95 - Ḥamza b. al-ʿAbbās narrated to us: ʿAbd Allāh b. ʿUthmān informed us: Ibn al-Mubārak informed us: Abū Bakr al-Hudhali informed us: Abū Tamīma al-Hujaymī informed us, he said: I heard Abū Mūsā al-Ashʿarī delivering a sermon on the pulpit of Basra, saying: "God Almighty will send an angel on the Day of Resurrection to the people of Paradise, and he will say: 'O people of Paradise, has God fulfilled for you what He promised you?' So they will look and see the ornaments, the garments, the fruits, the rivers, and the purified spouses, and they will say: 'Yes, He has fulfilled for us what He promised us.' Then the angel will say: 'Has God fulfilled for you what He promised you?' three times, and they will not find anything missing from what they were promised, so they will say: 'Yes.' He will say: 'There remains something for you; indeed, God Almighty says: {For those who do good is the finest reward and an increase}. Verily, the finest reward is Paradise, and the increase is looking at His Noble Face.'"
