Explanation of the Hadith of Abu Sa'id.

The Shaykh : As for the second one, the second hadith: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) spoke about a tree in Paradise. A rider on a swift, galloping horse would take a hundred years to cross it, and this is evidence of its greatness and magnitude. It is said that this tree is Tuba, which is frequently mentioned in the Qur'an and the Sunnah, and it is said that it is something else. The correct view is that Tuba is not a tree, but rather its meaning is "good life." We are left with a difficulty regarding his statement "in its shade," in its shade. How can there be shade when there is no sun in Paradise? It is said that this is either based on the assumption that there is a sun, or it is said that Paradise has a specific direction that is brighter than the other directions, and in that case, there would be shade for the trees. The first is closer to the truth; the first is closer to the truth in my view. Yes.
