Hadith 696
اُردوEn
أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ، عَنْ عَبَّادِ بْنِ تَمِيمٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ ، قال : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَا بَيْنَ بَيْتِي وَمِنْبَرِي رَوْضَةٌ مِنْ رِيَاضِ الْجَنَّةِ " .
´It was narrated that 'Abdullah bin Zaid said:` "The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'The area between my house and my Minbar is one of the gardens of Paradise.'"
Brief Explanation
1؎: By "house" is meant the chamber of Aisha radi Allahu anha in which the noble grave of the Prophet is located. In the narration of Tabarani, «ما بين المنبر وبيت عائشة» is mentioned, and in the narration of Bazzar (Kashf al-Astar 2/56), «ما بين قبري ومنبري» is mentioned.
2؎: There are several statements regarding the interpretation of this. One statement is that this place will be raised and become a garden from among the gardens of Paradise. The second statement is that whoever worships here will enter Paradise and will attain a garden from among the gardens of Paradise. The third statement is that this portion has come from Paradise itself. The fourth statement is that the particle of resemblance is omitted in it «ای کروضۃ فی نزول الرحمۃ والسعادۃ بما یحصل من ملازمۃ حلق الذکر لا سیما فی عہدہ صلی+اللہ+علیہ+وسلم»—that is, "it is like a garden of Paradise in terms of the descent of mercy and felicity, due to the regularity of circles of remembrance (dhikr)."

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).
