Hadith 5630
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مِمَّ خُلِقَ الْخَلْقُ؟ قَالَ: «مِنَ الْمَاءِ» . قُلْنَا: الْجَنَّةُ مَا بِنَاؤُهَا؟ قَالَ: «لَبِنَةٌ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ وَلَبِنَةٌ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ وَمِلَاطُهَا الْمِسْكُ الْأَذْفَرُ وَحَصْبَاؤُهَا اللُّؤْلُؤُ وَالْيَاقُوتُ وَتُرْبَتُهَا الزَّعْفَرَانُ مَنْ يَدْخُلُهَا يَنْعَمُ وَلَا يَبْأَسُ وَيَخْلُدُ وَلَا يَمُوتُ وَلَا يَبْلَى ثِيَابُهُمْ وَلَا يَفْنَى شَبَابُهُمْ» . رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ وَالتِّرْمِذِيّ والدارمي
Abu Huraira told that he asked God's messenger what the creation was made of and he replied that it was made of water. He was asked what paradise was constructed of and replied, "A brick of gold and a brick of silver with mortar of strong-scented musk; its pebbles are pearls and rubies and its soil is saffron. Those who enter it will be in affluent circumstances and will not be destitute, they will live forever and not die, their garments will not wear out, and their youth will not pass away." Ahmad, Tirmidhi and Darimi transmitted it.
