Allah—the Almighty and Majestic—is greater.
He said: You have come upon someone who is well-informed. I asked the Messenger of Allah—may Allah bless him and grant him peace—about it, and he said: A palace made of a single pearl in Paradise. In that palace are seventy dwellings made of red ruby. In each dwelling are seventy houses made of green emerald. In each house are seventy couches. On each couch are seventy mattresses of every color. On each mattress is a woman from the Houris (al-hur al-'ayn). In each house are seventy dining tables, and on each table are seventy types of every food. In each house are seventy male servants and female servants. The believer is granted, in every morning, the strength that enables him to encompass all of that.
10303 - My father narrated to us, Abu al-Yaman narrated to us, Safwan ibn 'Amr narrated to us from Sulaym ibn 'Amir from the Messenger of Allah—may Allah bless him and grant him peace—who said: Paradise has one hundred degrees. A degree made of silver—its soil is silver, its dwellings are silver, its vessels are silver, and its dust is musk. The second: made of gold—its soil is gold, its dwellings are gold, its vessels are gold, and its dust is musk. And the ninety-seven after that are what no eye has seen, no ear has heard, and has never occurred to the heart of any human being.
His saying, the Almighty: "In gardens of perpetual residence."
10304 - 'Amr al-Awdi narrated to us, Waki' narrated to us from Sufyan from Mansur from Abu al-Duha from Masruq from 'Abdullah, he said: "Gardens of perpetual residence (jannat 'adn)," he said: The heart of Paradise, meaning: its center.
10350 - My father narrated to us, al-Nufayli narrated to us, Muhammad ibn Salamah narrated to us from Khusayf from 'Ikrimah from Ibn 'Abbas regarding His saying: "Gardens of perpetual residence," he said: Their place of residence therein forever.
His saying, the Almighty: "And approval from Allah is greater."
10355 - Abu Zur'ah narrated to us, Yahya ibn 'Abd Allah ibn Bukayr narrated to us, 'Abd Allah ibn Lahi'ah narrated to us, 'Ata' ibn Dinar narrated to us from Sa'id ibn Jubayr regarding His saying: "And approval from Allah is greater," meaning: When they are informed that Allah is pleased with them, that is greater to them than the gifts and the salutations.
His saying, the Almighty: "That."
10307 - Abu Bakr ibn Abi Musa narrated to us, Harun ibn Hatim narrated to us, 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Hammad narrated to us, Asbat narrated to us from al-Suddi from Abu Malik regarding His saying: "That (dhalika)," meaning: This (hadha).
اللَّهِ أَكْبَرُ
قَالَ: عَلَى الْخَبِيرِ سَقَطَتْ، سَأَلْتُ عَنْهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ- صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- فَقَالَ: قَصْرٌ مِنْ لُؤْلُؤَةٍ فِي الْجَنَّةَ، فِي ذَلِكَ الْقَصْرِ سَبْعُونَ دَارًا مِنْ يَاقُوتَةٍ حَمْرَاءَ، فِي كُلِّ دَارٍ سَبْعُونَ بَيْتًا مِنْ زُمُرُّدَةٍ خَضْرَاءَ، فِي كُلِّ بَيْتٍ سَبْعُونَ سَرِيرًا، عَلَى كُلِّ سَرِيرٍ سَبْعُونَ فِرَاشًا مِنْ كُلِّ لَوْنٍ، عَلَى كُلَّ فِرَاشٍ امْرَأَةٌ مِنَ الْحُورِ الْعَيْنِ، فِي كُلِّ بَيْتٍ سَبْعُونَ مَائِدَةً فِي كُلِّ مَائِدَةٍ سَبْعُونَ لَوْنًا مِنْ كُلِّ طَعَامٍ، فِي كُلِّ بَيْتٍ سَبْعُونَ وَصَيْفًا وَوَصِيفَةً فَيُعْطَى الْمُؤْمِنُ مِنَ الْقُوَّةِ فِي كُلَّ غَدَاةٍ مَا يَأْتِي عَلَى ذَلِكَ كُلِّهِ.
١٠٣٠٣ - حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ثنا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ ثنا صَفْوَانُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو عَنْ سُلَيْمِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ- صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- قَالَ: الْجَنَّةُ مِائَةُ دَرَجَةٍ، دَرَجَةٌ منْ فِضَّةٍ أَرْضُهَا فِضَّةٌ وَمَسَاكِنُهَا فِضَّةٌ وَآنِيَتُهَا فِضَّةٌ، وَتُرَابُهَا مِسْكٌ وَالثَّانِيَةُ: مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، أَرْضُهَا ذَهَبٌ وَمَسَاكِنُهَا ذَهَبٌ، وَآنِيَتُهَا ذَهَبٌ، وَتُرَابُهَا مِسْكٌ وَسَبْعَةٍ وَتِسْعِينَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ مَا لَا عَيْنٌ رَأَتْ وَلا أَذِنٌ سَمِعَتْ وَلا خَطَرَ عَلَى قَلْبِ بِشْرٍ.
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: فِي جَنَّاتِ عَدْنٍ.
١٠٣٠٤ - حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرٌو الأَوْدِيُّ ثنا وَكِيعٌ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ أَبِي الضُّحَى عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ: جَنَّاتِ عَدْنٍ قَالَ: بُطْنَانِ الْجَنَّةِ يَعْنِي: وَسَطَهَا.
١٠٣٥٠ - حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ثنا النُّفَيْلِيُّ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ خُصَيْفٍ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ فِي قَوْلِهِ: جَنَّاتِ عَدْنٍ قَالَ: مَعْدِنُهُمْ فِيهَا أَبَدًا.
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: وَرِضْوَانٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ أَكْبَرُ.
١٠٣٥٥ - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو زُرْعَةَ ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُكَيْرٍ ثنا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ لَهِيعَةَ ثنا عَطَاءُ بْنُ دِينَارٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنُ جُبَيْرٍ فِي قَوْلِهِ: وَرِضْوَانٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ أَكْبَرُ يَعْنِي: إِذَا أُخْبِرُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَنْهُمْ رَاضٍ فَهُوَ أَكْبَرُ عِنْدَهُمْ مِنَ الْتَحَفِ وَالتَّسْلِيمِ.
قَوْلُهُ تعالى: ذَلِكَ
١٠٣٠٧ - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي مُوسَى ثنا هَارُونُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ ثنا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي حَمَّادٍ ثنا أَسْبَاطٌ عَنِ السُّدِّيِّ عَنْ أَبِي مَالِكٍ قَوْلُهُ: ذَلِكَ يَعْنِي: هَذَا.
