقَالُ لَكَ ذَلِكَ وَمِثْلُهُ مَعَهُ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ يُلَقَّنُ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَيُقَالُ لَكَ ذَلِكَ وَمِثْلُهُ مَعَهُ فَقَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيُّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَيُقَالُ لَكَ ذَلِكَ وَعَشَرَةُ أَمْثَالِهِ

And he used to say: "This is the lowest of the people of Paradise in status." (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4339)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ آخِرَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ دُخُولًا الْجَنَّةَ وَآخِرَ أَهْلِ النَّارِ خُرُوجًا مِنَ النَّارِ رَجُلٌ يَخْرُجُ مِنَ النَّارِ حَبْوًا فَيَقُولُ اللهُ ﷻ لَهُ اذْهَبْ فَادْخُلِ الْجَنَّةَ فَيَأْتِيهَا فَيُخَيَّلُ إِلَيْهِ أَنَّهَا مَلْأَى فَيَرْجِعُ فَيَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ وَجَدْتُهَا مَلْأَى فَيَقُولُ اذْهَبْ فَادْخُلِ الْجَنَّةَ قَالَ فَيَأْتِيهَا فَيُخَيَّلُ إِلَيْهِ أَنَّهَا مَلْأَى فَيَرْجِعُ فَيَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ قَدْ وَجَدْتُهَا مَلْأَى فَيَقُولُ اذْهَبْ فَادْخُلِ الْجَنَّةَ فَيَأْتِيهَا فَيُخَيَّلُ إِلَيْهِ أَنَّهَا مَلْأَى فَيَرْجِعُ إِلَيْهِ فَيَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ وَجَدْتُهَا مَلْأَى ثَلَاثًا فَيَقُولُ اذْهَبْ فَإِنَّ لَكَ مِثْلَ الدُّنْيَا وَعَشَرَةَ أَمْثَالِهَا أَوْ عَشَرَةَ أَمْثَالِ الدُّنْيَا قَالَ يَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ أَتَضْحَكُ مِنِّي وَأَنْتَ الْمَلِكُ؟ قَالَ فَكَانَيُقَالُ هَذَا أَدْنَى أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ مَنْزِلَةً  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Verily, the last two people to come out of the Fire, Allah will say to one of them, 'O son of Adam, what have you prepared for this Day? Have you done any good deeds?' He will say, 'No, my Lord.' So he will be ordered to be taken to the Fire, for he will be one of the worst inhabitants of the Fire. Then Allah will say to the other person, 'O son of Adam, what have you prepared for this Day? Have you done any good deeds or have you hoped for my mercy?' He will say, 'No, O Lord, except that I hoped for Your mercy.' So a tree will be raised for him, and he will say, 'O Lord, admit me under the shade of this tree, and let me eat from its fruits and drink from its water.' And he will be promised that he will not ask for anything else, but he will be shaded by the tree and eat from its fruits and drink from its water. Then another tree, better than the first, will be raised for him, and he will say, 'O Lord, admit me under the shade of this tree, and let me eat from its fruits and drink from its water.' And he will be promised that he will not ask for anything else, but he will be shaded by the tree and eat from its fruits and drink from its water. Then a tree will be raised for him at the gate of Paradise, and it will be better than the previous two and more abundant in water. He will say, 'O Lord, admit me under the shade of this tree.' So he will be brought near to it and be shaded by it. He will then hear the voices of the people of Paradise, and he will not be able to resist and say, 'O Lord, enter me into Paradise.' Allah will say, 'Ask and you shall be granted.' So he will ask and wish for the equivalent of three days of the world's life, and Allah will teach him what he had no knowledge of before. Then when he finishes his wishes and asks, Allah will say, 'For you is what you have asked for and the like of it.' Abu Sa'id said: 'The same was narrated by his companion, and Abu Hurairah said: 'And ten times more like it was narrated by his companion.' One of them said to his companion, 'Tell me what you heard, and I will tell you what I heard.'"  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ آخِرَ رَجُلَيْنِ يَخْرُجَانِ مِنَ النَّارِ يَقُولُ اللهُ لِأَحَدِهِمَا يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ مَا أَعْدَدْتَ لِهَذَا الْيَوْمِ هَلْ عَمِلْتَ خَيْرًا قَطُّ؟ هَلْ رَجَوْتَنِي؟ فَيَقُولُ لَا أَيْ رَبِّ فَيُؤْمَرُ بِهِ إِلَى النَّارِ فَهُوَ أَشَدُّ أَهْلِ النَّارِ حَسْرَةً وَيَقُولُ لِلْآخَرِ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ مَاذَا أَعْدَدْتَ لِهَذَا الْيَوْمِ؟ هَلْ عَمِلْتَ خَيْرًا قَطُّ؟ أَوْ رَجَوْتَنِي؟ فَيَقُولُ لَا يَا رَبِّ إِلَّا أَنِّي كُنْتُ أَرْجُوكَ قَالَ فَيَرْفَعُ لَهُ شَجَرَةً فَيَقُولُ أَيْ رَبِّ أَقِرَّنِي تَحْتَ هَذِهِ الشَّجَرَةِ فَأَسْتَظِلَّ بِظِلِّهَا وَآكُلَ مِنْ ثَمَرِهَا وَأَشْرَبَ مِنْ مَائِهَا وَيُعَاهِدُهُ أَنْ لَا يَسْأَلَهُ غَيْرَهَا فَيُقِرُّهُ تَحْتَهَا ثُمَّ تُرْفَعُ لَهُ شَجَرَةٌ هِيَ أَحْسَنُ مِنَ الْأُولَى وَأَغْدَقُ مَاءً فَيَقُولُ أَيْ رَبِّ أَقِرَّنِي تَحْتَهَا لَا أَسْأَلُكَ غَيْرَهَا فَأَسْتَظِلَّ بِظِلِّهَا وَآكُلَ مِنْ ثَمَرِهَا وَأَشْرَبَ مِنْ مَائِهَا فَيَقُولُ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ أَلَمْ تُعَاهِدْنِي أَنْ لَا تَسْأَلَنِي غَيْرَهَا؟ فَيَقُولُ أَيْ رَبِّ هَذِهِ لَا أَسْأَلُكَ غَيْرَهَا وَيُعَاهِدُهُ أَنْ لَا يَسْأَلَهُغَيْرَهَا فَيُقِرُّهُ تَحْتَهَا ثُمَّ تُرْفَعُ لَهُ شَجَرَةٌ عِنْدَ بَابِ الْجَنَّةِ هِيَ أَحْسَنُ مِنَ الْأَوَّلَتَيْنِ وَأَغْدَقُ مَاءً فَيَقُولُ أَيْ رَبِّ هَذِهِ أَقِرَّنِي تَحْتَهَا فَيُدْنِيَهُ مِنْهَا وَيُعَاهِدُهُ أَنْ لَا يَسْأَلَهُ غَيْرَهَا فَيَسْمَعُ أَصْوَاتَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ فَلَا يَتَمَالَكْ فَيَقُولُ أَيْ رَبِّ الْجَنَّةَ أَيْ رَبِّ أَدْخِلْنِي الْجَنَّةَ فَيَقُولُ اللهُ ﷻ سَلْ وَتَمَنَّهْ فَيَسْأَلَهُ وَيَتَمَنَّى مِقْدَارَ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ مِنْ أَيَّامِ الدُّنْيَا وَيُلَقِّنُهُ اللهُ مَا لَا عِلْمَ لَهُ بِهِ فَيَسْأَلُ وَيَتَمَنَّى فَإِذَا فَرَغَ قَالَ لَكَ مَا سَأَلْتَ قَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ وَمِثْلُهُ مَعَهُ وَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ وَعَشَرَةُ أَمْثَالِهِ مَعَهُ قَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا لِصَاحِبِهِ حَدِّثْ بِمَا سَمِعْتَ وَأُحَدِّثُ بِمَا سَمِعْتُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said that the lowest rank of the people of Paradise is for a person who has eighty thousand servants, seventy-two wives, and is given a dome made of pearls, rubies, and emeralds, which is as wide as the distance between Al-Jabiyyah and Sana'a.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ أَدْنَى أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ مَنْزِلَةً الَّذِي لَهُ ثَمَانُونَ أَلْفَ خَادِمٍ وَاثْنَانِ وَسَبْعُونَ زَوْجَةً وَيُنْصَبُ لَهُ قُبَّةٌ مِنْ لُؤْلُؤٍ وَيَاقُوتٍ وَزَبَرْجَدٍ كَمَا بَيْنَ الْجَابِيَةِ وَصَنْعَاءَ  

[Machine] On the authority of Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri and Abu Hurayrah, who said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The last person to leave the Hellfire will be a man who will be told by Allah, 'O son of Adam, what did you prepare for this day? Did you do any good or did you hope for My mercy?' He will reply, 'No, O Lord.' So he will be commanded to be taken to the Hellfire, and he will be the most deserving of its inhabitants. Then Allah will say to the other person, 'O son of Adam, what did you prepare for this day? Did you do any good or did you hope for My mercy?' He will reply, 'Yes, O Lord. I sincerely hoped that You would not return me to the Hellfire ever again.' So a tree will be raised for him, and he will say, 'O Lord, enable me to sit in its shade, eat from its fruits, and drink from its water.' He will be promised not to be asked for anything else, and he will be brought closer to it. Then another tree, better than the first one, will be raised for him, and he will have the same request. Finally, a tree will be raised at the gate of Paradise, which is the best of all, and a stream of abundant water will flow from it. He will make the same request as before, and he will hear the voices of the inhabitants of Paradise. He will not be able to contain himself and he will say, 'O Lord, admit me into Paradise.' Allah the Exalted and Glorious will say, 'Ask Me and I shall grant you your request.' So the man will ask and ask until he asks for an amount equivalent to the duration of three days in this worldly life. He will say, 'You will have what you asked for and ten times more with it.' Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri said: "One of them said to his companion: 'Relate to me what you have heard.' And the companion likewise asked his companion to relate to him what he had heard."

