Sahih al-Jami al-Saghir — Hadith 1557

"إن أدنى أهل الجنة منزلا رجل صرف الله وجهه عن النار قبل الجنة ومثل له شجرة ذات ظل فقال: أي رب قدمني إلى هذه الشجرة فأكون في ظلها فقال الله: هل عسيت أن تسألني غيره؟ قال: لا وعزتك فقدمه الله إليها ومثل له شجرة ذات ظل وثمر فقال: أي رب قدمني إلى هذه الشجرة فأكون في ظلها وآكل من ثمرها فقال الله: هل عسيت إن أعطيتك ذلك أن تسألني غيره؟ فيقول: لا وعزتك فيقدمه الله إليها فيمثل الله له شجرة أخرى ذات ظل وثمر وماء فيقول: أي رب قدمني إلى هذه الشجرة فأكون في ظلها وآكل من ثمرها وأشرب من مائها فيقول له: هل عسيت إن فعلت أن تسألني ¤ غيره؟ فيقول: لا وعزتك لا أسألك غيره فيقدمه الله إليها فيبرز له باب الجنة فيقول: أي رب قدمني إلى باب الجنة فأكون تحت سجاف الجنة فأرى أهلها فيقدمه الله إليها فيرى الجنة وما فيها فيقول: أي رب أدخلني الجنة فيدخل الجنة فإذا دخل الجنة قال: هذا لي؟ فيقول الله له: تمن فيتمنى ويذكره الله عز وجل سل من كذا وكذا حتى إذا انقطعت به الأماني قال الله: هو لك وعشرة أمثاله ثم يدخله الله الجنة فيدخل عليه زوجتاه من الحور العين فيقولان: الحمد لله الذي أحياك لنا وأحيانا لك فيقول: ما أعطي أحد مثل ما أعطيت وأدنى أهل النار عذابا ينعل من نار بنعلين يغلي دماغه من حرارة نعليه"
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
"Indeed, the one of lowest rank among the people of Paradise will be a man whose face Allah Almighty turns away from the Fire towards Paradise. A shady tree will be made to appear before him, and he will say: 'O my Lord, bring me near this tree so that I may be in its shade.' Allah Almighty will say: 'Is it not likely that, if I give you this, you will ask Me for something else?' He will say: 'No, by Your Might!' So Allah Almighty will bring him near it. Then another tree, shady and bearing fruit, will be made to appear before him, and he will say: 'O my Lord, bring me near this tree so that I may be in its shade and eat of its fruit.' Allah Almighty will say: 'Is it not likely that, if I grant you this, you will ask Me for something else?' He will say: 'No, by Your Might!' So Allah Almighty will bring him near it. Then Allah Almighty will make another tree appear before him, shady, bearing fruit and with water (a spring), and he will say: 'O my Lord, bring me near this tree so that I may be in its shade, eat of its fruit and drink of its water.' Allah Almighty will say to him: 'Is it not likely that, if I do this, you will ask Me for something else?' He will say: 'No, by Your Might! I will not ask You for anything else.' So Allah Almighty will bring him near it. Then the gate of Paradise will be opened to him, and he will say: 'O my Lord, bring me near the gate of Paradise so that I may be under the curtain of Paradise and see its people.' So Allah Almighty will bring him near it, and he will see Paradise and its blessings. He will say: 'O my Lord, admit me into Paradise.' So he will be admitted into Paradise, and when he enters Paradise he will say: 'Is all this for me?' Allah Almighty will say to him: 'Make your wishes (ask for whatever you want).' So he will wish, and Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, will remind him: 'Ask for such-and-such as well,' until, when all his wishes are exhausted, Allah Almighty will say: 'All this is yours, and ten times as much besides.' Then Allah Almighty will admit him into his palace in Paradise, and his two wives from the wide-eyed houris will come to him and say: 'All praise is for Allah, who brought you to life for us and brought us to life for you.' He will say: 'No one has been given anything like what I have been given today.' And the one who receives the lightest punishment among the people of Hell will be a man who is made to wear two sandals of fire, from the heat of which his brain will boil."
