وَعَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: مَوْضِعُ سَوْطٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَمَا فِيهَا “. مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ
He reported God’s messenger us saying, “The place occupied by a whip in paradise is better than the world and what it contains.” (Bukhari and Muslim.)
وَعَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قا ل: قيل لَهُ مَا الْمقَام الْمَحْمُود؟ قا ل: ” ذَلِكَ يَوْمَ يَنْزِلُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَلَى كُرْسِيِّهِ فَيَئِطُّ كَمَا يئطُّ الرحلُ الْجَدِيد من تضايقه بِهِ وَهُوَ كَسَعَةِ مَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَيُجَاءُ بِكُمْ حُفَاةً عُرَاةً غُرْلًا فَيَكُونُ أَوَّلُ مَنْ يُكْسَى إِبراهيم يَقُول الله تَعَالَى: أُكسوا خليلي بِرَيْطَتَيْنِ بَيْضَاوَيْنِ مِنْ رِيَاطِ الْجَنَّةِ ثُمَّ أُكْسَى عَلَى أَثَرِهِ ثُمَّ أَقُومُ عَنْ يَمِينِ اللَّهِ مقَاما يغبطني الْأَولونَ وَالْآخرُونَ ” . رَوَاهُ الدَّارمِيّ
Ibn Mas’ud told that when the Prophet was asked the meaning of the praiseworthy station[*] he replied, “That will be on the day when God will descend on to His throne and it, whose extent is as great as the distance between heaven and earth, will creak like a new pack-saddle owing to its being compressed. You will then be brought barefoot, naked and uncircumcised, and the first to be clothed will be Abraham. God most high will say, `Clothe my friend,’ and two white seamless garments of paradise will be brought. I shall then be clothed after him and shall stand in a place a t God’s right hand for which those of earliest and latest times will envy me.” *Quran, 17:97. Darimi transmitted it.
وَعَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «غَدْوَةٌ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَوْ رَوْحَةٌ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَمَا فِيهَا وَلَوْ أَنَّ امْرَأَةً مِنْ نِسَاءِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ اطَّلَعت إِلى الأَرْض لَأَضَاءَتْ مابينهما وَلَمَلَأَتْ مَا بَيْنَهُمَا رِيحًا وَلَنَصِيفُهَا عَلَى رَأْسِهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَمَا فِيهَا» . رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ
Anas reported God’s messenger as saying, “A morning or evening expedition in God’s path is better than the world and what it contains. If one of the women of paradise were to look down to the earth she would illuminate the space in between, fill the space in between with fragrance, and her scarf on her head is better than the world and what it contains.” Bukhari transmitted it.
وَعَن الْمُغيرَة بن شُعْبَة قا ل: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ شِعَارُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ عَلَى الصِّرَاطِ: رَبِّ سَلِّمْ سَلِّمْ “. رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيُّ وَقَالَ: هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيب

وَعَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِنَّ مِنْ أُمَّتِي مَنْ يَشْفَعُ لِلْقَبِيلَةِ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَشْفَعُ لِلْعُصْبَةِ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَشْفَعُ لِلرَّجُلِ حَتَّى يَدْخُلُوا الْجَنَّةَ» رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيُّ

Anas reported God’s messenger as saying, “God who is great and glorious has promised me that four hundred thousand of my people will enter paradise without being taken to account.” Abu Bakr asked God’s messenger to tell them more, and he replied that God did thus, taking up two handfuls and joining his hands together. Abu Bakr asked him to tell them more, and he did the same again. `Umar then said, “Let the matter alone, Abu Bakr,” to which Abu Bakr replied, “What harm would it do you if God were to bring us all into paradise?” `Umar said, “If God who is great and glorious wishes to bring all His creatures into paradise simultaneously, He can do so,” and the Prophet said, “`Umar has spoken the truth.” It is transmitted in Sharh as-sunna .
وَعَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ” يُصَفُّ أَهْلَ النَّارِ فَيَمُرُّ بِهِمُ الرَّجُلُ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ فَيَقُولُ الرَّجُلُ مِنْهُمْ: يَا فُلَانُ أَمَا تَعْرِفُنِي؟ أَنَا الَّذِي سَقَيْتُكَ شَرْبَةً. وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ: أَنَا الَّذِي وَهَبْتُ لَكَ وَضُوءًا فَيَشْفَعُ لَهُ فَيُدْخِلُهُ الْجَنَّةَ ” . رَوَاهُ ابْنُ مَاجَه
He reported God’s messenger as saying, “The inhabitants of hell will be drawn up in line, and when one of the inhabitants of paradise passes them one of them will say, `So and so, do you not recognise me? I am the one who gave you a drink.’ And one of them will say, `I am the one who gave you water for ablution.’ He will then intercede for him and bring him into paradise.” Ibn Majah transmitted it.