"I know the last of the people of the Fire to depart from it. A man will exit it crawling, and he will say: 'O Lord! The people have taken all the places.'" He said: "So it will be said to him: 'Go to Paradise to enter Paradise.' So he will go to enter, but he will see that the people have taken all the places. He will return and say: 'O Lord! The people have taken all of the places.' So it will be said to him: 'Do you remember the times you used to live in?' And he will say: 'Yes.' So it will be said to him: 'Wish, He will wish for something, and it will be said to him: 'For you is whatever you wished for, and ten times the world.' He will say: 'Do you mock me while you are the King?'" He (Ibn Masud) said: "I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ laugh until his molars were visible." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2595)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنِّي لَأَعْرِفُ آخِرَ أَهْلِ النَّارِ خُرُوجًا مِنَ النَّارِ رَجُلٌ يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا زَحْفًا فَيُقَالُ لَهُ انْطَلِقْ فَادْخُلِ الْجَنَّةَ قَالَ فَيَذْهَبُ يَدْخُلُ فَيَجِدُ النَّاسَ قَدْ أَخَذُواالْمَنَازِلَ قَالَ فَيَرْجِعُ فَيَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ قَدْ أَخَذَ النَّاسُ الْمَنَازِلَ قَالَ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ أَتَذْكُرُ الزَّمَانَ الَّذِي كُنْتَ فِيهِ؟ قَالَ فَيَقُولُ نَعَمْ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ تَمَنَّهْ فَيَتَمَنَّى فَيُقَالُ إِنَّ لَكَ الَّذِي تَمَنَّيْتَ وَعَشَرَةَ أَضْعَافِ الدُّنْيَا قَالَ فَيَقُولُ أَتَسْخَرُ بِي وَأَنْتَ الْمَلِكُ؟ قَالَ فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ ضَحِكَ حَتَّى بَدَتْ نَوَاجِذُهُ  

Verily the Messenger of Allah said: The last to enter Paradise would be a man who would walk once and stumble once and be burnt by the Fire once. Then when he gets beyond it, he will turn to it and say: Blessed is He Who has saved me from thee. Allah has given me something He has not given to any one of those in earlier or later times. Then a tree would be raised up for him and he will say: O my Lord I bring me near this tree so that I may take shelter in its shade and drink of its water. Allah, the Exalted and Great, would say: O son of Adam, if I grant you this, you will ask Me for something else. He would say: No. my Lord. And he would promise Him that he would not ask for anything else. His Lord would excuse him because He sees what he cannot help desiring; so He would bring him near it, and he would take shelter in its shade and drink of its water. Afterwards a tree more beautiful than the first would be raised up before him and he would say: O my Lord! bring me near this tree in order that I may drink of its water and take shelter in its shade and I shall not ask Thee for anything else. He (Allah) would say: O son of Adam, if I bring you near it you may ask me for something else. He would promise Him that he would not ask for anything else. His Lord will excuse him because He would see something he cannot help desiring. So He would bring him near it and he would enjoy its shade and drink its water. Then a tree would be raised up for him at the gate of the Paradise, more beautiful than the first two. He would say: O my Lord! bring me near this (tree) so that I may enjoy its shade and drink from its water. I shall not ask Thee for anything else. He (Allah) would say: O son of Adam! did you not promise Me that you would not ask Me anything else? He would say: Yes, my Lord, but I shall not ask Thee for anything else. His Lord would excuse him for He sees something the temptation of which he could not resist. He (Allah) would bring him near to it, and when He would bring him near it he would hear the voices of the inhabitants of the Paradise. He would say: O my Lord! admit me to it. He (Allah) would say: O son of Adam, what will bring an end to your requests to Me? Will it please you if I give you the whole world and a like one along with it? He will say: O my Lord! art Thou mocking at me, though Thou art the Lord of the worlds? Ibn Mas'ud laughed and asked (the hearers): Why don't you ask me what I am laughing at. They (then) said: Why do you laugh? He said: It is in this way that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ laughed. They (the companions of the Holy Prophet) asked: Why do you laugh. Messenger of Allah? He said: On account of the laugh of the Lord of the universe, when he ldesirer of Paradise) sai Thou mocking at me though Thou art the Lord of the worlds? He would say: I am not mocking at you, but I have power to do whatever I will. (Using translation from Muslim 187)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ آخِرُ مَنْ يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ رَجُلٌ فَهُوَ يَمْشِي مَرَّةً وَيَكْبُو مَرَّةً وَتَسْفَعُهُ النَّارُ مَرَّةً فَإِذَا جَاوَزَهَا الْتَفَتَ إِلَيْهَا فَقَالَ تَبَارَكَ الَّذِي أَنْجَانِي مِنْكِ لَقَدْ أَعْطَانِي اللهُ شَيْئًا مَا أَعْطَاهُ أَحَدًا مِنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَالْآخِرِينَ فَتُرْفَعُ لَهُ شَجَرَةٌ فَيَقُولُ أَيْ رَبِّ أَدْنِنِي مِنْ هَذِهِ الشَّجَرَةِ فَلْأَسْتَظِلَّ بِظِلِّهَا فَأَشْرَبَ مِنْ مَائِهَا فَيَقُولُ اللهُ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ فَلَعَلِّي إِذَا أَعْطَيْتُكَهَا سَأَلْتَنِي غَيْرَهَا فَيَقُولُ لَا يَا رَبِّ وَيُعَاهِدُهُ أَنْ لَا يَسْأَلَهُغَيْرَهَا قَالَ وَرَبُّهُ ﷻ يَعْذُرُهُ لِأَنَّهُ يَرَى مَا لَا صَبْرَ لَهُ عَلَيْهِ فَيُدْنِيهِ مِنْهَا فَيَسْتَظِلُّ بِظِلِّهَا وَيَشْرَبُ مِنْ مَائِهَا ثُمَّ تُرْفَعُ لَهُ شَجَرَةٌ هِيَ أَحْسَنُ مِنَ الْأُولَى فَيَقُولُ أَيْ رَبِّ هَذِهِ فَلْأَشْرَبْ مِنْ مَائِهَا وَأَسْتَظِلَّ بِظِلِّهَا لَا أَسْأَلُكَ غَيْرَهَا فَيَقُولُ ابْنَ آدَمَ أَلَمْ تُعَاهِدْنِي أَنْ لَا تَسْأَلَنِي غَيْرَهَا؟ فَيَقُولُ لَعَلِّي إِنْ أَدْنَيْتُكَ مِنْهَا تَسْأَلُنِي غَيْرَهَا؟ فَيُعَاهِدُهُ أَنْ لَا يَسْأَلَهُ غَيْرَهَا وَرَبُّهُ ﷻ يَعْذُرُهُ لِأَنَّهُ يَرَى مَا لَا صَبْرَ لَهُ عَلَيْهِ فَيُدْنِيهِ مِنْهَا فَيَسْتَظِلُّ بِظِلِّهَا وَيَشْرَبُ مِنْ مَائِهَا ثُمَّ تُرْفَعُ لَهُ شَجَرَةٌ عِنْدَ بَابِ الْجَنَّةِ هِيَ أَحْسَنُ مِنَ الْأُولَيَيْنِ فَيَقُولُ أَيْ رَبِّ أَدْنِنِي مِنْ هَذِهِ الشَّجَرَةِ فَأَسْتَظِلَّ بِظِلِّهَا وَأَشْرَبَ مِنْ مَائِهَا لَا أَسْأَلُكَ غَيْرَهَا فَيَقُولُ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ أَلَمْ تُعَاهِدْنِي أَنْ لَا تَسْأَلَنِي غَيْرَهَا؟ قَالَ بَلَى أَيْ رَبِّ هَذِهِ لَا أَسْأَلُكَ غَيْرَهَا فَيَقُولُ لَعَلِّي إِنْ أَدْنَيْتُكَ مِنْهَا تَسْأَلُنِي غَيْرَهَا فَيُعَاهِدُهُ أَنْ لَا يَسْأَلَهُ غَيْرَهَا وَرَبُّهُ يَعْذُرُهُ لِأَنَّهُ يَرَى مَا لَا صَبْرَ لَهُ عَلَيْهِ فَيُدْنِيهِ مِنْهَا فَإِذَا أَدْنَاهُ مِنْهَا سَمِعَ أَصْوَاتَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِفَيَقُولُ أَيْ رَبِّ أَدْخِلْنِيهَا فَيَقُولُ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ مَا يَصْرِينِي مِنْكَ؟ أَيُرْضِيكَ أَنْ أُعْطِيَكَ الدُّنْيَا وَمِثْلَهَا مَعَهَا؟ فَيَقُولُ أَيْ رَبِّ أَتَسْتَهْزِئُ بِي وَأَنْتَ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ؟ فَضَحِكَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ فَقَالَ أَلَا تَسْأَلُونِي مِمَّا أَضْحَكُ؟ فَقَالُوا مِمَّ تَضْحَكُ؟ فَقَالَ هَكَذَا ضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَلَا تَسْأَلُونِي مِمَّ أَضْحَكُ؟ فَقَالُوا مِمَّ تَضْحَكُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ مِنْ ضَحِكِ رَبِّي حِينَ قَالَ أَتَسْتَهْزِئُ مِنِّي وَأَنْتَ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ؟ فَيَقُولُ إِنِّي لَا أَسْتَهْزِئُ مِنْكَ وَلَكِنِّي عَلَى مَا أَشَاءُ قَدِيرٌ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, the lowest rank of the people of Paradise will look at the kingdom of Allah for a thousand years and see its furthest limits just as they see its closest limits. They will also look at their spouses and servants. And the best among them will have the rank of looking at the face of Allah Almighty twice every day."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ أَدْنَى أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ مَنْزِلَةً لَيَنْظُرُ فِي مُلْكِ أَلْفَيْ سَنَةٍ يَرَى أَقْصَاهُ كَمَا يَرَى أَدْنَاهُ يَنْظُرُ فِي أَزْوَاجِهِ وَخَدَمِهِ وَإِنَّ أَفْضَلَهُمْ مَنْزِلَةً لَيَنْظُرُ فِي وَجْهِ اللهِ تَعَالَى كُلَّ يَوْمٍ مَرَّتَيْنِ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Indeed the least of the people of Paradise in rank is the one who shall look at his gardens, his wives, his bounties, his servants and his beds for the distance of a thousand years, and the noblest of them with Allah is the one who shall look at His Face morning and night." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited: Some faces on that day shall be radiant. They shall be looking at their Lord. (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2553)   

عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَفَعَهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ أَدْنَى أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ مَنْزِلَةً الَّذِي يَنْظُرُ إِلَى جِنَانِهِ وَنَعِيمِهِ وَخَدَمِهِ وَسُرُرِهِ مِنْ مَسِيرَةِ أَلْفِ سَنَةٍ وَإِنَّ أَكْرَمَهُمْ عَلَى اللهِ مَنْ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى وَجْهِهِ غُدْوَةً وَعَشِيَّةً ثُمَّ تَلَا هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ {وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ نَاضِرَةٌ إِلَى رَبِّهَا نَاظِرَةٌ} [القيامة 23]  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, the lowest rank of the people of Paradise is a man whom Allah has diverted his face from the Hellfire towards Paradise, and He has planted for him a tree with shade. So, he says, 'O Lord, bring me close to this tree so that I may be in its shade.' So Allah says, 'Would you perhaps ask Me something other than that?' He says, 'No, by Your honor, I will not ask You anything other than that.' So Allah brings him near to it and sets for him another tree with shade and fruit. He says, 'O Lord, bring me near to this tree so that I may be in its shade and eat from its fruit.' So Allah says to him, 'Would you perhaps ask Me something other than that?' He says, 'No, by Your honor, I will not ask You anything other than that.' So Allah brings him near to it and sets for him another tree with shade, fruit, and water. He says, 'O Lord, bring me near to this tree so that I may be in its shade, eat from its fruit, and drink from its water.' So Allah says to him, 'Would you perhaps ask Me something other than that?' He says, 'No, by Your honor, I will not ask You anything other than that.' So Allah brings him near to it, and he sees the gate of Paradise. He says, 'O Lord, bring me to the gate of Paradise so that I may be beneath its branches and look at its residents.' So Allah brings him near to it, and he sees the people of Paradise and what is in it. He says, 'O Lord, admit me into Paradise!' He says, 'So Allah admits him into Paradise.' He says, 'When he enters Paradise, he says, 'Is all this for me?' Allah says to him, 'This is for you and ten times as much.' He says, 'Then he enters Paradise, and his two wives from the beautiful-eyed [maidens] of Paradise enter upon him. They say to him, 'Praise be to Allah, who has brought you to us and us to you.' He says, 'No one is given the likes of what I have been given.' And the people who receive the least punishment in Hell will be the one wearing two sandals of fire, because of which his brain will boil from the heat."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ أَدْنَى أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ مَنْزِلَةً رَجُلٌ صَرَفَ اللهُ وَجْهَهُ عَنِ النَّارِ قِبَلَ الْجَنَّةِ وَمَثَّلَ لَهُ شَجَرَةً ذَاتَ ظِلٍّ فَقَالَ أَيْ رَبِّ قَدِّمْنِي إِلَى هَذِهِ الشَّجَرَةِ فَأَكُونَ فِي ظِلِّهَا فَقَالَ اللهُ هَلْ عَسَيْتَ إِنْ فَعَلْتُ أَنْ تَسْأَلَنِي غَيْرَهَا؟ قَالَ لَا وَعِزَّتِكَ فَقَدَّمَهُ اللهُ إِلَيْهَا وَمَثَّلَ لَهُ شَجَرَةً ذَاتَ ظِلٍّ وَثَمَرٍ فَقَالَ أَيْ رَبِّ قَدِّمْنِي إِلَى هَذِهِ الشَّجَرَةِ أَكُونُ فِي ظِلِّهَا وَآكُلُ مِنْ ثَمَرِهَا فَقَالَ اللهُ لَهُ هَلْ عَسَيْتَ إِنْ أَعْطَيْتُكَ ذَلِكَ أَنْ تَسْأَلَنِي غَيْرَهُ؟ فَيَقُولُ لَا وَعِزَّتِكَ فَيُقَدِّمُهُ اللهُ إِلَيْهَا فَتُمَثَّلُ لَهُ شَجَرَةٌ أُخْرَى ذَاتُ ظِلٍّ وَثَمَرٍ وَمَاءٍ فَيَقُولُ أَيْ رَبِّ قَدِّمْنِي إِلَى هَذِهِ الشَّجَرَةِ أَكُونُ فِي ظِلِّهَا وَآكُلُ مِنْ ثَمَرِهَا وَأَشْرَبُ مِنْ مَائِهَا فَيَقُولُ لَهُ هَلْ عَسَيْتَ إِنْ فَعَلْتُ أَنْ تَسْأَلَنِي غَيْرَهُ؟ فَيَقُولُ لَا وَعِزَّتِكَ لَا أَسْأَلُكَ غَيْرَهُ فَيُقَدِّمُهُ اللهُ إِلَيْهَا فَيَبْرُزُ لَهُ بَابُ الْجَنَّةِ فَيَقُولُ أَيْ رَبِّ قَدِّمْنِي إِلَى بَابِ الْجَنَّةِ فَأَكُونَ تَحْتَ نِجَافِ الْجَنَّةِ وَأَنْظُرَ إِلَى أَهْلِهَافَيُقَدِّمُهُ اللهُ إِلَيْهَا فَيَرَى أَهْلَ الْجَنَّةِ وَمَا فِيهَا فَيَقُولُ أَيْ رَبِّ أَدْخِلْنِي الْجَنَّةَ قَالَ فَيُدْخِلُهُ اللهُ الْجَنَّةَ قَالَ فَإِذَا دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ قَالَ هَذَا لِي؟ قَالَ فَيَقُولُ اللهُ ﷻ لَهُ تَمَنَّ فَيَتَمَنَّى وَيُذَكِّرُهُ اللهُ سَلْ مِنْ كَذَا وَكَذَا حَتَّى إِذَا انْقَطَعَتْ بِهِ الْأَمَانِيُّ قَالَ اللهُ ﷻ هُوَ لَكَ وَعَشَرَةُ أَمْثَالِهِ قَالَ ثُمَّ يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ يَدْخُلُ عَلَيْهِ زَوْجَتَاهُ مِنَ الْحُورِ الْعِينِ فَيَقُولَانِ لَهُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَحْيَاكَ لَنَا وَأَحْيَانَا لَكَ قَالَ فَيَقُولُ مَا أُعْطِيَ أَحَدٌ مِثْلَ مَا أُعْطِيتُ قَالَ وَأَدْنَى أَهْلِ النَّارِ عَذَابًا يُنْعَلُ مَنْ نَارٍ بِنَعْلَيْنِ يَغْلِي دِمَاغُهُ مِنْ حَرَارَةِ نَعْلَيْهِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Verily, the lowest rank in Paradise is for a person who has seven degrees. He is on the sixth degree, and above him is the seventh degree. Indeed, he has three hundred servants who serve him. He is fed and provided with rest every day on three hundred pages. I only know that he said, 'There is gold in every page, and each page has a color that is not found in others.' He enjoys the first bite as much as he enjoys the last bite. As for drinks, he has three hundred cups, and in every cup, there is a color that is not found in the others. He enjoys the first sip as much as he enjoys the last sip. He says, 'O Lord, if You give permission, I will feed the people of Paradise and provide them with drinks. This will not diminish anything that I have.' He has seventy-two wives from the Hur al-'Ayn, aside from his wives from this world. And one of them will take her place on a space equal to a mile on the ground."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ أَدْنَى أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ مَنْزِلَةً إِنَّ لَهُ لَسَبْعَ دَرَجَاتٍ وَهُوَ عَلَى السَّادِسَةِ وَفَوْقَهُالسَّابِعَةُ وَإِنَّ لَهُ لَثَلَاثَ مِائَةِ خَادِمٍ وَيُغْدَى عَلَيْهِ وَيُرَاحُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ بِثَلَاثِ مِائَةِ صَحْفَةٍ وَلَا أَعْلَمُهُ إِلَّا قَالَ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ فِي كُلِّ صَحْفَةٍ لَوْنٌ لَيْسَ فِي الْأُخْرَى وَإِنَّهُ لَيَلَذُّ أَوَّلَهُ كَمَا يَلَذُّ آخِرَهُ وَمِنَ الْأَشْرِبَةِ ثَلَاثُمِائَةِ إِنَاءٍ فِي كُلِّ إِنَاءٍ لَوْنٌ لَيْسَ فِي الْآخَرِ وَإِنَّهُ لَيَلَذُّ أَوَّلَهُ كَمَا يَلَذُّ آخِرَهُ وَإِنَّهُ لَيَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ لَوْ أَذِنْتَ لِي لَأَطْعَمْتُ أَهْلَ الْجَنَّةِ وَسَقَيْتُهُمْ لَمْ يَنْقُصْ مِمَّا عِنْدِي شَيْءٌ وَإِنَّ لَهُ مِنَ الْحُورِ الْعِينِ لَاثْنَيْنِ وَسَبْعِينَ زَوْجَةً سِوَى أَزْوَاجِهِ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَإِنَّ الْوَاحِدَةَ مِنْهُنَّ لَيَأْخُذُ مَقْعَدُهَا قَدْرَ مِيلٍ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Indeed, the lowest rank of the people of Paradise is the one who desires something from Allah, and it will be said to him, 'You have that and its equivalent along with it, except that you will have much more.' It will be said to him, 'That is yours and its equivalent along with it.' Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'It will be said to him, 'That is yours and ten times its equivalent.'"  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّ أَدْنَى أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ مَنْزِلًا مَنْ يَتَمَنَّى عَلَى اللَّهِ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ لَكَ ذَاكَ وَمِثْلُهُ مَعَهُ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ يُلَقَّى سِوَى كَذَا وَكَذَا فَيُقَالُ لَهُ ذَاكَ لَكَ وَمِثْلُهُ مَعَهُ قَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيُّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ ذَاكَ وَعَشْرَةُ أَمْثَالِهِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The lowest rank of the people of Paradise is for a man who looks at his kingdom for a thousand years, seeing its furthest reaches as he sees its closest parts. He looks at his wives, servants, and palaces. The highest rank of the people of Paradise is for the one who looks at the face of Allah Almighty twice every day." Israel ibn Yunus transmitted from Thawr from Ibn Umar, who said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'The lowest rank of the people of Paradise is for the one who looks at his kingdom for a thousand years, and the highest rank is for the one who looks at the face of Allah Almighty twice every day.' Then he recited: 'Faces that Day will be radiant, looking at their Lord' (Quran 75:22), and 'To their Lord, on that Day, the gazes will be cast' (Quran 75:23). He said, 'They will look at the face of Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, every day.'"  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ أَدْنَى أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ مَنْزِلَةً لَرَجُلٌ يَنْظُرُ فِي مُلْكِهِ أَلْفَيْ سَنَةٍ يَرَى أَقْصَاهُ كَمَا يَرَى أَدْنَاهُ يَنْظُرُ فِي أَزْوَاجِهِ وَخَدَمِهِ وَسُرُرِهِ وَإِنَّ أَفْضَلَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ مَنْزِلَةً لَمَنْ يَنْظُرُ فِي وَجْهِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى كُلَّ يَوْمٍ مَرَّتَيْنِ» تَابَعَهُ إِسْرَائِيلُ بْنُ يُونُسَ عَنْ ثُوَيْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّ أَدْنَى أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ مَنْزِلَةً لَمَنْ يَرَى فِي مُلْكِهِ أَلْفَيْ سَنَةٍ وَإِنَّ أَفْضَلَهُمْ مَنْزِلَةً لَمَنْ يَنْظُرُ فِي وَجْهِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى كُلَّ يَوْمٍ مَرَّتَيْنِ ثُمَّ تَلَا {وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ نَاضِرَةٌ} [القيامة 22] قَالَ «الْبَيَاضُ وَالصَّفَاءُ» {إِلَى رَبِّهَا نَاظِرَةٌ} [القيامة 23] قَالَ «يَنْظُرُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ فِي وَجْهِ اللَّهِ ﷻ»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Moses asked his Lord, 'Which people of Paradise will have the lowest rank?' He said, 'A man who will come after all the people of Paradise have entered, and it will be said to him, "Enter Paradise," and he will say, "How can I enter Paradise when the people have taken their places and received their rewards?" He will be told, "Would you be content if you were given a kingdom equal to the kingdoms of the world?" He will say, "I am content, my Lord." He will be told, "You will have that and ten times as much." He will say, "I am content, my Lord." He will be told, "You will have that and whatever your soul desires and your eye finds delight in." Moses asked his Lord, 'Which people of Paradise will have the highest rank?' He said, 'I will tell you about those whom I have created with My own hand and sealed with My own seal. No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no human heart has ever imagined their reward.' The proof of that is in the Book of Allah the Exalted, where He says, "No person knows what is kept hidden for them of joy as a reward for what they used to do." (Quran 32:17)"  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ «إِنَّ مُوسَى سَأَلَ رَبَّهُ أَيُّ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ أَدْنَى مَنْزِلَةً؟ قَالَ رَجُلٌ يَجِيءُ بَعْدَمَا يَدْخُلُ يَعْنِي أَهْلَ الْجَنَّةِ الْجَنَّةَ فَيُقَالُ ادْخُلِ الْجَنَّةَ فَيَقُولُ كَيْفَ أَدْخَلُ الْجَنَّةَ وَقَدْ نَزَلَ النَّاسُ مَنَازِلَهُمْ وَأَخَذُوا أَخَذَاتِهِمْ؟ فَيَقُولُ لَهُ أَتَرْضَى أَنْ يَكُونَ لَكَ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ مِثْلُ مَا كَانَ لِمَلِكٍ مِنْ مُلُوكِ الدُّنْيَا؟ فَيَقُولُ نَعَمْ أَيْ رَبِّ فَيُقَالُ لَكَ هَذَا وَمِثْلُهُ وَمِثْلُهُ وَمِثْلُهُ فَيَقُولُ أَيْ رَبِّ رَضِيتُ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ إِنَّ لَكَ هَذَا وَعَشَرَةَ أَمْثَالِهِ فَيَقُولُ أَيْ رَبِّ رَضِيتُ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ لَكَ مَعَ هَذَا مَا اشْتَهَتْ نَفْسُكَ وَلَذَّتْ عَيْنُكَ وَسَأَلَ رَبَّهُ أَيُّ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ أَرْفَعُ مَنْزِلَةً؟ قَالَ سَأُحَدِّثُكَ عَنْهُمْ غَرَسْتُ كَرَامَتَهُمْ بِيَدِي وَخَتَمْتُ عَلَيْهَا فَلَا عَيْنٌ رَأَتْ وَلَا أُذُنٌ سَمِعَتْ وَلَا خَطَرَ عَلَى قَلْبِ بَشَرٍ وَمِصْدَاقُ ذَلِكَ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى {فَلَا تَعْلَمُ نَفْسٌ مَا أُخْفِيَ لَهُمْ مِنْ قُرَّةِ أَعْيُنٍ} » الْآيَةَ  

