Hadith 189 Part A

setting

It is reported on the authority of al-Mughira b. Shu'ba that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said

The same hadith has been by AlMughirah bin Shu'bah attributing it to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). Moses asked his Lord : Who amongst the inhabitants of Paradise is the lowest to rank ? He (Allah) said : The person who would be admitted into Paradise last of all among those deserving of Paradise who are admitted to it. I would be said to him : Enter Paradise. He would say : O my Lord ! how (should I enter) while the people have settled in their apartments and taken the shares (portions) ? It would be said to him : Would you be pleased if there be for you like the kingdom of a king amongst the kings of the world ? He would say : I am pleased my Lord. He (Allah) would say : For you is that , and like that , and like that , and like that , and that. He would say at the fifth (point) : I am well pleased. My Lord. He (Allah) would say : It is for you and , ten times like it , and for you is what your self desires and your eye enjoys. He would say : I am well pleased , my Lord. He (Moses) said : (Which is) the highest of their (inhabitants of Paradise) ranks ? He (Allah) said : They are those whom I choose. I establish their honour with My own hand and then set a seal over it (and they would be blessed with Bounties) which no eye has seen , no ear has heard and no human mind has perceived : and this is sub- stantiated by the Book of Allah , Exalted and Great : " So no soul knows what delight of the eye is hidden for them ; a reward for what they did" (xxxii. 17).
