Abu Hurairah narrated that some people said to the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w): "O Messenger of Allah, will we see our Lord on the Day of Resurrection?" The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "Do you have to crowd together to see the moon on the night when it is full?" They said: "No, O Messenger of Allah." He said: "Do you have to crowd together to see the sun when there are no clouds in front of it?" They said: "No [O Messenger of Allah!]" He said: "Similarly you will see Him. Allah will gather all the people on the Day of Resurrection, and will say: 'Whoever used to worship anything, let him follow it.' So those who used to worship the sun will follow the sun, those who used to worship the moon will follow the moon, and those who used to worship At-Tawaghit (false gods) will follow the false gods. There will remain this Ummah, including its hypocrites. Then Allah [Blessed is He and Most High] will come to them with an appearance other than the appearance which they recognize, and He will say: 'I am your Lord.' They will say: 'We seek refuge in Allah from you. We will stay here until our Lord comes, and when our Lord comes, we will recognize Him.' Then Allah (Most High] will come to them with an appearance which they recognize, and will say: 'I am your Lord.' They will say: 'You are our Lord,' and they will follow Him. Then As-Sirat (the Bridge) will be laid across Hell, and I and my Ummah will be the first ones to cross it. On that day, no one but the Messengers will speak, and the supplication of the Messengers will be: 'O Allah, grant safety, grant safety!' In Hell there will be hooks like the thorns of As-Sa'dan; have you seen As-Sa'dan?" They said: "Yes, O Messenger of Allah!" He said: "They are like the thorns of As-Sa'dan, except that no one knows how big they are except Allah. They will snatch the people according to their deeds. Some of them will be doomed because of their deeds, and some will cross (the Bridge) and be saved. Then when Allah has finished judging between His slaves, and He wants to bring out by His Mercy whomever He wills from among the people of Hell, He will command the angels to bring out of Hell whoever did not associate anything with Allah - of those to whom Allah, the Most High, wants to show mercy - among those who said 'La ilaha illallah.' They will recognize them in the Fire, and they will recognize them by the marks of prostration - for the Fire will consume everything of the son of Adam except the marks of prostration - for Allah has forbidden the Fire to consume the marks of prostration. They will be brought out of the Fire having been completely burnt, and Al-Hayat (the water of life) will be poured over them, and they will sprout like a seed sprouts in what the flood carries. Then Allah [the Most High] will finish judging between His slaves, and there will be left one man with his face turned towards the Fire, and he will be last of the people of Paradise to enter Paradise. He will say: 'O Lord, turn my face away from the Fire, for its smell has poisoned me and its flames have burned me.' He will pray to Allah as Allah wills that he should pray, then Allah, [the Blessed and] Most High, will say: 'If I do that for you, will you ask for anything else?' He will say: 'I will not ask for anything else,' and he will make as many pledges and promises to his Lord, the Mighty and Sublime, as Allah wills. So Allah will turn his face away from the Fire, and when he turns towards Paradise and sees it, he will remain silent for as long as Allah wills that he should remain silent. Then he will say: 'O Lord, bring me closer to the gate of Paradise.' Allah will say to him: 'Did you not give your pledge and promise that you would not ask Me for anything more than that which I had given to you? Woe to you, O son of Adam, how treacherous you are!' He will say: 'O Lord,' calling upon Allah, until He says to him: 'If I do that for you, will you ask for anything else?' He will say, 'No, by Your Honor!' So he will make as many pledges and promises to his Lord as Allah wills, and Allah will bring him closer to the gate of Paradise. "When he stands at the gate of Paradise and all of Paradise lays before him, and he sees the goodness and joy that is therein, he will remain silent for as long as Allah wills that he should remain silent, then he will say: 'O Lord, admit me to Paradise!' Allah, [the Blessed and] Most High, will say: 'Did you not give your pledge and promise that you would not ask Me for anything more than that which I had given to you? Woe to you, O son of Adam, how treacherous you are!' He will say: 'O Lord, I do not want to be the most wretched of Your creation,' and he will keep praying to Allah until Allah, [the Mighty and Sublime] will laugh because of him, and when Allah laughs because of him, He will say: 'Enter Paradise.' When he enters it, Allah will say to him: 'Wish (for whatever you want).' So he will ask his Lord and wish (for whatever he wants) until Allah reminds him of such and such, and when he has finished wishing, Allah [Most High] will say: 'You will have that and as much again."' (One of the narrators) 'Ata' bin Yazid said: "Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri was with Abu Hurairah, and he did not rebuke him in his narration for anything, until when Abu Hurairah narrated: 'Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, will say to that man: "You will have that and as much again."' Abu Sa'eed said: 'And ten times as much: O Abu Hurairah!' Abu Hurairah said: 'All I remember is that he said: 'You will have that and as much again.' Abu Sa'eed said: 'I bear witness that I remember that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "You will have that and ten times as much." Abu Hurairah said: "That man will be the last of the people of Paradise to enter Paradise."

