Chapter 2 · The Book of Faithأَدْنَى أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ مَنْزِلَةً فِيهَا
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي بُكَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ أَبِي عَيَّاشٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: إِنَّ أَدْنَى أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ مَنْزِلَةً، رَجُلٌ صَرَفَ اللهُ وَجْهَهُ عَنِ النَّارِ قِبَلَ الْجَنَّةِ، وَمَثَّلَ لَهُ شَجَرَةً ذَاتَ ظِلٍّ، فَقَالَ: أَيْ رَبِّ، قَدِّمْنِي إِلَى هَذِهِ الشَّجَرَةِ أَكُونُ فِي ظِلِّهَا وَسَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ بِنَحْوِ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ: فَيَقُولُ: «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ مَا يَصْرِينِي مِنْكَ؟» إِلَى آخِرِ الْحَدِيثِ، وَزَادَ فِيهِ: وَيُذَكِّرُهُ اللهُ، سَلْ كَذَا وَكَذَا، فَإِذَا انْقَطَعَتْ بِهِ الْأَمَانِيُّ، قَالَ اللهُ: هُوَ لَكَ وَعَشَرَةُ أَمْثَالِهِ ، قَالَ: ثُمَّ يَدْخُلُ بَيْتَهُ، فَتَدْخُلُ عَلَيْهِ زَوْجَتَاهُ مِنَ الْحُورِ الْعِينِ، فَتَقُولَانِ: الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَحْيَاكَ لَنَا، وَأَحْيَانَا لَكَ ، قَالَ: فَيَقُولُ: مَا أُعْطِيَ أَحَدٌ مِثْلَ مَا أُعْطِيتُ.

The Status of the Lowest people in paradise
Verily, the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: Amongst the inhabitants of Paradise the lowest in rank will be the person whose face Allah would turn away from the Fire towards the Paradise, and make a shady tree appear before him. He would say: O my Lord! direct my steps to this tree so that I (should enjoy) its shade; and the rest of the hadith is like that narrated by Ibn Mas'ud, but he did not mention: He (Allah) would say: O son of Adam! what will bring an end to your making requests to Me to the end of the tradition. In it, he added: Allah will remind him: Ask such and such, and when his expectations would be realised, Allah would say: That is for you, and ten times as much. He said that he would then enter his house and his two wives with large and dark eyes would enter after him. They will say: Praise be to Allah, Who has created you for us and us for you. He will say: No one has been given the like of what I have been given.
