Majma al-Zawaid 18744 — The eating, drinking and desires of the people
عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَرْقَمَ قَالَ : جَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالَ : يَا أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ ، تَزْعُمُ أَنَّ أَهْلَ الْجَنَّةِ يَأْكُلُونَ فِيهَا وَيَشْرَبُونَ ؟ قَالَ : " نَعَمْ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ، إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيُعْطَى قُوَّةَ مِائَةِ رَجُلٍ فِي الْأَكْلِ ، وَالشُّرْبِ ، وَالشَّهْوَةِ ، وَالْجِمَاعِ " . فَقَالَ الْيَهُودِيُّ : إِنَّ الَّذِي يَأْكُلُ وَيَشْرَبُ تَكُونُ لَهُ الْحَاجَةُ ، وَالْجَنَّةُ مُطَهَّرَةٌ ، قَالَ : حَاجَةُ أَحَدِهِمْ عَرَقٌ يَفِيضُ مِنْ جِلْدِهِ كَرِيحِ الْمِسْكِ ، فَإِذَا بَطْنُهُ قَدْ ضَمُرَ " .
Sayyiduna Zayd bin Arqam (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: A man from among the Jews came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Abu al-Qasim, you claim that the people of Paradise will eat and drink in it?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes. By the One in whose Hand is my soul, (every) man (in Paradise) will be given the strength of a hundred men in eating, drinking, desire and intercourse." The Jew said: "Whoever eats or drinks also needs to relieve himself, and Paradise will be pure." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "(In Paradise) a person's relieving himself will be in the form of sweat that flows from his skin, like the fragrance of musk, and then his stomach will become light."
