Narrated by al-Mughirah ibn
Shubah(Radiallaho Anho)
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said:
MUSA (pbu) asked his Lord:
Who amongst the inhabitants of Paradise
would be the lowest in 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 should say to him: Enter Paradise.
He would say: O my Lord! how (can enter)
when the people have
settled in their apartments and taken their shares (portions)?
It would be said to him: Would you be
pleased if you had a kingdom like that of one of the kings of the world? He
would say: I should be pleased, my Lord.
He (Allah) would say: That is for you,
and that, that, 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 (MUSA (pbu)) 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 will be
blessed with bounties) which no eye has seen, no ear has heard and no human
mind has perceived. This is substantiated 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).
(Sahih Muslim - Hadeeth # 363)