[Machine] From the Messenger of Allah ﷺ who said, "The lowest rank in Paradise is for a person who has eighty thousand servants, seventy-two wives, and is given a dome made of pearls, zabarjad (a green gem), and yaqoot (a red gem) that extends from Jabiya to Sana'a."  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ «إِنَّ أَدْنَى أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ مَنْزِلَةً الَّذِي لَهُ ثَمَانُونَ أَلْفَ خَادِمٍ وَاثْنَانِ وَسَبْعُونَ زَوْجًا وَيُنْصَبُ لَهُ قُبَّةٌ مِنْ لُؤْلُؤٍ وَزَبَرْجَدٍ وَيَاقُوتٍ كَمَا بَيْنَ الْجَابِيَةِ إِلَى صَنْعَاءَ  

"While he was on the Minbar, I heard Al-Mughirah bin Shu'bah saying - and he attributed it to the Prophet ﷺ - 'Indeed Musa [peace be upon him] asked his Lord: "O Lord! Who is the lowest in rank among the people of Paradise?" He said: "A man who comes after the people of Paradise have been admitted to Paradise, and he is told to enter. He says: 'How can I enter when they have gotten all of their abodes, and all that is to be had?'" He said: "So it is said to him: 'Would you accept if you were to have what a king in the world?' He says: 'Yes, O Lord! I accept.' So it is said to him: 'Then for you is this and its like, and its like again, and its like again.' So he says: 'I accept, O Lord!' So it is said to him: 'Then for you is this and ten the like thereof.' So he says: 'I accept, O Lord!' So it is said: 'Indeed you shall have this, and whatever your soul desires, and whatever delights your eyes.'" (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3198)   

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ «أَنَّ مُوسَى قَالَ رَبِّ أَيُّ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ أَدْنَى مَنْزِلَةً؟ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يَجِيءُ بَعْدَمَا يَدْخُلُ أَهْلُ الْجَنَّةِ فَيُقَالُ ادْخُلِ الْجَنَّةَ فَيَقُولُ كَيْفَ أَدْخُلُ وَقَدْ نَزَلَ النَّاسُ مَنَازِلَهُمْ وَأَخَذُوا أَخَذَاتِهِمْ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ تَرْضَى أَنْ يَكُونَ لَكَ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ مِثْلَ مَا كَانَ لِمَلِكٍ مِنْ مُلُوكِ الدُّنْيَا قَالَ فَيَقُولُ نَعَمْ أَيْ رَبِّ فَيُقَالُ لَكَ هَذَا وَمِثْلُهُ وَمِثْلُهُ وَمِثْلُهُ فَيَقُولُ أَيْ رَبِّ رَضِيتُ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ إِنَّ لَكَ هَذَا وَعَشَرَةَ أَمْثَالِهِ مَعَهُ فَيَقُولُ أَيْ رَبِّ رَضِيتُ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ لَكَ مَعَ هَذَا مَا اشْتَهَتْ نَفْسُكَ وَلَذَّتْ عَيْنُكَ»  

[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ who said, "Indeed, I know the last person to come out of the Fire. It will be a man who crawls out and he will be told to enter Paradise, so he will enter, then he will come out and say, 'O Lord, everyone has taken their place in the ranks.' It will be said to him, 'Do you remember the time you were in the world?' He will say yes. Then he will be told, 'Wish for something.' So he will wish and it will be said to him, 'You will have something like it, and ten times as much.' He will be the lowest in status among the people of Paradise."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنِّي لَأَعْرِفُ آخِرَ رَجُلٍ خُرُوجًا مِنَ النَّارِ رَجُلٌ خَرَجَ زَحْفًا فَقِيلَ لَهُ ادْخُلِ الْجَنَّةَ فَيَدْخُلُ ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُ فَيَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ قَدْ أَخَذَ النَّاسُ الْمَنَازِلَ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ أَتَذْكُرُ الزَّمَانَ الَّذِي كُنْتَ فِيهِ فِي الدُّنْيَا فَيَقُولُ نَعَمْ فَيَقُولُ تَمَنَّهْ فَيَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ تَنَافَسَ أَهْلُ الدُّنْيَا فِي دُنْيَاهُمْ وَتَضَايَقُوا فِيهَا فَأَنَا أَسْأَلُكَ مِثْلَهَا فَيَقُولُ لَكَ مِثْلَهَا وَعَشَرَةَ أَضْعَافِ ذَلِكَ فَهُوَ أَدْنَى أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ مَنْزِلًا»  

