Few Hadith Pertaining to Paradise

Abu Huraira رضي الله عنه reported Allah’s Messenger صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّم as saying: The people most loved by me from amongst my Ummah would be those who would come after me but everyone amongst them would have the keenest desire to catch a glimpse of me even at the cost of his family and wealth.

Abu Huraira رضي الله عنه reported Allah’s Apostle صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّم as saying that: Allah the Exalted and Glorious, said: I have prepared for My pious servants which no eye has ever seen, and no ear has ever heard, and no human heart has ever perceived but it is testified by the Book of Allah. He then recited: “No soul knows what comfort has been concealed from them, as a reward for what they did”.

Sahl b. Sa’d reported Allah’s Messenger صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّم as saying: In Paradise, there is a tree under the shadow of which a rider can travel for a hundred years without covering (the distance) completely. This hadith has also been transmitted on the authority of Abu Sa’id al-Khudri that Allah’s Apostle صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّم is reported to have said: In Paradise, there is a tree under the shadow of which a rider of a fine and swift-footed horse would travel for a hundred years without covering the distance completely. There would be the pleasure of Allah for the inmates of Paradise and He would never be annoyed with them.

Abu Huraira رضي الله عنه reported Allah’s Messenger صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّم as saying: The first group of my Ummah to get into Paradise would be like a full moon in the night. Then those who would be next to them; they would be like the most significantly glittering stars in regard to brightness, then after them (others) in ranks. They would neither void excrement, nor pass water, nor suffer from catarrh, nor would they spit. And their combs would be made of gold, and the fuel of their braziers would be aloes and their sweat would be musk and their form would be the form of one single person according to the length of their father sixty cubits tall. This hadith has been transmitted on the authority of Ibn Abi Shaiba with a slight variation of wording.