Hammam bin Munabbih said: "This is what Abu Hurairah narrated from the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w)," and he quoted a Hadith, among which he said: "And the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'It will be said to the least among you in Paradise: 'Wish (for whatever you want),' and he will wish and wish, then it will be said to him: 'Have you finished wishing?' He will say: 'Yes.' It will be said: 'You will have what you wished for and as much again.'"

و حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنْ هَمَّامِ بْنِ مُنَبِّهٍ قَالَ هَذَا مَا حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَكَرَ أَحَادِيثَ مِنْهَا وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ أَدْنَى مَقْعَدِ أَحَدِكُمْ مِنْ الْجَنَّةِ أَنْ يَقُولَ لَهُ تَمَنَّ فَيَتَمَنَّى وَيَتَمَنَّى فَيَقُولُ لَهُ هَلْ تَمَنَّيْتَ فَيَقُولُ نَعَمْ فَيَقُولُ لَهُ فَإِنَّ لَكَ مَا تَمَنَّيْتَ وَمِثْلَهُ مَعَهُ.

It was narrated from Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri that some people at the time of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "O Messenger of Allah, will we see our Lord on the Day of Resurrection?" The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "Yes.'' He said: "Do you have to crowd together to see the sun clearly at noon when there are no clouds? Do you have to crowd together to see the moon clearly on the night when it is full when there are no clouds?" They said: "No, O Messenger of Allah." He said: "You will not have to crowd together to use Allah. [Blessed and Most High] on the Day of Resurrection just as you do not have to crowed together to see either of them. On the day of Resurrection, a caller will announce: 'Let every nation follow that which it used to worship,' and there will be no one left of those who used to worship anything other than Allah [Glorious is He], such as idols and stones, but they will fall into the Fire, until there will be no one left but those who used to worship Allah, righteous and evildoers alike, and the remnants of the people of the Book. "The Jews will be called and it will be said to them: 'What did you worship?' They will say: 'We used to worship 'Uzair the son of Allah.' It will be said to them: 'You are liars, for Allah has no wife nor son. What do you want?' They will say: 'We are thirsty, O Lord, give us to drink.' It will be pointed out to them: 'Why don't you go there?' And they will be gathered into the Fire, as if it is a mirage, parts of it consuming other parts, and they will fall into the Fire. Then the Christians will be called, and it will be said to them: 'What did you worship?' They will say: 'We used to worship the Messiah, the son of Allah.' It will be said to them: 'You are liars, for Allah has no wife nor son. What do you want?' They will say: 'We are thirsty, O Lord, give us to drink.' It will be pointed out to them: 'Why don't you go there?' And they will be gathered into the Fire, as if it is a mirage, parts of it consuming other parts, and they will fall into the Fire. Then, when there is no one left but those who used to worship Allah, both righteous and evildoers, the Lord of the Worlds [Glorious is He and Most High] will come to them with an appearance that is least to that which they know from before, and will say: 'What are you waiting for? Every nation has followed that which they used to worship.' They will say: 'O Lord, we kept ourselves away from the people in the world even though we were in great need of them, and we did not keep company with them.' He will say, 'I am your Lord.' They will say: 'We seek refuge with Allah from you, we do not associate anything with Allah,' (they will repeat this) two or three times. Then some of them will be on the verge of failing the test. He will say: 'Is there any sign between Him and you by which you will recognize Him?' They will say: 'Yes.' Then the Shin will be laid bare and there will be no one who prostrated to Allah of his own accord but Allah will grant him permission to prostrate, and there will