[Machine] On the authority of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ who said: "The last person to enter Paradise will be a man walking on the Sirat (bridge to Paradise). He will stumble once and the fire will scorch him. Every time he passes by it, he will turn to it and say, 'Blessed is the One who saved me from you. By Allah, no one has been given anything like what I have been given among all the worlds.’ Then, a tree will be raised for him, and he will say, 'O Lord, draw me closer to it so that I may take shelter in its shade and drink from its water.’ Allah will say, 'O son of Adam, if I give you that, you will ask Me for something else.’ But the man will swear that he will not ask for anything else, even though he knows that he will. Then, Allah will bring him close to it, and he will take shelter in its shade and drink from its water. Then, another tree will be raised for him, which is even better than the first. He will say, 'O Lord, draw me closer to it so that I may take shelter in its shade and drink from its water.’ Allah will say, 'O son of Adam, if I give you that, you will ask Me for something else.’ But the man will swear that he will not ask for anything else, even though he knows that he will. Then, Allah will bring him close to it, and he will take shelter in its shade and drink from its water. Then, a third tree will be raised for him at the gate of Paradise, which is even better than the first two. He will say, 'O Lord, draw me closer to it so that I may take shelter in its shade and drink from its water.’ Allah will say, 'O son of Adam, if I give you that, you will ask Me for something else.’ But the man will swear that he will not ask for anything else, even though he knows that he will. Then, Allah will bring him close to it, and he will hear the voices of the people of Paradise. He will say, 'O Lord, admit me to Paradise.’ Allah will say, 'O son of Adam, what will make you content with Me and My favor? Would it please you if I give you the entire world and as much again?’ The man will reply, 'Are You making fun of me while You are the Lord of all creation?’ I said, 'Would you not like Me to give you that and as much again?’ The man will say, 'O Lord, I am not making fun of You, but I am asking You for something else.’ The Prophet ﷺ then smiled so broadly that his molars could be seen and he said, 'Do you not wonder at what made me laugh? They asked, 'O Prophet of Allah! What made you laugh?’ He said, 'I laughed because the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said the same as I have said (i.e., the man said the same as I said when he entered Paradise).' "  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ آخِرَ مَنْ يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ رَجُلٌ يُمْشِي عَلَى الصِّرَاطِ فَهُوَ يَكْبُو مَرَّةً وَتَسْفَعُهُ النَّارُ أُخْرَى حَتَّى إِذَا جَاوَزَهَا الْتَفَتَ إِلَيْهَا فَيَقُولُ تَبَارَكَ الَّذِي نَجَّانِي مِنْهَا فَوَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ أَعْطَانِي شَيْئًا مَا أَعْطَاهُ أَحَدًا مِنَ الْعَالَمِينَ قَالَ ثُمَّ تُرْفَعُ لَهُ شَجَرَةٌ فَيَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ أَدْنِنِي مِنْهَا لَعَلِّي أَسْتَظِلُّ بِظِلِّهَا وَأَشْرَبُ مِنْ مَائِهَا قَالَ فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ لَعَلِّي إِنْ أَعْطَيْتُكَهُ سَأَلْتَنِي غَيْرَهَا فَيَقُولُ لَا يَا رَبِّ وَيُعَاهِدُهُ أَنْ لَا يَفْعَلَ وَهُوَ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ فَاعِلُهُ لِمَا يَرَى مِمَّا لَا صَبَرَ لَهُ عَلَيْهِ فَيُدْنِيهِ مِنْهَا فَيَسْتَظِلُّ بِظِلِّهَا وَيَشْرَبُ مِنْ مَائِهَا ثُمَّ تُرْفَعُ لَهُ شَجَرَةٌ أُخْرَى هِيَ أَحْسَنُ مِنَ الْأُولَى فَيَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ أَدْنِنِي مِنْهَا لِأَسْتَظِلَّ بِظِلِّهَا وَأَشْرَبَ مِنْ مَائِهَا فَيَقُولُ أَلَمْ تُعَاهِدْنِي أَنْ لَا تَسْأَلَنِي غَيْرَهَا؟ فَيَقُولُ بَلَى يَا رَبِّ وَلَكِنْ أَدْنِنِي مِنْهَا لِأَسْتَظِلَّ بِظِلِّهَا وَأَشْرَبَ مِنْ مَائِهَا فَيُعَاهِدُهُ أَنْ لَا يَسْأَلَهُ غَيْرَهَا فَيُدْنِيهِ مِنْهَا وَيَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ سَيَسْأَلُهُ غَيْرَهَا لِمَا يَرَى مَا لَا صَبَرَ لَهُ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ فَتُرْفَعُ لَهُ شَجَرَةٌ أُخْرَى عِنْدَ بَابِ الْجَنَّةِ هِيَ أَحْسَنُ مِنَ الْأُولَيَيْنِ فَيَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ أَدْنِنِي مِنْهَا لِأَسْتَظِلَّ بِظِلِّهَا وَأَشْرَبَ مِنْ مَائِهَا فَيَقُولُ أَلَمْ تُعَاهِدْنِي أَنْ لَا تَسْأَلَنِي غَيْرَهَا فَيَقُولُ بَلَى يَا رَبِّ وَلَكِنْ أَدْنِنِي مِنْهَا فَإِذَا دَنَا مِنْهَا سَمِعَ أَصْوَاتَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ فَيَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ أَدْخِلْنِي الْجَنَّةَ فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ جَلَّ وَعَلَا أَيُرْضِيكَ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ أَنْ أُعْطِيكَ الدُّنْيَا وَمِثْلَهَا مَعَهَا فَيَقُولُ أَتَسْتَهْزِئُ بِي وَأَنْتَ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ؟ فَيَقُولُ مَا أَسْتَهْزِئُ بِكَ وَلَكِنَّنِي عَلَى مَا أَشَاءُ قَادِرٌ» قَالَ فَكَانَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ إِذَا ذَكَرَ قَوْلَهُ «أَتَسْتَهْزِئُ بِي؟ » ضَحِكَ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَلَا تَسْأَلُونِي مِمَّا أَضْحَكُ؟ فَقِيلَ مِمَّ تَضْحَكُ؟ فَقَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا ذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ ضَحِكَ «  

"I know the last of the people of the Fire to depart from it. A man will exit it crawling, and he will say: 'O Lord! The people have taken all the places.'" He said: "So it will be said to him: 'Go to Paradise to enter Paradise.' So he will go to enter, but he will see that the people have taken all the places. He will return and say: 'O Lord! The people have taken all of the places.' So it will be said to him: 'Do you remember the times you used to live in?' And he will say: 'Yes.' So it will be said to him: 'Wish, He will wish for something, and it will be said to him: 'For you is whatever you wished for, and ten times the world.' He will say: 'Do you mock me while you are the King?'" He (Ibn Masud) said: "I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ laugh until his molars were visible." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2595)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنِّي لَأَعْرِفُ آخِرَ أَهْلِ النَّارِ خُرُوجًا مِنَ النَّارِ رَجُلٌ يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا زَحْفًا فَيُقَالُ لَهُ انْطَلِقْ فَادْخُلِ الْجَنَّةَ قَالَ فَيَذْهَبُ فَيَدْخُلُ فَيَجِدُ النَّاسَ قَدِ أَخَذُوا الْمَنَازِلَ قَالَ فَيَرْجِعُ فَيَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ قَدْ أَخَذَ النَّاسُ الْمَنَازِلَ قَالَ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ أَتَذْكُرُ الزَّمَانَ الَّذِي كُنْتَ فِيهِ فِي الدُّنْيَا قَالَ فَيَقُولُ نَعَمْ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ تَمَنَّ فَيَتَمَنَّى فَيُقَالُ لَهُ لَكَ الَّذِي تَمَنَّيْتَ وَعَشَرَةَ أَضْعَافِ الدُّنْيَا قَالَ فَيَقُولُ أَتَسْخَرُ بِي وَأَنْتَ الْمَلِكُ» قَالَ فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ ضَحِكَ حَتَّى بَدَتْ نَوَاجِذُهُ «  

“I know the last of the people of Hell who will be brought forth from it, and the last of the people of Paradise to be admitted to Paradise. (It is) a man who will emerge from Hell crawling, and it will be said to him: ‘Go and enter Paradise.’ He will come to it and it will be made to appear to him as if it is full.’ Allah will say: ‘Go and enter Paradise.’ He will come to it and it will appear to him as if it is full. So he will say: ‘O Lord, I found it full.’ Allah will say: ‘Go and enter Paradise.’ He will come to it and it will be made to appear to him as if it is full. So he will say: ‘O Lord, I found it full.’ Allah will say: ‘Go and enter Paradise, for you will have the like of the world and ten times more, or you will have ten times the like of the world.’ He will say: ‘Are You mocking me, or are You laughing at me, when You are the Sovereign?’” He said: "And I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ smiling so broadly that his molar teeth could be seen." And he used to say: "This is the lowest of the people of Paradise in status." (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4339)   

