بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ
Narrated by Ibn Mas’ud: Verily the Messenger of Allah said: The last to enter Paradise would be a man who would walk once and stumble once and be burnt by the Fire once. Then when he gets beyond it, he will turn to it and say: Blessed is He Who has saved me from thee. Allah has given me something He has not given to any one of those in earlier or later times.
Then a tree would be raised up for him and he will say: O my Lord I bring me near this tree so that I may take shelter in its shade and drink of its water.
Allah, the Exalted and Great, would say: O son of Adam, if I grant you this, you will ask Me for something else. He would say: No. my Lord. And he would promise Him that he would not ask for anything else. His Lord would excuse him because He sees what he cannot help desiring; so He would bring him near it, and he would take shelter in its shade and drink of its water.
Afterwards a tree more beautiful than the first would be raised up before him and he would say: O my Lord! bring me near this tree in order that I may drink of its water and take shelter in its shade and I shall not ask Thee for anything else. He (Allah) would say: O son of Adam, if I bring you near it you may ask me for something else. He would promise Him that he would not ask for anything else. His Lord will excuse him because He would see something he cannot help desiring. So He would bring him near it and he would enjoy its shade and drink its water.
Then a tree would be raised up for him at the gate of the Paradise, more beautiful than the first two. He would say: O my Lord! bring me near this (tree) so that I may enjoy its shade and drink from its water. I shall not ask Thee for anything else. He (Allah) would say: O son of Adam! did you not promise Me that you would not ask Me anything else? He would say: Yes, my Lord, but I shall not ask Thee for anything else. His Lord would excuse him for He sees something the temptation of which he could not resist. He (Allah) would bring him near to it, and when He would bring him near it he would hear the voices of the inhabitants of the Paradise.
He would say: O my Lord! admit me to it. He (Allah) would say: O son of Adam, what will bring an end to your requests to Me? Will it please you if I give you the whole world and a like one along with it? He will say: O my Lord! Are you mocking at me, though you are the Lord of the worlds?
Ibn Mas’ud laughed and asked (the hearers): Why don’t you ask me what I am laughing at. They (then) said: Why do you laugh? He said: It is in this way that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) laughed. They (the companions of the Holy Prophet) asked: Why do you laugh. Messenger of Allah?
He said: On account of the laugh of the Lord of the universe, when he (desirer of Paradise) says ‘are you mocking me though you are the Lord of the worlds?
Allah would say: I am not mocking at you, but I have power to do whatever I will. [Muslim]
In another narration: When Allah would laugh at him, He would say: Enter the Paradise. When he would enter, Allah would say: State your wish. He would express his wishes till Allah would remind him (the desire of) such and such (things).
When his desires would be exhausted Allah would say: That is for thee and, besides it, the like of it also.
‘Ata’ b. Yazid said: Abu Sa’id al-Khudri was with Abu Huraira and be did not reject anything from the hadith narrated by him, but when Abu Huraira narrated:” Allah said to that man; and its like along with it,” Abu Sa’id said:” Ten like it along with it,” O Abu Huraira.
Abu Huraira said: I do not remember except the words:” That is for you and a similar one along with it.”
Abu Sa’id said: I bear witness to the fact that I remembered from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) his words:” That is for thee and ten like it.”
Abu Huraira said: That man was the last of those deserving of Paradise to enter Paradise. [Muslim]
What we can take from this is that the last person to deserve paradise is given such amenities let alone all the beauty that comes with paradise. One of the best gifts the people of Jannah will be given is the removal of “ghill” from the hearts – which is any form of resentment, harsh or negative feelings or bad feelings, any type of depression or sadness. That in itself is paradise for the human being, let alone what Allah has planned.
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Allah said, “I have prepared for My righteous slaves (such excellent things) as no eye has ever seen, nor an ear has ever heard nor a human heart can ever think of.’ “ [Bukhari]
May Allah grant us Jannah.
Allah knows best.
