Speaking about some of the bliss of Paradise and the punishment of the Fire.

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

The Shaykh : But you must have heard of the good tidings that came from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), as in *Sahih Muslim*, from the hadith of Abdullah ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:

I know the last man to come out of the Fire and the last man to enter Paradise. A man comes out of the Fire, crawling.

إني لأعرف آخر رجل يخرج من النار وآخر رجل يدخل الجنة رجل يخرج من النار يحبو حبوا

This is an indication that the man is ruined and exhausted from his punishment in the Fire; he cannot walk with a sound gait as Allah created him, but only crawls.

Then a tree appears to him from afar. He sees its freshness, its greenness, its beauty, and its fruits. He says, "O my Lord, bring me to that tree so that I may take shelter in its shade, eat from its fruit, and drink from its water." The Lord, Blessed and Exalted is He, says, "O My servant, perhaps if I did that, you would ask Me for something else." He says, "No, O my Lord, I do not ask You for anything else." So Allah the Exalted brings him to that tree, and he takes shelter in its shade, eats from its fruits, and drinks from its water. Then he continues his way to Paradise. A second tree appears to him, greater, greener, and more beautiful than the first. He says, "O my Lord, bring me to that tree." And Allah the Exalted says, "O My servant, did you not promise Me that you would not ask Me for anything else? Perhaps you will ask Me for something else." He says, "No, O my Lord." So He brings him to it.

فتبدو له شجرة من بعيد يبدو له من نضارتها وخضارتها وجمالها وثمارها فيقول يا رب أوصلني إلى تلك الشجرة حتى أستظل بظلها وآكل من ثمرها وأشرب من ماءها فيقول الرب تبارك وتعالى يا عبدي لعلك إن فعلت سألتني غيرها يقول لا يا رب لا أسألك غيرها فيوصله الله عز وجل إلى تلك الشجرة فيستظل بظلها ويأكل من ثمارها ويشرب من ماءها ثم يتابع طريقه إلى الجنة فتبدو له شجرة ثانية هي أعظم وأخضر وأجمل من سابقتها فيقول يا رب أوصلني إلى تلك الشجرو يقول الله عز وجل يا عبدي ألست قد عاهدتني ألا تسألني غيرها فلعلك تسالني غيرها فيقول لا يا رب فيوصلها إليها

And so, three trees: he hopes for what is with Allah of bounty, and Allah the Exalted grants it to him. After the third tree,

He approaches the gates of Paradise and hears the voices of the people of Paradise. He says, "O my Lord, let me enter behind the gate of Paradise." Allah the Exalted says, "Enter Paradise."

يقترب من أبواب الجنة فيسمع صوت أهل الجنة فيقول يا رب أدخلني وراء باب الجنة فيقول الله عز وجل أدخل الجنة

here is the point:

And for you is the like of the world and ten times its amount.

ولك مثل الدنيا وعشرة أضعافها

This is the last one to come out of the Fire and the last one to enter Paradise. He will have the like of the world and ten times its amount. The human mind can hardly encompass this, but the truth is that the sciences in which these disbelievers excel, and those who speak of the vastness of the planets in the upper heavens, bring closer this distant thing that we believe in and submit to, submitting to the Lord of the Worlds. This is a hadith of good tidings, and similar to it is:

The people of Paradise enter Paradise bald, with no beards, with kohl in their eyes, the age of thirty-three, with the stature of Adam (peace be upon him), sixty cubits in height and six cubits in width.

يدخل أهل الجنة الجنة جردا مردا مكحلين أبناء ثلاث وثلاثين على طول آدم عليه السلام ستون ذراعا في ستة أذرع

The world here is not the world there. The people of Paradise enter in this state, with this description. This is from the good tidings. Now listen to the warning: "Bald, with no beards." It does not concern you as long as you maintain your beard here; but there, your creation will be expanded from the absence of the beard.

The Shaykh : The audience : They laugh.
The Shaykh : From the warnings, the Messenger (peace be upon him) said:

The tooth of the disbeliever in Paradise is like Mount Uhud.

ضرس الكافر في الجنة مثل جبل أحد

The tooth of the disbeliever in Hellfire is like Mount Uhud.

ضرس الكافر في جهنم مثل جبل أحد

If the conditions there are completely and totally different from here. From this, we return to the good tidings that Allah the Exalted bestows upon His servants, enabling them to see Him with their eyes.
