English

[465] 312 – (189) It was narrated that A]-Mughirah bin Shu'bah told the people from the Minbar – (one of the narrators) Sufyân said: "One of them, I think it was Ibn Abjar, attributed it to the Prophet ()" – "Müsâ, %g, asked his Lord: 'Who will be the lowest of the people of Paradise in status?' He said: 'He will be a man who will come after I have admitted the people of Paradise to Paradise, and it will be said to him: "Enter Paradise." He will say: "0 Lord, how, when the people have taken their places and have taken what they have taken?" It will be said to him: "Would it please you if you had the like of what one of the kings of the world had?" He will say: "I would be pleased, 0 Lord." He will say: "You will have that, and as much again, and as much again, and as much again, and as much again." The fifth time, he will say: "I am pleased, 0 Lord." He will say: "You will have that and ten times as much, and you will have what your heart desires, and what will delight your eyes." He will say: "I am pleased, 0 Lord.' " (Miisâ) said: 'My Lord! Who will be the highest of them in status?' He said: 'They will be the ones whom I have chosen, and I have planted their honor with My Own Hand. I have set a seal over it so that no eye has seen, no ear has heard, nor has it entered the heart of man.'" He said: "And the confirmation thereof is in the Book of Mâh, the Mighty and Sublime: "No person knows what is kept hidden for them of joy as a reward for what they used to do."'1