be no one who prostrated out of fear of the people and to show off, but Allah will make his back unyeilding, and every time he tries to prostrate, he will fall on his back. Then they will raise their heads and He will have changed into the appearance that they knew from before. He will say: 'I am your Lord,' and they will say: 'You are our Lord.' Then Al-Jisr (the Bridge) will be set up over Hell, and intercession will be permitted. They will say: 'O Allah, grant safety, grant safety!'" It was said: "O Messenger of Allah, what is Al-Jisr (the Bridge)?" He said: "A slippery place, in which there are hooks and spikes and thorns. In Najd there are thorns called As-Sa'dan. The believers will cross (the Bridge) like the blink of an eye, like lightning, like the wind, like birds and like the swiftest horses and camels. Some will cross safe and sound, some will be scratched then let go, and some will be piled up in the Fire of Hell, until the believers have been saved from the Fire. By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, none of you is more eager to claim a right than the believers will be on the Day of Resurrection when they seek help for their brethren who are in the Fire. They will say: 'Our Lord, they used to observe fasting, offer Salat (obligatory prayers) with us and perform Hajj.' It will be said to them: 'Bring out whomever you recognize,' - for their faces will be forbidden for The Fire to burn - and they will bring out many people whom the Fire had consumed halfway up their calves or up to their knees. Then they will say: 'Our Lord, there is no one left of those whom You Commanded us to bring out.' He will say: 'Go back, and whomever you find with a Dinar's weight of goodness in his heart, bring him out.' They will bring out many people, then they will say: 'Our Lord, we have not left therein any of those whom You commanded us to bring out.' Then He will say: 'Go back, and whomever you find with half a Dinar's weight of goodness in his heart, bring him out.' They will bring out many people, then they will say: 'Our Lord, we have not left therein any of those whom You commanded us to bring out.' Then He will say, 'Go back, and whomever you find with a speck of goodness in his heart, bring him out.' They will bring out many people, then they will say: 'Our Lord, we have not left any goodness therein."' Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri used to say: "If you do not believe this Hadith then recite if you wish: "Surely, Allah wrongs not even of the weight of an atom (or a small ant), but if there is any good (done), He doubles it, and gives from Him a great reward." (The Prophet (s.a.w) said:) "Allah will say: 'The angels have interceded, and Al-Mu'minun (the righteous believers) have interceded, the Prophets have interceded, and there is no one left (to intercede) but the Most Merciful of those who show mercy.' Then He will take a handful from Hell, and will bring out people who never did any good and who will have turned into charcoal. He will throw them into a river on the outskirts of Paradise that is called the River of Life (Al-Hayat), and they will emerge like seeds from that which is carried by a flood. Do you not see when they are near a stone or a tree, that which is in the sun grows yellow and green and that which is in the shade turns white?" "They said: "O Messenger of Allah, it is as if you used to tend flocks in the desert.'' He said: "They will emerge like pearls with jewels around their necks, and the people of Paradise will recognize them. These are the ones ransomed by Allah, whom Allah admitted to Paradise with no good deed that they did or sent on ahead. Then He will say: 'Enter Paradise, and whatever you see is yours.' They will say: 'Our Lord, You have given us what You have never given to anyone else in all the worlds.' He will say: 'You will have something better than that with Me.' They will say, 'O Lord, what could be better than this?' He will say, 'My good pleasure, for I will never be angry with you again.'"

