الْجَنَّةُ مِائَةُ دَرَجَةٍ وَالْفِرْدَوْسُ مِنْ أَعْلَاهَا دَرَجَةً فَاسْأَلُوهُ الْفِرْدَوْسَ
Paradise has one hundred levels and al-Firdaws is the highest of them, so ask Him for al-Firdaws
Mustadrak al-Hakim — Hadith 272
اُردوEn
حدَّثَناه أبو بكر بن إسحاق، أخبرنا محمد بن غالب، حدثنا عفّان بن مسلم وأبو الوليد الطَّيالسي قالا: حدثنا همَّام، عن زيد بن أسلمَ، عن عطاء بن يَسَار، عن عبادة بن الصامت، أنَّ النبي ﷺ قال: "الجنةُ مئةُ درجةٍ، ما بين كلِّ درجتَينِ كما بينَ السماء والأرض، والفِردَوسُ مِن أعلاها درجةً، ومنها تَفجَّرُ أنهارُ الجنة، فإذا سألتُم الله فاسألوه الفِردوسَ" (2).
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ubadah bin al-Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Paradise has a hundred levels; between every two levels is a distance like that between the earth and the heaven. The highest level among them is al-Firdaws, and from it the rivers of Paradise flow forth. So when you ask Allah, ask Him for al-Firdaws."

(2) حديث صحيح، وهذا إسناد رجاله ثقات، لكنه قد اختُلف فيه على عطاء بن يسار، فروي عنه عن عبادة كما هنا، وروي عنه عن أبي هريرة وأبي سعيد كما في الحديث السابق، وروي عنه عن معاذ بن جبل كما عند أحمد 36/ (22087) وغيره، وهذا الخلاف لا يضر، فإنَّ الصحابة كلهم عدول. أبو الوليد الطيالسي: هو هشام بن عبد الملك، وهمّام: هو ابن يحيى العَوْذي. ¤ ¤ وأخرجه أحمد 37/ (22695) عن عفان بن مسلم وحده، بهذا الإسناد.
