حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ، وَيَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدَّوْرَقِيُّ، جَمِيعًا عَنِ ابْنِ عُلَيَّةَ، (وَاللَّفْظُ لِيَعْقُوبَ) قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ

قَالَ: إِمَّا تَفَاخَرُوا وَإِمَّا تَذَاكَرُوا الرِّجَالُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ أَكْثَرُ أَمِ النِّسَاءُ فَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ أَوَلَمْ يَقُلْ أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ أَوَّلَ زُمْرَةٍ تَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ عَلَى صُورَةِ الْقَمَرِ لَيْلَةَ الْبَدْرِ وَالَّتِي تَلِيهَا عَلَى أَضْوَإِ كَوْكَبٍ دُرِّيٍّ فِي السَّمَاءِ لِكُلِّ امْرِئٍ مِنْهُمْ زَوْجَتَانِ اثْنَتَانِ يُرَى مُخُّ سُوقِهِمَا مِنْ وَرَاءِ اللَّحْمِ وَمَا فِي الْجَنَّةِ أَعْزَبُ»

Some (persons) stated with a sense of pride and some discussed whether there would be more men in Paradise or more women. It was upon this that Abu Hurayrah reported that Abul Qasim (the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam)) (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: The (members) of the first group to get into Paradise would have their faces as bright as full moon during the night, and the next to this group would have their faces as bright as the shining stars in the sky, and every person would have two wives and the marrow of their shanks would glimmer beneath the flesh and there would be none without a wife in Paradise.

আবূ বাকর ইবনু আবূ শায়বাহ, যুহায়র ইবনু হারব ও আবূ সাঈদ আল আশাজ্জ (রহিমাহুমাল্লাহ) ..... আয়িশাহ্ (রাযিঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, আমি যেন রসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম এর মাথার সিঁথিতে সুগন্ধির ঔজ্জ্বল্য দেখতে পাচ্ছি, তিনি তখন তালবিয়াহ পাঠ করছিলেন।

ابو الضحی نے مسروق سے انھوں نے حضرت عائشہ رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہا سے روایت کی ، انھوں نے کہا : ایسے لگتا ہے جیسے میں رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کی مانگ میں خوشبو کی چمک دیکھ رہی ہوں اور آپ تلبیہ پکار رہے ہیں ۔

Dan Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abu Bakr bin Abu Syaibah] dan [Zuhair bin Harb] dan [Abu Sa'id Al Asyajj] mereka berkata, Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Waki'] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Al A'masy] dari [Abu Dluha] dari [Masruq] dari [Aisyah] radliallahu 'anha, ia berkata; "Aku seolah-olah masih melihat kemilau harum-haruman di kepada Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam ketika beliau sedang membaca Talbiyah."

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ahmad bin Yunus] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Zuhair] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Al A'masy] dari [Ibrahim] dari [Al Aswad] dan [Muslim] dari [Masruq] dari [Aisyah] radliallahu 'anha, ia berkata; Aku seolah-olah melihat…, yakni sebagaimana haditsnya Waki

Bize Ebû Bekir b. Ebî Şeybe ile Zuheyr b. Harb ve Ebû Saîd-i Eşecc rivayet ettiler. (Dedilerki): Bize Veki' rivayet etti.

Aişe: «Ben Resulullah (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem) telbiye getirirken saç ayrıntılarındaki kokunun pırıltısını halâ görür gibiyim.» demiş

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informed that the first group of believers to enter Paradise will have faces that shine like the full moon on its brightest night, followed by those who are as radiant as the most luminous stars in the sky. They will have attributes of perfection, as they will not urinate, defecate, spit, or blow their noses.

Their combs will be made of gold, their sweat will smell like musk, and their incense burners will emit the finest fragrances. Their spouses will be the houris, and they will be created with a unified appearance, resembling their father Adam in form and height—sixty cubits tall in stature.

What it teaches

  • Highlighting the description of the people of Paradise and how they vary therein according to their ranks and deeds.
  • Drawing comparisons to bring the meanings close and make them clear.
  • Al-Qurtubi said: It may be asked, what need do they have for combs when they are perpetually youthful and their hair never gets dirty? And what need do they have for incense when their smell is finer than musk? He said: The response is that the pleasures of the people of Paradise—such as eating, drinking, clothing, and fragrances—are not driven by the pain of hunger, thirst, nakedness, or foul odors. Rather, these are successive pleasures and continuous blessings. The wisdom behind it is that they will enjoy things similar to what they used to enjoy in this world.