It was narrated that Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri said: "We said: 'O Messenger of Allah, will we see our Lord?' The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'Do you have to crowd together to see the sun on a clear day?' We said: 'No..."' and he quoted the Hadith until the end, and it is similar to the Hadith of Hafs bin Maisarah (no. 454). After the words, "with no good deed that they did or sent on ahead," he added: "It will be said to them: 'You will have what you see and the same again."' Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri said: "I heard that the Bridge is narrower than a hair and sharper than a sword." In the Hadith of Al-Laith it does not say: "They will say, 'Our Lord, You have given us what You have never given to anyone in all the worlds"' and what is after it.

قَالَ مُسْلِم قَرَأْتُ عَلَى عِيسَى بْنِ حَمَّادٍ زُغْبَةَ الْمِصْرِيِّ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ فِي الشَّفَاعَةِ وَقُلْتُ لَهُ أُحَدِّثُ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ عَنْكَ أَنَّكَ سَمِعْتَ مِنَ اللَّيْثِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ قُلْتُ لِعِيسَى بْنِ حَمَّادٍ أَخْبَرَكُمُ اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي هِلَالٍ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ أَنَّهُ قَالَ قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَنَرَى رَبَّنَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ هَلْ تُضَارُّونَ فِي رُؤْيَةِ الشَّمْسِ إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمٌ صَحْوٌ قُلْنَا لَا وَسُقْتُ الْحَدِيثَ حَتَّى انْقَضَى آخِرُهُ وَهُوَ نَحْوُ حَدِيثِ حَفْصِ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ وَزَادَ بَعْدَ قَوْلِهِ بِغَيْرِ عَمَلٍ عَمِلُوهُ وَلَا قَدَمٍ قَدَّمُوهُ فَيُقَالُ لَهُمْ لَكُمْ مَا رَأَيْتُمْ وَمِثْلُهُ مَعَهُ. قَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّ الْجِسْرَ أَدَقُّ مِنْ الشَّعْرَةِ وَأَحَدُّ مِنْ السَّيْفِ وَلَيْسَ فِي حَدِيثِ اللَّيْثِ فَيَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَا أَعْطَيْتَنَا مَا لَمْ تُعْطِ أَحَدًا مِنْ الْعَالَمِينَ وَمَا بَعْدَهُ فَأَقَرَّ بِهِ عِيسَى بْنُ حَمَّادٍ.

It was narrated from Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "Allah will admit the people of Paradise to Paradise and He will admit whomever He wills by His mercy. And He will admit the people of the Fire to the Fire. Then He will say: 'Look, and whomever you find with a mustard-seed's weight of faith in his heart, bring him out.' They will bring out people who have been burned, like charcoal, then they will be thrown into the River of Life (Al-Hayat) - or Rain (Al-Haya), from which they will emerge like seeds sprouting at the banks of the flood. Do you not see how they emerge yellow and curved?"

و حَدَّثَنِي هَارُونُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْأَيْلِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ يَحْيَى بْنِ عُمَارَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ يُدْخِلُ اللَّهُ أَهْلَ الْجَنَّةِ الْجَنَّةَ يُدْخِلُ مَنْ يَشَاءُ بِرَحْمَتِهِ وَيُدْخِلُ أَهْلَ النَّارِ النَّارَ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ انْظُرُوا مَنْ وَجَدْتُمْ فِي قَلْبِهِ مِثْقَالَ حَبَّةٍ مِنْ خَرْدَلٍ مِنْ إِيمَانٍ فَأَخْرِجُوهُ فَيُخْرَجُونَ مِنْهَا حُمَمًا قَدْ امْتَحَشُوا فَيُلْقَوْنَ فِي نَهَرِ الْحَيَاةِ أَوْ الْحَيَا فَيَنْبُتُونَ فِيهِ كَمَا تَنْبُتُ الْحِبَّةُ إِلَى جَانِبِ السَّيْلِ أَلَمْ تَرَوْهَا كَيْفَ تَخْرُجُ صَفْرَاءَ مُلْتَوِيَةً؟