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ «لَأَعْلَمُ آخِرَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ خُرُوجًا مِنَ النَّارِ وَآخِرَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ دُخُولًا الْجَنَّةَ رَجُلٌ يَخْرُجُ مِنَ النَّارِ حَبْوًا فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ لَهُ اذْهَبْ فَادْخُلِ الْجَنَّةَ فَيَأْتِيهَا فَيُخَيَّلُ إِلَيْهِ أَنَّهَا مَلْأَى فَيَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ قَدْ وَجَدْتُهَا مَلْأَى فَيَقُولُ لَهُ اذْهَبْ فَارْجِعْ فَادْخُلِ الْجَنَّةَ فَيَأْتِيهَا فَيُخَيَّلُ إِلَيْهِ أَنَّهَا مَلْأَى فَيَرْجِعُ إِلَيْهِ فَيَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ قَدْ وَجَدْتُهَا مَلْأَى فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ لَهُ اذْهَبْ فَادْخُلِ الْجَنَّةَ فَإِنَّ لَكَ مِثْلَ الدُّنْيَا وَعَشَرَةَ أَمْثَالِ الدُّنْيَا فَيَقُولُ أَتَسْخَرُ بِي أَوْ تَضْحَكُ بِي وَأَنْتَ الْمَلِكُ؟ قَالَ فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ ضَحِكَ حَتَّى بَدَتْ نَوَاجِذُهُ» قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ وَكَانَ يُقَالُ «إِنَّ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلَ أَدْنَى أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ مَنْزِلَةً»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "The last person to enter Paradise will walk on the bridge and will walk one step and then kneel. The fire will surround him, and when he surpasses it, he will turn towards it and say, 'Blessed is He who saved me from you. He has given me something that He has not given to anyone among the earlier and later people.' A tree will be raised for him, and he will say, 'O Lord, bring me closer to this tree so that I may take shade under its shade and drink from its water.' Allah will say, 'O son of Adam, did you not make a covenant with Me that you would not ask Me for anything other than this?' He will say, 'Yes, my Lord, but I will not ask You for anything other than this.' Allah will excuse him because He will see something that he cannot bear, and he will say, 'O Lord, bring me closer to it so that I may take shade under its shade and drink from its water.' Then a tree will be raised for him at the gate of Paradise, which is better than the first one. He will say, 'O Lord, bring me closer to this tree so that I may take shade under its shade and drink from its water.' Allah will say, 'O son of Adam, did you not make a covenant with Me that you would not ask Me for anything other than this?' He will say, 'Yes, my Lord, but I will not ask You for anything other than this.' Allah will excuse him because He will see something that he cannot bear, and He will bring him closer to it. He will then hear the voices of the people of Paradise, and he will say, 'O Lord, admit me to it.' Allah will say, 'O son of Adam, would it please you if I were to give you the entire world and a similar world along with it?' He will say, 'Are You making fun of me, though You are the Lord of all the worlds?' The Messenger of Allah laughed and then said, 'Do you not ask me why I laughed?' The person asked, 'Why did you laugh, O Messenger of Allah?' He said, 'I laughed at the laughter of the Lord of the worlds when He said, 'Do you make fun of Me, though You are the Lord of all the worlds?' He said, 'No, I am not making fun of you, but I can do whatever I will.'"  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ آخِرُ مَنْ يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ يَمْشِي عَلَى الصِّرَاطِ وَهُوَ يَمْشِي مَرَّةً وَيَكْبُو مَرَّةً وَتَسْفَعُهُ النَّارُ فَإِذَا جَاوَزَهَا الْتَفَتَ إِلَيْهَا قَالَ تَبَارَكَ الَّذِي نَجَّانِي مِنْكِ أَعْطَانِي شَيْئًا مَا أَعْطَاهُ أَحَدًا مِنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَالْآخِرِينَ وَتُرْفَعُ لَهُ شَجَرَةٌ فَيَقُولُ أَيْ رَبِّ أَدْنِنِي مِنْ هَذِهِ الشَّجَرَةِ فَلِأَسْتَظِلَّ بِظِلِّهَا وَأَشْرَبَ مِنْ مَائِهَا فَيَقُولُ اللهُ ﷻ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ لَعَلِّي إِنْ أَعْطَيْتُكَهَا تَسْأَلُنِي غَيْرَهَا فَيُدْنِيهِ مِنْهَا وَرَبُّهُ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ سَيَفْعَلُ فَيَسْتَظِلُّ بِظِلِّهَا وَيَشْرَبُ مِنْ مَائِهَا ثُمَّ تُرْفَعُ لَهُ شَجَرَةٌ أُخْرَى هِيَ أَحْسَنُ مِنَ الْأُولَى فَيَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ أَدْنِنِي مِنْهَا فَلِأَسْتَظِلَّ بِظِلِّهَا وَأَشْرَبَ مِنْ مَائِهَا وَلَا أَسْأَلُكَ غَيْرَهَا وَرَبُّهُ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ سَيَفْعَلُ؛ لِأَنَّهُ يَرَى مَا لَا صَبْرَ عَلَيْهِ فَيَقُولُ اللهُ ﷻ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ أَلَمْ تُعَاهِدْنِي أَنْ لَا تَسْأَلَنِي غَيْرَهَا فَيَقُولُ بَلَى يَا رَبِّ وَلَكِنْ هَذِهِ لَا أَسْأَلُكَ غَيْرَهَا وَرَبُّهُ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ سَيَفْعَلُ وَهُوَ يَعْذِرُهُ؛ لِأَنَّهُ يَرَى مَا لَا صَبْرَ لَهُ عَلَيْهِ فَيَقُولُ اللهُ ﷻ لَعَلِّي إِنْ أَدْنَيْتُكَ مِنْهَا سَأَلْتَنِي غَيْرَهَا فَيُعَاهِدُهُ أَنْ لَا يَفْعَلَ فَيُدْنِيهِ مِنْهَا فَيَسْتَظِلُّ بِظِلِّهَا وَيَشْرَبُ مِنْ مَائِهَا ثُمَّ تُرْفَعُ لَهُ شَجَرَةٌ عِنْدَ بَابِ الْجَنَّةِ هِيَ أَحْسَنُ مِنَ الْأُولَيَيْنِ فَيَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ أَدْنِنِي مِنْ هَذِهِ أَسْتَظِلُّ بِظِلِّهَا وَأَشْرَبُ مِنْ مَائِهَا فَيَقُولُ اللهُ جَلَّ ذِكْرُهُ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ أَلَمْ تُعَاهِدْنِي أَنْ لَا تَسْأَلَنِي غَيْرَهَا؟ فَيَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ هَذِهِ لَا أَسْأَلُكَ غَيْرَهَا فَيَقُولُ لَعَلِّي إِنْ أَدْنَيْتُكَ مِنْهَا أَنْ تَسْأَلَنِي غَيْرَهَا فَيُعَاهِدُهُ أَنْ لَا يَفْعَلَ وَرَبُّهُ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ سَيَفْعَلُ وَرَبُّهُ يَعْذِرُهُ؛ لِأَنَّهُ يَرَى مَا لَا صَبْرَ لَهُ عَلَيْهِ فَيُدْنِيهِ مِنْهَا فَيَسْمَعُ أَصْوَاتَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ فَيَقُولَ أَيْ رَبِّ أَدْخِلْنِيهَا فَيَقُولُ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ أَتَرْضَى أَنْ أُعْطِيَكَ الدُّنْيَا وَمِثْلَهَا مَعَهَا؟ فَيَقُولُ أَتَسْتَهْزِئُ بِي وَأَنْتَ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ؟ فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَلَا تَسْأَلُونِي مِمَّ ضَحِكْتُ» قَالَ مِمَّ ضَحِكْتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ مِنْ ضَحِكِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى حَيْثُ قَالَ أَتَسْتَهْزِئُ بِي وَأَنْتَ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ؟ فَيَقُولُ «لَا إِنِّي لَا أَسْتَهْزِئُ وَلَكِنْي عَلَى مَا أَشَاءُ قَدْيرٌ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The last person to exit the Fire and enter Paradise is a man who will be pushed into Paradise. He will think that it is already full, so he will say, 'O Allah! It is already full!' It will be said to him, 'Enter, for you have ten times the world or ten times what the world contains.' He will say, 'Are You laughing at me though You are the King?' Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ laughed until his molars became visible."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ آخِرَ مَنْ يَخْرُجُ مِنَ النَّارِ وَيَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ رَجُلٌ يَحْبُو فَيُقَالُ لَهُ ادْخُلِ الْجَنَّةَ فَيُخَيَّلُ إِلَيْهِ أَنَّهَا مَلْأَى فَيَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ إِنَّهَا مَلْأَى فَيُقَالُ لَهُ ادْخُلْ إِنَّ لَكَ عَشَرَةَ أَمْثَالِ الدُّنْيَا أَوْ مِثْلَ الدُّنْيَا عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ فَيَقُولُ أَنْتَ الْمَلِكُ أَتَضْحَكُ بِي؟ فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى بَدَتْ نَوَاجِذُهُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Have you not seen the last person to enter Paradise and the last person to exit Hell? A man who has been touched by the flames of Hell will pass by his Lord and say, 'O Lord, take me out of this fire and put me under the shade of a tree.' When his soul leaves his body, he will look at the tree of Paradise and say, 'O Lord, let me enter Paradise.' But there will be no deeds for him to rise with, so he will depart, crawling until he reaches them. However, he will not find a place for himself there and will return to his Lord, saying, 'O Lord, I did not find a place for myself there.' The Lord will say, 'Go, for you have the equivalent of the whole world and ten times its size.' The man will say, 'Are you making fun of me when You are my Lord?' At this, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ laughed until his molars and incisors appeared."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَرَأَيْتَ آخِرَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ دُخُولًا وَآخِرَ أَهْلِ النَّارِ خُرُوجًا رَجُلٌ قَدْ لَاحَتْهُ النَّارُ فَمَرَّ بِهِ رَبُّهُ فَقَالَ يَا رَبِّ أَخْرِجْنِي مِنْ هَذِهِ النَّارِ إِلَى ظِلِّ شَجَرَةٍ فَلَمَّا أَصَابَ الرَّوْحَ نَظَرَ إِلَى شَجَرَةِ الْجَنَّةِ قَالَ يَا رَبِّ فَخَرَجَ لَيْسَ لَهُ مِنَ الْعَمَلِ مَا يَنْهَضُ بِهِ فَخَرَجَ يَحْبُو حَتَّى أَتَاهُمْ فَلَمْ يَجِدْ لَهُ مِنْهَا مَنْزِلًا فَرَجَعَ إِلَى رَبِّهِ ﷻ فَقَالَ يَا رَبِّ إِنِّي لَمْ أَجِدْ فِيهَا مَنْزِلًا قَالَ اذْهَبْ فَإِنَّ لَكَ مِثْلَ الدُّنْيَا وَعَشَرَةَ أَمْثَالِهَا قَالَ فَذَلِكَ أَنْقَصُ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ حَظًّا قَالَ لِمَ تَهْزَأُ بِي وَأَنْتَ رَبِّي؟ قَالَ فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى بَدَتْ نَوَاجِذُهُ وَأَضْرَاسُهُ  

[Machine] Yes, he is a man who comes after people have settled in their homes and taken their rest. It is said to him, "Enter Paradise," and he says, "O Lord, how can I enter it when people have settled in their homes and taken their rest?" He said, "Are you not pleased that you have what a king has among the kings of the world?" He said, "I am pleased, my Lord." He said, "You have that and the like of that and the like of that and Sufyan (a narrator) interlocked his fingers five times and he said, 'I am pleased, my Lord.'" He said, "You have that and what your soul desires and your eyes find delight in." He said, "I am pleased, my Lord." Moses said, "O Lord, inform me about the highest rank of the people of Paradise." He said, "Those are the ones you wished for and I will inform you about them. I planted their honor with my own hands and sealed it with my own seal and no eye has seen, no ear has heard, and it has not occurred to human heart." And the confirmation of that is the statement of Allah, "No person knows what is kept hidden for them of joy as a reward for what they used to do" (Quran 32:17).  

