حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا فُلَيْحٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا هِلَالٌ . ح وحَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا فُلَيْحٌ ، عَنْ هِلَالِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، " أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَوْمًا يُحَدِّثُ وَعِنْدَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَادِيَةِ ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ اسْتَأْذَنَ رَبَّهُ فِي الزَّرْعِ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ : أَلَسْتَ فِيمَا شِئْتَ ؟ قَالَ : بَلَى ، وَلَكِنِّي أُحِبُّ أَنْ أَزْرَعَ ، قَالَ : فَبَذَرَ ، فَبَادَرَ الطَّرْفَ نَبَاتُهُ وَاسْتِوَاؤُهُ وَاسْتِحْصَادُهُ ، فَكَانَ أَمْثَالَ الْجِبَالِ ، فَيَقُولُ : اللَّهُ دُونَكَ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ ، فَإِنَّهُ لَا يُشْبِعُكَ شَيْءٌ ، فَقَالَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ : وَاللَّهِ لَا تَجِدُهُ إِلَّا قُرَشِيًّا أَوْ أَنْصَارِيًّا ، فَإِنَّهُمْ أَصْحَابُ زَرْعٍ ، وَأَمَّا نَحْنُ فَلَسْنَا بِأَصْحَابِ زَرْعٍ ، فَضَحِكَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " .
Narrated Abu Huraira: Once the Prophet was narrating (a story), while a bedouin was sitting with him. "One of the inhabitants of Paradise will ask Allah to allow him to cultivate the land. Allah will ask him, 'Are you not living in the pleasures you like?' He will say, 'Yes, but I like to cultivate the land.' " The Prophet added, "When the man (will be permitted he) will sow the seeds and the plants will grow up and get ripe, ready for reaping and so on till it will be as huge as mountains within a wink. Allah will then say to him, 'O son of Adam! Take here you are, gather (the yield); nothing satisfies you.' " On that, the bedouin said, "The man must be either from Quraish (i.e. an emigrant) or an Ansari, for they are farmers, whereas we are not farmers." The Prophet smiled (at this).

Hadith Commentary:
In reality, man is indeed this greedy.
No matter how much wealth and comfort he possesses, he is not content with it.
Desiring more is inherent in his nature.
Similarly, there is fickleness of temperament, even though everything will be present in Paradise.
Yet, some people will desire farming, and Allah, the Most Pure, out of His grace, will fulfill even this wish of theirs.
As is mentioned in the cited narration.
Which, in terms of its meanings and implications, is based on realities.

Hadith Commentary:
Imam Bukhari rahimahullah did not establish any chapter heading for this hadith.
It is not necessary that wherever there is no heading, it should be considered a supplement to the previous heading; rather, sometimes Imam Bukhari rahimahullah intends that you yourself establish a heading for it, because it is indeed related to the subject.
In reality, Imam Bukhari wishes to draw attention to the virtue of agriculture, that it is such a commendable thing that even in Paradise, one may desire it and it can be put into practice.
It is a separate matter that in Paradise, there will be no delay in obtaining the results of cultivation; rather, as soon as one looks, the crop will be ready and fit for harvesting, and then, by itself, a heap of grain will be formed.

Hadith Commentary:
➊
From this hadith it is understood that a person becomes so accustomed to the deeds he performs in this world,
that at times he will even desire to do them in Paradise.
Even though, in Paradise, there will be neither any need for such desires nor any benefit in them.
Nevertheless, Allah Ta’ala will honor the wishes of the inhabitants of Paradise.
The statement of Allah Ta’ala is:
“Therein (in Paradise)
you will have whatever your hearts desire, and therein you will have whatever you ask for.” ( Ham as-Sajdah: 41)
➋
Imam Bukhari rahimahullah has established from this hadith that Allah Ta’ala will speak to the inhabitants of Paradise, and the attribute of speech (kalam) is a sign of perfection and is related to the will (mashiyyah) of Allah Ta’ala.
He will speak whenever He wills,
and to whomever He wills.
Those who have denied this or have made far-fetched interpretations are astray from the right path.