It was narrated that Abu Sa'eed said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'As for the people of the Fire who are its inhabitants, they will neither die nor live therein. But some people among you will be afflicted with the Fire because of their sins. Allah, Most High, will cause them to die a kind of death therein, then when they have turned into coal, permission will be given for intercession. They will be brought out, group after group, and spread along the rivers of Paradise. Then it will be said: 'O people of Paradise, pour water on them.' And they will sprout like seeds in what was carried by the flood." A man said: "It is as if the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) has been in the desert."

و حَدَّثَنِي نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْجَهْضَمِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْمُفَضَّلِ عَنْ أَبِي مَسْلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَمَّا أَهْلُ النَّارِ الَّذِينَ هُمْ أَهْلُهَا فَإِنَّهُمْ لَا يَمُوتُونَ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَوْنَ وَلَكِنْ نَاسٌ أَصَابَتْهُمْ النَّارُ بِذُنُوبِهِمْ أَوْ قَالَ بِخَطَايَاهُمْ فَأَمَاتَهُمْ إِمَاتَةً حَتَّى إِذَا كَانُوا فَحْمًا أُذِنَ بِالشَّفَاعَةِ فَجِيءَ بِهِمْ ضَبَائِرَ ضَبَائِرَ فَبُثُّوا عَلَى أَنْهَارِ الْجَنَّةِ ثُمَّ قِيلَ يَا أَهْلَ الْجَنَّةِ أَفِيضُوا عَلَيْهِمْ فَيَنْبُتُونَ نَبَاتَ الْحِبَّةِ تَكُونُ فِي حَمِيلِ السَّيْلِ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ الْقَوْمِ كَأَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ كَانَ بِالْبَادِيَةِ.

It was narrated that 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'I know the last of the people of the Fire to be brought out, and the last of the people of Paradise to enter therein. It will be a man who will emerge crawling from the Fire, and Allah [Blessed be He and] Most High, will say to him: 'Go and enter Paradise.' He will come to it and it will appear to him to be full. He will go back and say: 'O Lord, I found it full.' Allah [Blessed be He and] Most High, will say to him: 'Go and enter Paradise.' He will go to it and it will appear to him to be full. He will go back and say: 'O Lord, I found it full.' Allah, Most High, will say to him: 'Go and enter Paradise, and you will have the equivalent of the whole world and ten times as much.' He will say: 'Are You mocking me' - 'or laughing at me' - 'while You are the Sovereign?"' He said: "And I saw the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) laugh until his molars were visible."

It was narrated that 'Abdullah said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'I know the last of the people of the Fire to emerge from the Fire. (It will be) a man who will come out of it crawling. It will be said to him: 'Go and enter Paradise.' He will go and enter it, and he will find that the people have already occupied their places. It will be said: 'Do you remember the time when you were in (Hell)?' He will say: 'Yes.' It will be said to him: 'Wish (for whatever you want).' So he will wish, then it will be said to him: 'You will have what you wished for and ten times as much as the world.' He will say: 'Are You mocking me when You are the Sovereign?"' He said: "And I saw the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) laughing until his molars were visible."

و حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَأَبُو كُرَيْبٍ وَاللَّفْظُ لِأَبِي كُرَيْبٍ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ عَبِيدَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنِّي لَأَعْرِفُ آخِرَ أَهْلِ النَّارِ خُرُوجًا مِنْ النَّارِ رَجُلٌ يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا زَحْفًا فَيُقَالُ لَهُ انْطَلِقْ فَادْخُلْ الْجَنَّةَ قَالَ فَيَذْهَبُ فَيَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ فَيَجِدُ النَّاسَ قَدْ أَخَذُوا الْمَنَازِلَ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ أَتَذْكُرُ الزَّمَانَ الَّذِي كُنْتَ فِيهِ فَيَقُولُ نَعَمْ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ تَمَنَّ فَيَتَمَنَّى فَيُقَالُ لَهُ لَكَ الَّذِي تَمَنَّيْتَ وَعَشَرَةُ أَضْعَافِ الدُّنْيَا قَالَ فَيَقُولُ أَتَسْخَرُ بِي وَأَنْتَ الْمَلِكُ قَالَ فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ضَحِكَ حَتَّى بَدَتْ نَوَاجِذُهُ.

It was narrated from Ibn Mas'ud that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "The last one to enter Paradise will be a man who will walk once, stumble once and be burned by the Fire once. When he gets past it, he will tum to it and say: 'Blessed be the One Who has saved me from you. Allah has given me something that He has not given to the first and the last.' A tree will be raised up for him, and he will say: 'O Lord, bring me closer to this tree so that I might find shelter in its shade and drink 'of its water.' Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, will say: 'O son of Adam, perhaps if I give you that, you will ask Me for something else.' He will say: 'No, O Lord,' and he will promise that he will not ask Him for anything else, and his Lord, the Most High, will excuse him because he has seen something that he cannot help wanting. So he will be brought near to it and he will take shelter in its shade and drink of its water. Then another tree will be raised up for him that is more beautiful than the first, and he will say: 'O Lord, bring me closer to this tree so that I might drink of its water and take shelter in its shade, and I will not ask You for anything else.' He will say: 'O son of Adam, did you not promise Me that you would not ask Me for anything else?' He will say: 'Perhaps if I bring you near to it, you will ask Me for something else.' He will promise that he will not ask Him for anything else, and his Lord, the Most High, will excuse qim because he has seen something that he cannot help wanting. So he will be brought near to it and he will take shelter in its shade and drink of its water. Then another tree will be raised up for him at the gate of Paradise that is more beautiful than the first two. He will say: 'O Lord, bring me closer to this tree so that I might take shelter in its shade and drink of its water, and I will not ask You for anything else.' He will say: 'O son of Adam, did you not promise Me that you would not ask Me for anything else?' he will say: 'No, O Lord, I will not ask You for anything else.' His Lord, the Most High, will excuse him because he has seen something that he cannot help wanting. He will be brought close to it, and when he draws close to it, he will hear the voices of the people of Paradise and will say: 'O Lord, admit me therein.' He will say: 'O son of Adam, what will make you stop asking? Will it please you if I give you the world and as much again?' He will say: 'O Lord, are You making fun of me when You are the Lord of the Worlds?"' Ibn Mas'ud laughed and said: "Why don't you ask me why I am laughing? They said: "Why are you laughing?" He said: "This is how the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) laughed and they said: 'Why are you laughing, O Messenger of Allah?' He (s.a.w) said: 'Because the Lord of the Worlds will laugh when he says: "Are You making fun of me while You are the Lord of the Worlds?" and He will say: "I am not making fun of you, but I am Able to do whatever I will."'

It was narrated from Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "The lowest of the people of Paradise in status will be a man whose face Allah will turn away from the Fire and turn his face towards Paradise. He will cause a shady tree to appear to him, and he will say: 'O Lord, bring me near to this tree so that I will be in its shade."' And he quoted a Hadith similar to that of Ibn Mas'ud (no. 463), but he did not mention the words: "O son of Adam, what will make you stop asking?" ... until the end of the Hadith. And he added: "Allah, the Most High, will remind him to ask for such-and- such, and when he has finished wishing, Allah will say: 'That will be yours and ten times as much.' Then he will enter his house and his two wives from among Al-Hur Al-'Iyn will enter upon him and will say: 'Praise be to Allah Who has created you for us and created us for you.' And he will say: 'No one has been given the like of that which I have been given.'"