نَعَمْ هُوَ رَجُلٌ يَجِيءُ بَعْدَمَا نَزَلَ النَّاسُ مَنَازِلَهُمْ وَأَخَذُوا أَخَذَاتِهِمْ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ ادْخُلِ الْجَنَّةَ فَيَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ وَكَيْفَ أَدْخُلُهَا وَقَدْ نَزَلَ النَّاسُ مَنَازِلَهُمْ وَأَخَذُوا أَخَذَاتِهِمْ؟ فَقَالَ أَمَا تَرْضَى أَنْ يَكُونَ لَكَ مِثْلُ مَا كَانَ لِمَلِكٍ مِنَ الْمُلُوكِ فِي الدُّنْيَا؟ فَيَقُولُ رَضِيتُ رَبِّي فَيَقُولُ إِنَّ لَكَ مِثْلَهُ وَمِثْلَهُ وَمِثْلَهُ وَعَقَدَ سُفْيَانُ أَصَابِعَهُ الْخَمْسَ فَيَقُولُ رَضِيتُ رَبِّي فَيَقُولُ إِنَّ لَكَ هَذَا وَمَا اشْتَهَتْ نَفْسُكَ وَلَذَّتْ عَيْنُكَ فَيَقُولُ رَضِيتُ رَبِّي قَالَ مُوسَى يَا رَبِّ فَأَخْبِرْنِي عَنْ أَعْلَى أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ مَنْزِلَةً قَالَ نَعَمْ أُولَئِكَ أَرَدْتَ وَسَأُخْبِرُكَ عَنْهُمْ غَرَسْتُ كَرَامَتَهُمْ بِيَدِي وَخَتَمْتُ عَلَيْهَا فَلَمْ تَرَ عَيْنٌ وَلَمْ تَسْمَعْ أُذُنٌ وَلَا يَخْطُرُ عَلَى قَلْبِ بَشَرٍ وَمِصْدَاقُ ذَلِكَ فِي كِتَابِ اللهِ {فَلَا تَعْلَمُ نَفْسٌ مَا أُخْفِيَ لَهُمْ مِنْ قُرَّةِ أَعْيَنٍ جَزَاءً بِمَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ}  

"سَأَلَ مُوسَى رَبَّهُ فقَالَ يَا رَبِّ: ما أَدْنَى أَهْل الْجَنَّةِ منزلة؟ قالَ: هُوَ رَجُلٌ يَجِئُ بَعْدمَا يدخل أَهل الْجَنَّةِ الجنَّةَ، فَيُقَالُ لَهُ: ادخل الْجنة، فيَقُولُ: أَى رب كيف وقد نَزَلَ النَّاس مَنَازِلَهُمْ وأخذوا أَخذَاتهم؟ فيقال له: أَترضى أَن يكون لك مثلُ مُلْكِ مَلِكٍ من ملوك الدنيا؟ فيقول: رَضيت رَبِّ، فيقول: لك ذلك ومثله، ومثله، ومثله، ومثله فقال الخامسة رضيت رب، فيقول: هذا لك، وعشرة أَمثاله، ولك ما اشتهت نفسك وَلَذَّت عينك، فيقول: رضيت رَبِّ قال: رَبِّ فأَعلاهم منزلة؟ قال: أُولئك الذين أَردت، غرست كرامتهم بيدى، وختمت عليها، فلم تر عَيْنٌ، ولم تسمع أُذُنٌ، ولم يَخْطُر عَلَى قَلْب بَشَرٍ".  

"آخِرُ منْ يخَرجُ منَ النارِ رجلانِ، يقولُ اللهُ ﷻ لأحدِهما: يا ابنَ آدمَ. ما أعددت لهذا اليومِ؟ هل عملتَ خيرًا قطُّ؟ هل رَجَوْتنِى؟ فيقولُ: لا يَا ربَّ فيُؤْمَرُ به إلى النارِ، فهو أشدُّ أهلِ النارِ حسرةً ويقول لِلآخرِ: يا ابْنَ آدمَ. ما أعددتَ لهذا اليوم؟ هل عمِلتَ خيرًا قطُّ ورَجوتَنى؟ فيقولُ: لا يا ربِّ إلَّا أَنَّى كُنتُ أرجوك، فَتُرْفَعُ له شجرةٌ فيقولُ: أىْ ربِّ قَرِّنِى تحتَ هذه الشَّجرةِ فأستظلَّ بظلِّها وآكلَ من ثمرِها وأشربَ من مائِها، ويُعاهدُه أن لا يسألَه غيرَ هذا، فيقرُّهُ تحتَها. ثم ترفعُ له شجرةٌ أحسنُ من الأولى وأغدقُ ماءً، فيقولُ: أي رب أقرنى تحتها لا أسألك غيرها فأستظل بظلها، وأشرب من مائها، فيقول: يا ابن آدم ألم تعاهدنى أن لا تسألنى غيرها؟ فيقول: أى رب هذه لا أسألك غيرها فيقره تحتها، ثم ترفع له شجرة عندَ بابِ الجنَّةِ هى أحسنُ من الأُولَيَيْنِ وأغدقُ ماءً، فيقولُ: أىْ ربِّ هذَّه، قَرنى تحتها فيدنيه منها، ويعاهدُه، أن لا يسألَه غيرَها، فيسمعُ أصواتَ أهل الجنةِ فلا يَتَمَالكُ. فيقولُ أىْ ربَّ أدخلنى الجنةَ، فيقولُ الله ﷻ: سَلْ وتَمنَّ؛ فيسألُ ويتمنَّى مقدارَ ثَلاثةِ أيامٍ من أيام الدنيا، ويُلَقَّنُه اللهُ ما لا عِلمَ له به، فيسألُ ويتمنَّىَ، فإذا فَرغ قال: لك ما سألتَ ومثله معَهَ".

وقال أبو هريرة: "وعشرةُ أمثالِه".  

Verily the Messenger of Allah said: The last to enter Paradise would be a man who would walk once and stumble once and be burnt by the Fire once. Then when he gets beyond it, he will turn to it and say: Blessed is He Who has saved me from thee. Allah has given me something He has not given to any one of those in earlier or later times. Then a tree would be raised up for him and he will say: O my Lord I bring me near this tree so that I may take shelter in its shade and drink of its water. Allah, the Exalted and Great, would say: O son of Adam, if I grant you this, you will ask Me for something else. He would say: No. my Lord. And he would promise Him that he would not ask for anything else. His Lord would excuse him because He sees what he cannot help desiring; so He would bring him near it, and he would take shelter in its shade and drink of its water. Afterwards a tree more beautiful than the first would be raised up before him and he would say: O my Lord! bring me near this tree in order that I may drink of its water and take shelter in its shade and I shall not ask Thee for anything else. He (Allah) would say: O son of Adam, if I bring you near it you may ask me for something else. He would promise Him that he would not ask for anything else. His Lord will excuse him because He would see something he cannot help desiring. So He would bring him near it and he would enjoy its shade and drink its water. Then a tree would be raised up for him at the gate of the Paradise, more beautiful than the first two. He would say: O my Lord! bring me near this (tree) so that I may enjoy its shade and drink from its water. I shall not ask Thee for anything else. He (Allah) would say: O son of Adam! did you not promise Me that you would not ask Me anything else? He would say: Yes, my Lord, but I shall not ask Thee for anything else. His Lord would excuse him for He sees something the temptation of which he could not resist. He (Allah) would bring him near to it, and when He would bring him near it he would hear the voices of the inhabitants of the Paradise. He would say: O my Lord! admit me to it. He (Allah) would say: O son of Adam, what will bring an end to your requests to Me? Will it please you if I give you the whole world and a like one along with it? He will say: O my Lord! art Thou mocking at me, though Thou art the Lord of the worlds? Ibn Mas'ud laughed and asked (the hearers): Why don't you ask me what I am laughing at. They (then) said: Why do you laugh? He said: It is in this way that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ laughed. They (the companions of the Holy Prophet) asked: Why do you laugh. Messenger of Allah? He said: On account of the laugh of the Lord of the universe, when he ldesirer of Paradise) sai Thou mocking at me though Thou art the Lord of the worlds? He would say: I am not mocking at you, but I have power to do whatever I will. (Using translation from Muslim 187)   

