عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ ((إِذَا سَأَلْتُمُ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَسَلُوهُ الْفِرْدَوْسَ فَإِنَّهُ وَسَطُ الْجَنَّةِ وَأَعْلَى الْجَنَّةِ وَفَوْقَهُ عَرْشُ الرَّحْمَنِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَمِنْهُ تَتَفَجَّرُ أَنْهَارُ الْجَنَّةِ)) شَكَّ أَبُو عَامِرٍ أَحَدُ الرُّوَاةِ
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When you ask Allah Almighty, then ask for Jannat al-Firdaws, for it is the highest and most superior part and place of Paradise. Above it is the Throne of the Most Merciful, and from it the rivers of Paradise spring forth.
