310 - Aḥmad b. Ibrāhīm narrated to us, from Ibrāhīm b. ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. Mahdī, who said: Muḥammad b. Ṣāliḥ al-Ḍabbī narrated to me, saying: ʿAṭāʾ al-Sulamī said to Mālik b. Dīnār: "O Abū Yaḥyā, make us yearn." So he said to him: "O ʿAṭāʾ, in Paradise there is a maiden (ḥawrāʾ) whose beauty the people of Paradise boast about. Were it not that God, Mighty and Majestic, had decreed for the people of Paradise that they would not die, they would have all died to the last of them because of her beauty." ʿAṭāʾ remained sorrowful over Mālik's statement for forty years.
