وَعَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ”إِنَّ طَيْرَ الْجَنَّةِ كَأَمْثَالِ الْبُخْتِ تَرْعَى فِي شَجَرِ الْجَنَّةِ“ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ هَذِهِ لَطَيْرٌ نَاعِمَةٌ فَقَالَ ”أَكَلَتُهَا أَنْعَمُ مِنْهَا قَالَهَا ثَلَاثًا وَإِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ تَكُونَ مِمَّنْ يَأْكُلُ مِنْهَا يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: The birds of Paradise will be like Bactrian camels; they will fly and graze in Paradise. Sayyiduna Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, said: O Messenger of Allah! Those birds will be very excellent. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said three times: Those who eat them will be even better and more virtuous than them, and Abu Bakr! I hope that you will be among those who eat them.
