أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، نا لَيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ((إِنَّ فِي الْجَنَّةِ شَجَرَةً يَسِيرُ الرَّاكِبُ فِي ظِلِّهَا مِائَةَ سَنَةٍ)) .
Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he said: "In Paradise, there is a tree under whose shade a rider can travel for a hundred years."
Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Abdush Shakoor Tirmidhi
Benefits:
From the aforementioned hadith, it is understood that the shade of the trees in Paradise will be very long, and those trees will always be laden with fruits. As Allah the Exalted says: ﴿مُدْهَامَّتَانِ() فَبِاَیِّ اٰلَآءِ رَبِّکُمَا تُکَذِّبٰنِ﴾ ( Al-Rahman: 64–65).... “(The gardens of Paradise) are dark green and lush. So which of the favors of your Lord will you deny, O jinn and mankind?”
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa‘id al-Khudri radi Allahu anhu that the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said: “Tuba is the name of a tree in Paradise; the distance of its shade is one hundred years. And the garments of the people of Paradise will be made from the sheaths of its buds.” (Silsilat al-Sahihah, no. 1985)
Although there will be no sunlight in Paradise, the existence of trees is a great blessing from Allah Dhul-Jalal, which makes the scenery beautiful. From the aforementioned hadith, one can also estimate the vastness of Paradise: if its trees are so large, then how immense must Paradise itself be.
