Bashīr, from ʿUmar b. al-Khaṭṭāb (may Allāh be pleased with him), that he was asked about the saying of the Almighty: "And when the souls are paired," and he said: "The righteous man will be joined with the righteous man in Paradise, and the wicked man will be joined with the wicked man in the Fire; that is the pairing of the souls."

19147 - From Ibn ʿAbbās (may Allāh be pleased with them both), he said: "A river flows from the base of the Throne of water, between the two morning lights, the distance between which is forty years. From it, every creature will grow, whether human, bird, or beast. If a passerby who had known them before that were to pass by them, he would recognize them as they grew upon the face of the earth. Then the spirits will be sent, and they will be joined with the bodies. That is the saying of Allāh: 'And when the souls are paired.'"
