35 - Isḥāq b. Ismāʿīl narrated to us: Sufyān narrated to us, from Muṭarrif b. Ṭarīf, who said: I heard al-Shaʿbī say: I heard al-Mughīra b. Shuʿba say: Mūsā asked his Lord, saying: "O Lord, who among the people of Paradise is the lowest in rank?" He said: "He is a man who comes after the people have taken their portions and settled in their dwellings. It is said to him: 'Enter.' He says: 'O Lord, how can I enter when the people have settled in their dwellings and taken their portions?' It is said to him: 'Would it please you to have the likes of what belonged to a king?' He says: 'Yes.' He said: It is said: 'You shall have this and five times its like.' He says: 'I am pleased, O Lord, and I have triumphed.' He said: 'Then you shall have this and ten times its like.' He says: 'I am pleased.' He said: 'O Lord, then what about the highest of them in rank?' He said: 'It is you I intended, and I will inform you: I planted their honor with My own hand and placed a seal over it, so no eye has seen, no ear has heard, and it has not crossed the heart of any human.' The confirmation of that is in the Book of God, Mighty and Majestic: {And no soul knows what has been hidden for them of comfort for eyes as reward for what they used to do}."
