وحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو غَسَّانَ الْمِسْمَعِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ الصَّمَدِ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عِمْرَانَ الْجَوْنِيُّ ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " فِي الْجَنَّةِ خَيْمَةٌ مِنْ لُؤْلُؤَةٍ ، مُجَوَّفَةٍ عَرْضُهَا سِتُّونَ مِيلًا فِي كُلِّ زَاوِيَةٍ مِنْهَا أَهْلٌ مَا يَرَوْنَ الْآخَرِينَ يَطُوفُ عَلَيْهِمُ الْمُؤْمِنُ " .
Abu Bakr (RA) bin 'Abdullah bin Qais (RA) reported on the authority of his father that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said that in Paradise there would be a tent made of a single hollowed pearl, the breadth of which would be sixty miles from all sides and there would live a family in each corner and the other would not be able to see the believer who goes around them.

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Maulana Abdul Aziz Alvi
Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: In Paradise, a believer’s tent will be sixty miles long, sixty miles wide, and sixty miles high, meaning its length, width, and depth will all be equal. In every corner, there will be his household. If by “household” (ahl) is meant “wife,” then the meaning will be that every inhabitant of Paradise will have more than two wives. Therefore, Qadi ‘Iyad, Hafiz Ibn Hajar, and others hold the view that every inhabitant of Paradise will have two wives from among the women of this world, and the rest will be from among the women of Paradise. Or, it may be that by “household” is meant dependents, servants, and attendants, and the wives will be distinct and clearly identified. Because, according to Hafiz Ibn al-Qayyim, apart from this narration of Abu Musa al-Ash‘ari radi Allahu anhu, there is no other authentic narration regarding more than two wives.

Hadith Commentary:

It is understood from this hadith that in Paradise, the women—comprising both the houris and the wives from this world—will be more numerous than the men.
It is narrated from Abu al-Darda’ radi Allahu anhu that the tent in Paradise, which will be made from a hollow pearl, will have seventy doors.
(al-Zuhd by Ibn al-Mubarak, p. 487, Dar al-Kutub al-‘Ilmiyyah edition)
The word “tent” here alludes to the noble verse:
()
“Houris, secluded in tents.”
(al-Rahman: 55:72)
Accordingly, Imam al-Bukhari rahimahullah has mentioned this hadith in the commentary of this noble verse, in which it is explicitly stated that the tent of hollow pearl will be sixty miles high.
(Sahih al-Bukhari, Tafsir:
Hadith 4879)


Imam al-Bukhari rahimahullah has described the attributes of Paradise, stating that there will be tents of this kind, made from a single pearl.
In any case, the people of Paradise will be granted palaces in Paradise.
Most likely, these tents will be used during journeys.
And Allah knows best.
