Bukhari

Narrated `Abdullah bin `Umar: Allah's Apostle said, "When anyone of you dies, he will be shown his destination both in the morning and in the evening, and if he belongs to the people of Paradise, he will be shown his place in Paradise, and if he is from the people of Hell, he will be shown his place in Hell."

Abu’l-‘Aliyah said: (In Surah al-Baqarah) the word «مطهرة» means that the houris of Paradise will be pure and clean from menstruation, urine, spittle, and all impurities. And regarding the phrase «كلما رزقوا منها من ثمرة رزقا» up to the end of the verse, it means that when a fruit is brought to them and then another fruit, the people of Paradise will say, “This is the same fruit that was given to us before.” The meaning of «متشابها‏» is that they will be similar in appearance and color, but different in taste. (In Surah al-Haqqah) the word «قطوفها دانية» means that the fruits of Paradise will be so near that the people of Paradise, whether standing or sitting, can pluck them as they wish. The meaning of «دانية» is “near,” «أرائك» means “throne,” Imam Hasan al-Basri said the word «نضرة منه» refers to freshness and the joy of the heart. And Mujahid said «سلسبيلا‏» means “flowing swiftly,” and the word «غول‏» means “pain of the belly.” «ينزفون‏» means that their intellect will not be affected (as happens with worldly wine). And Ibn ‘Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: (In Surah an-Naba) the word «دهاقا‏» means “filled to the brim.” The word «كواعب‏» means “raised breasts,” the word «رحيق» means “the wine of Paradise,” «تسنيم» is the extract that will be poured over the wine of the people of Paradise; they will drink it. And the word «ختام» (in Surah al-Mutaffifin) means “the clay of the seal” (with which the bottles of wine in Paradise will be sealed). «نضاختان‏» (in Surah ar-Rahman) means “two gushing springs,” the word «موضونة» (in Surah al-Waqi‘ah) means “ornamented,” and from it comes the word «وضين الناقة‏.‏», meaning the saddlecloth of a she-camel, which is also made. And the word «كوب», whose plural is «اكواب» (in Surah al-Waqi‘ah), means a jug without a handle or spout, and the word «لأباريق» is the plural of «ابريق», which is a jug with a handle and spout. And the word «عربا‏» (in Surah al-Waqi‘ah) is the plural of «عروب», just as «صبور» is the plural of «صبر». The people of Makkah call «عروب» as «عربة», the people of Madinah call it «غنجة», and the people of Iraq call it «شكلة‏.‏». By all of these is meant a woman who is passionately in love with her husband. And Mujahid said the word «روح‏.‏» (in Surah al-Waqi‘ah) means Paradise and abundance of provision. «ريحان‏.‏» (also in the same Surah) means “provision,” and the word «منضود‏» (in Surah al-Waqi‘ah) means “bananas.” «مخضود» is a berry without thorns, hanging due to the weight of its fruit. Some people say that the word “Arab” (in Surah al-Waqi‘ah) means those women who are beloved to their husbands. «مسكوب» (also in the same Surah) means “flowing water.” And the word «وفرش مرفوعة‏» (in Surah al-Waqi‘ah) means “high beds,” i.e., beds placed one above another. The word «لغوا‏» (also in the same Surah) means “falsehood, lies.” The word «تأثيما‏» (also in the same Surah) also means “lies.” The word «أفنان» (in Surah ar-Rahman) means “branches, twigs,” and «وجنى الجنتين دان‏» means that due to their freshness and lushness, they will appear black.

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "The first group (of people) who will enter Paradise will be (glittering) like the moon when it is full. They will not spit or blow their noses or relieve nature. Their utensils will be of gold and their combs of gold and silver; in their centers the aloe wood will be used, and their sweat will smell like musk. Everyone of them will have two wives; the marrow of the bones of the wives' legs will be seen through the flesh out of excessive beauty. They ( i.e. the people of Paradise) will neither have differences nor hatred amongst themselves; their hearts will be as if one heart and they will be glorifying Allah in the morning and in the evening."

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "The first batch (of people) who will enter Paradise will be (glittering) like a full moon; and those who will enter next will be (glittering) like the brightest star. Their hearts will be as if the heart of a single man, for they will have no enmity amongst themselves, and everyone of them shall have two wives, each of whom will be so beautiful, pure and transparent that the marrow of the bones of their legs will be seen through the flesh. They will be glorifying Allah in the morning and evening, and will never fall ill, and they will neither blow their noses, nor spit. Their utensils will be of gold and silver, and their combs will be of gold, and the fuel used in their centers will be the aloeswood, and their sweat will smell like musk."

Narrated Sahl bin Sa`d: The Prophet said, "Verily! 70,000 or 700,000 of my followers will enter Paradise altogether; so that the first and the last amongst them will enter at the same time, and their faces will be glittering like the bright full moon."

Narrated Anas bin Malik: A silken cloak was presented to the Prophet and he used to forbid the usage of silk (by men). When the people were fascinated by the cloak. he said, "By Allah in Whose Hands the life of Muhammad is, the handkerchiefs of Sa`d bin Mu`adh in Paradise are better than this."

Narrated Al-Bara (bin Azib): The Prophet, after the death of his son Ibrahim, said, "There is a wet-nurse for him (i.e. Ibrahim) in Paradise."

Narrated Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri: The Prophet said, "The people of Paradise will look at the dwellers of the lofty mansions (i.e. a superior place in Paradise) in the same way as one looks at a brilliant star far away in the East or in the West on the horizon; all that is because of their superiority over one another (in rewards)." On that the people said, "O Allah's Apostle! Are these lofty mansions for the prophets which nobody else can reach? The Prophet replied," No! "By Allah in whose Hands my life is, these are for the men who believed in Allah and also believed in the Apostles."
