When hearts change, faces also change.
Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said (regarding the people of Paradise): [ قُلُوْبُهُمْ عَلٰی قَلْبِ رَجُلٍ وَّاحِدٍ لاَ اخْتِلَافَ بَيْنَهُمْ وَلَا تَبَاغُضَ ] [ بخاری، بدء الخلق، باب ما جاء فی صفۃ الجنۃ : ۳۲۴۶ ] "Their hearts will be like the heart of a single man, there will be no differences among them, nor any hatred between them." Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: [ يَخْلُصُ الْمُؤْمِنُوْنَ مِنَ النَّارِ فَيُحْبَسُوْنَ عَلٰی قَنْطَرَةٍ بَيْنَ الجَنَّةِ وَالنَّارِ، فَيُقْتَصُّ لِبَعْضِهِمْ مِنْ بَعْضٍ مَظَالِمُ كَانَتْ بَيْنَهُمْ فِي الدُّنْيَا، حَتّٰی إِذَا هُذِّبُوْا وَ نُقُّوْا أُذِنَ لَهُمْ فِيْ دُخُوْلِ الجَنَّةِ ] [ بخاری، الرقاق، باب القصاص یوم القیامۃ : ۶۵۳۵ ] "The believers will be saved from the Fire and will be stopped on a bridge between Paradise and Hell, then the injustices they committed against each other in the world will be requited among them, until when they are completely purified and cleansed, they will be permitted to enter Paradise." From this verse, it is understood that the Companions and the righteous of the Ummah, despite their mutual conflicts and grievances, will enter Paradise, but before that, the mutual malice in their hearts will be completely removed, and they will enter Paradise as pure-hearted brothers.

Purification of Hearts Before Entering Paradise:
If, due to some misunderstandings in worldly life, there remained any resentment or displeasure among righteous people, then before entering Paradise, Allah Almighty will remove all such things from their hearts, and they will enter Paradise as brothers. All previous matters will be erased from their hearts. Sayyiduna Aliؓ, after reciting this very verse, said that he hoped Allah would also bring about reconciliation between himself, Uthmanؓ, Talhaؓ, and Zubairؓ. It should be noted that these four noble Companionsؓ were members of the six-member committee formed by Sayyiduna Umarؓ before his death for the selection of a new Caliph, and this resentment had arisen due to some misunderstandings. Some people have also taken this to mean that in Paradise, the ranks of its inhabitants will be different; some will be deserving of a higher level of Paradise, and some of a lower level. So, before entering, envy, resentment, etc., will be removed from everyone’s hearts, and every inhabitant of Paradise will be content and satisfied with their own rank.