"آخِرُ مَن يدخلُ الجنةَ رجلٌ يمشى على الصِّراطِ فهو يمشى مرَّةً ويكبُو مرَّةً، وتَسْفَعُهُ النار مرَّةً، فإذا جاوزَها الْتفتَ إليها؛ فقال: تبارَك الذى نجَّانى منك: لقد أعطانى اللهُ شيئًا ما أعطاه أحدًا منَ الأوَّلينَ والآخرينَ، فتُرفعُ له شجرةٌ فيقولُ: أىْ ربّ أَدْنِنى منْ هذه الشجرةِ فَلأَسْتظِلَّ بِظِلَّها وأشربَ من مائها؟ فيقولُ الله: يا ابنَ آدمَ، لَعَلِّى إن أَعْطَيْتُكَهَا سأَلْتَنِى غيرَها؛ فيقولُ: لا يا ربَّ ويُعاهدُه أنْ لا يسألَهُ غيرَها، وربُّه يَعْذِرُهُ؛ لأنه يرى ما لا صبرَ لهُ عليه، فَيُدْنِيه منها، فيستظلُّ بظِلِّها ويشربُ من مائها، ثم تُرفعُ لَه شجرةٌ أخرى هى أحسنُ منَ الأولى، فيقولُ، أىْ ربِّ: أدْنِنِى منْ هذهَ لأِشْربَ من مائِها، وأستظلَّ بظلها، لا أسألُك غيرَها، فيقولُ: يا ابن آدمَ، أَلَم تعاهدْنى أن لا تسأَلنى غيرَها؟ (فيقول) لعلى إنْ أدْنيتك منها تسألُنى غيرَها فيعاهدُه أَنْ لا يسألَه غيرَها، وربُّه يَعْذِرُهُ؛ لأنَّه يرى ما لا صَبْرَ لهُ عليهِ؛ فَيُدْنِيهِ منها فَيَسْتَظلُّ بِظلها، وَيَشربُ من مَائِها ثم ترفعُ لُه شجرةٌ عنْدَ بَابِ الجنَّة هِى أحَسنُ منَ الأُولَيَيْنِ فيقولُ: أىْ ربِّ أدْنِنِى مِنْ هذِه فَلأَسْتَظِلَّ بِظَّلِها وأَشْرَبَ مِنْ مائِها لَا أسْأَلُك غيرَها فيقولُ: يا ابن آدمَ ألَمْ تُعَاهِدْنى أنْ لا تسألَنى غيرَها؟ قال: بلى يا رب. أدنِنىِ من هذه لا أسألُك غيرَها، وربُّه يَعْذِرُه؛ لأنه يرى ما لا صبرَ له عليهِ، فَيُدْنيه منها فإِذا أَدْناه منها سَمِعَ أصواتَ أهلِ الجنَّةِ فيقولُ: أى ربَّ أدْخِلْنِيها، فيقولُ: يا ابنَ آدمَ ما يَصْرِينىِ منكَ؟ أيُرْضيكَ أن أُعْطِيَكَ الدُّنْيَا ومِثْلَهَا مَعَهَا فيقولُ: أىْ ربَّ أتستهزئُّ مِنَّى وأنتَ ربُّ العالمين؟ فيقولُ: إنِّى لاَ أسْتَهِزْئُ منك وَلَكنَّى على مَا أشَاءُ قَادِرٌ".  

"أدنى أهل الجنة منزلةً الذى له ثمانون ألفَ خادمٍ، واثنتان وسبعون زوجةً، وتُنصب له قبةٌ من لؤلؤ وزبرجدٍ وياقوتٍ، كما بين الجابية إلى صنعاءَ. (في الصغير: وصنعاء) .  

"إِنَّ آخِرَ منْ يخْرُجُ مِن النَّارِ ويَدْخُلُ الجنَّةَ رجُلٌ يَحْبو، فَيُقَالُ لَهُ: ادْخُل الجنَّةَ، فَيُخَيَّلُ إِلَيْهِ أنَّهَا ملأى؛ فَيقُولُ: يَاربِّ إِنَّهَا ملأَى، فَيُقَالُ لَهُ ادْخُلْ: إِنَّ لَكَ عشْرةَ أمْثَالِ الدُّنْيَا؛ فَيقُولُ: أنْت الملِك. أتضْحَك بِى؟ فَذَلِكَ أَنْقَصُ أهْلِ الجنَّةِ حظًا ! ! ".  

"إِنَّ أدْنَى أَهلِ الْجنَّةِ منْزلةً -وليس فيها دنِىُّ- الَّذى يتمنَّى، فيقُولُ بِلسان طلْق ذلقٍ ، وعقْلٍ مُجتمِعٍ: أَعطِنِى كذا، (و) أَعطِنى كذا، حتَّى إِذا لم يجد شيئًا، لُقِّنَ، فِقِيل لهُ: قُلْ كَذَا، وقُلْ كَذَا فيَقالُ لَهُ: هُو لك ومِثْلُهُ مَعَهُ".  

"إِنَّ أَدْنَى أهلِ الْجنَّةِ منْزِلةَ لينْظُرُ فِى مُلكِه أَلْفى سنة: يرى أَقْصاهُ كما يرى أَدناهُ ينْظُرُ أَزْواجه، وخدمهُ وسُرُرَهُ، وإِنَّ أَفْضلهُم منْزِلةً لمنْ ينْظُرُ فِى وجهِ اللَّهِ تبارك وتعالَى كُلَّ يومٍ مرَّتينِ".  

"إِنَّ أَدْنَى أَهلِ الْجنَّة مَنْزِلَةً رجُلٌ صَرَفَ اللَّه وجههُ عن النَّارِ قِبل الجنَّةِ، ومثَّل لهُ شجرةً ذات ظِلِّ، فقال: أَىْ ربِّ، قدِّمْنِى إِلى هذه الشَّجرةِ. أَكُونُ فِى ظلِّها، فقال اللَّهُ: هل عَسَيْتَ أَنْ تَسْأَلَنى غيرَهُ، قال: لا، وعِزَّتِك، فقدَّمهُ اللَّهُ إِليها، ومثَّل لهُ شجرةً ذات ظِلٍّ وثمرٍ قال: أَىْ ربِّ، قدِّمنى إِلى هذِه الشَّجرةِ فأكون فِى ظلَّها وآكل من ثمرها فقال اللَّه له: هل عَسيت إِنّ أَعطَيتكَ ذَلِكَ أَنْ تَسألَنِى غَيرَهُ؟ فَيَقُولُ: لا، وَعِزَّتِكَ، فَيُقَدِّمُهُ اللَّهُ إِلَيها، فَيُمَثِّلُ اللَّهُ لَهُ شَجَرَةً أُخْرَى ذَاتَ ظِلِّ، وَثَمَر وَمَاءٍ، فَيَقُولُ: أَىْ رَبِّ قَدِّمنى إِلى هذِه الشَّجَرَةِ أَكونُ فِى ظلِّها، وآكُلُ مِنْ ثَمَرِها، وأَشْرَبُ مِن مائها فيقولُ له: هل عَسْيتَ إِن فعلتُ (ذلك) أَن تَسأَلَنِى غَيرهُ؟ فَيقُولُ: لَا وعِزَّتِكَ لا أَسألُكَ غيره، فَيُقَدِّمُهُ اللَّهُ إِلَيْهَا، فَيَبْرُزُ لَهُ بَابُ الْجَنَّةِ فَيَقُولُ: أَىْ ربِّ قَدِّمنِى إِلى بابِ الجنَّةِ فأَكُونَ تحتَ نِجافِ الْجنَّةِ فَأَرى أَهلَها، فَيُقَدِّمُهُ اللَّهُ إِلَيها، فَيرى الْجنَّةَ وما فِيها، فَيقُولُ: أَى ربِّ، أَدخِلْنِى الْجنَّةَ فَيُدخلُهُ إِيَّاها ، فَإِذَا دخَلَ الْجنَّةَ قَالَ: هذَا لىِ فَيقُولُ اللَّه له: تمنَّ، فَيتَمنَّى ويُذَكِّرُهُ اللَّهُ ﷻ: سَلْ مِنِّى كَذَا وكَذَا، حتَّى إِذَا انْقَطَعَتْ بِه الأَمانىُّ قَالَ اللَّهُ ﷻ: هُوَ لَكَ وعَشْرَةُ أَمثَالِهِ، ثُمَّ يدخُلُ الْجنَّةَ، فَيدخُلُ عليه زَوجتَاهُ مِنَ الْحُورِ الْعِينِ، فَيقُولانِ: الحمْدُ للَّهِ الَّذى أَحْيَاكَ لَنَا، وأَحْيَانَا لَكَ فَيقُولُ: ما أُعْطىَ أَحدٌ مِثْلَ ما أُعْطِيتُ، وأَدْنى أَهْل النَّارِ عَذَابًا يُنْعلُ مِنْ نَار بِنَعلَينِ يغْلىِ دِماغُهُ مِنْ حَرَارةِ نَعلَيه".  

"إِنَّ أدْنَى أَهلِ الْجنَّةِ منْزلَةً لَمَنْ ينْظُرُ إِلى جِنَانِه وأَزْوَاجِهِ ونَعِيمِهِ وخَدَمِهِ وسُرُرِهِ مَسِيرَةَ أَلْفِ سَنَةٍ، وأكْرَمُهُم عَلى اللَّهِ مَنْ ينْظُرُ إِلى وَجْههِ غُدْوَةً وعَشِيَّةً، ثُمَّ قرأَ: {وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ نَاضِرَةٌ} ".  

"إِنَّ أَدْنى أَهْلِ الْجَنَّة مَنْزِلَا لَرَجُلٌ لهُ دارٌ مِنْ لؤْلؤَة واحِدَة، مِنْها غُرَفُها وَأبْوَابُها ".  

"إِنِّى لأَعْلمُ آخِرَ أَهْل النَّار خُرُوجًا مِنْها، وآخِرَ أَهْل الْجَنَّةِ دخولًا الْجَنَّة، رَجُلٌ يَخْرُجُ مِن النَّار حَبْوًا، فيقولُ اللَّه له: اذهبْ فادخل: الْجَنَّة (فيأَتِيها فيُخيَّلُ إِليْهِ أَنَّها ملأى فيَرْجَعُ فيقولُ يا ربِّ وجدتُها ملأَى فيقول اللَّه له: اذهبْ فادخل الْجَنَّة) فإِنَّ لك مِثْلَ الدُّنْيا وعشْرةَ أَمثالِها فيقولُ: أَتَسْخرُ بى وَأَنْتَ الْمَلِكُ؟ " .
