202 - Muḥammad b. al-Ḥusayn narrated to us: Qabīṣa narrated to us: Qays b. Sulaym al-ʿAnbarī narrated to us, from al-Ḍaḥḥāk b. Muzāḥim, who said: "While the friend of God, Mighty and Majestic, is in his dwelling, a messenger from God, Mighty and Majestic, will come to him. He will say to the doorkeeper: 'Seek permission for the messenger of God to enter upon the friend of God.' The doorkeeper will enter and say: 'O friend of God, this is the messenger of God, Mighty and Majestic, seeking permission to enter upon you.' He will say: 'Grant him permission.' So he will grant him permission, and he will enter upon the friend of God and place a gift before him. He will say: 'O friend of God, indeed your Lord conveys greetings of peace to you and commands you to eat from this.' It will resemble food he had just eaten, so he will say: 'I have just eaten from this now.' He will say: 'Indeed your Lord commands you to eat from it.' He will then find in it the taste of every fruit in Paradise. That is His statement, Exalted is He: {And they are given things in resemblance}."
