Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
696. Commentary:

➊ There are various opinions regarding the meaning of this narration: This portion has been brought from Paradise and will be transferred to Paradise. Worship performed here is a definite means of entering Paradise. This portion, in the descent of Allah’s mercy, is like Paradise. The last two meanings are more appropriate; it is as if, due to the frequent presence of the blessed feet of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, this portion has become like a garden of Paradise. Subhan Allah wa bihamdihi, Subhan Allah al-‘Azim.

➋ “My house” refers to the chamber of Aisha radi Allahu anha. The measurement of the Rawdah (Riyad al-Jannah) is approximately 75 x 75 (feet).
