٣٦٧٢١ - حدثنا يحيى بن أبي (بكير) (١) قال: ثنا زهير بن محمد عن (سهيل) (٢) ابن أبي صالح عن النعمان بن أبي عياش عن أبي سعيد الخدري أن رسول اللَّه ﷺ قال: "إن أدنى أهل الجنة منزلة رجل صرف اللَّه (٣) وجهه عن النار قبل الجنة، ومثل له شجرة ذات ظل فقال: أي رب! قدمني إلى هذه الشجرة أكون في ظلها، فقال اللَّه: هل عسيتَ إن فعلتُ أن تسألني غيره؟ فقال: لا وعزتك، فقدمه اللَّه إليها، ومثل له شجرة أخرى ذات ظل وثمرة فقال: أي رب! قدمني إلى هذه الشجرة (لأكون) (٤) في ظلها وآكل من ثمرها، فقال اللَّه: هل عسيت إن (أعطيتك) (٥) ذلك أن تسألني غيره؟ فقال: لا وعزتك، فقدمه اللَّه إليها، فتمثل له شجرة أخرى ذات ظل وثمر وماء فيقول: أي رب، قدمني إلى هذه الشجرة أكون في ظلها وآكل من ثمرها وأشرب من مائها، (فيقول) (٦): هل عسيت إن فعلت أن تسألني غيره؟ فيقول: لا وعزتك، لا أسألك غيره، فيقدمه اللَّه إليها، قال: فيبرز له باب الجنة فيقول: أي رب! قدمني إلى باب الجنة فكون تحت (نجاف) (٧) الجنة وانظر إلى أهلها، فيقدمه اللَّه إليها فيرى أهل الجنة وما فيها فيقول: أي رب! أدخلني الجنة، فيدخله اللَّه الجنة فإذا دخل الجنة قال: هذا (وهذا) (٨) لي، فيقول اللَّه: تمن، فيتمنى، ويذكره اللَّه: سل من كذا وكذا، حتى إذا انقطعت به الأماني قال اللَّه: هو لك وعشرة أمثاله، قال: ⦗١٥٨⦘ ثم يدخل بيته فيدخل عليه زوجتاه من الحور العين فتقولان له: الحمد للَّه الذي اختارك لنا واختارنا لك، فيقول: ما أعطي أحد مثل ما أعطيت" (٩).
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The lowest ranking person in Paradise will have this status that Allah will turn a person's face from Hell towards Paradise, and a shady tree will be shown to him. That person will say, "O my Lord! Bring me near to that tree so that I may benefit from its shade." Allah will say, "If I bring you near to it, will you ask Me for anything else besides this?" He will say, "No, by Your honor, I will not ask." Allah will bring that person near to the tree. Then another tree will be shown to him, which will be shady and full of fruit. That person will say, "O Allah! Bring me near to that tree so that I may benefit from its shade and eat its fruit." Allah will say, "If I grant you this, will you ask Me for anything else besides this?" He will say, "By Your honor, I will not ask." Allah will bring him near to that tree. Then another tree will be shown to him, which will be shady, full of fruit, and have water. That person will say, "O Allah! Bring me near to that tree so that I may benefit from its shade, eat its fruit, and drink its water." Allah will say, "If I grant you this, will you ask Me for anything else?" That person will say, "By Your honor, I will not ask for anything else." Allah will bring him near to that tree. Then Allah will show him the gate of Paradise. That person will say, "O Allah! Bring me near to the gate of Paradise so that I may sit under its threshold and see its inhabitants." Allah will bring him near. Then he will see the people of Paradise and its blessings, so he will say, "O Allah, admit me into Paradise." Allah will admit him into Paradise. When he enters Paradise, he will say, "This is for me, and this is also for me." Allah will say, "Wish!" He will wish, and Allah the Pure will remind him, "Ask for this and this," until all his wishes are fulfilled. Then Allah will say, "This is also for you, and ten times as much as this as well." Then when he enters his home, his two wives from among the houris will come to him and say, "All praise is for Allah who has chosen you for us and us for you." That person of Paradise will say, "No one has been given what I have been given."
