two banks of which there were tents made of hollow pearls. I asked, “What is this, O Gabriel?’ He
said, ‘That is the Kauthar which Your Lord has given to you.’ Behold! Its scent or its mud was sharp
smelling musk!” (The sub-narrator, Hudba is in doubt as to the correct expression. )

Volume 8, Book 76, Number 575:
Narrated ‘Abdullah:
The Prophet said, “I know the person who will be the last to come out of the (Hell) Fire, and the last
to enter Paradise. He will be a man who will come out of the (Hell) Fire crawling, and Allah will say
to him, ‘Go and enter Paradise.’ He will go to it, but he will imagine that it had been filled, and then
he will return and say, ‘O Lord, I have found it full.’ Allah will say, ‘Go and enter Paradise, and you
will have what equals the world and ten times as much (or, you will have as much as ten times the
like of the world).’ On that, the man will say, ‘Do you mock at me (or laugh at me) though You are
the King?” I saw Allah’s Apostle (while saying that) smiling that his premolar teeth became visible. It
is said that will be the lowest in degree amongst the people of Paradise.
