Abu Hurairah said, "I ask Allah to bring you and me together in the marketplace of Paradise."Saeed asked, "Is there a marketplace in Paradise?"He replied, "Yes. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ told me that when the people of Paradise enter it, they will be lodged there according to the merit of their deeds. Then they will be granted permission, for a length of time equivalent to a Friday of the days of this world, to visit Allah . His Throne will be displayed before them and He will manifest Himself to them in one of the gardens of Paradise. Pulpits of light will be set up for them, and pulpits of pearl, pulpits of ruby, pulpits of chrysolite, pulpits of gold, and pulpits of silver. Even the lowest of them, though none among them is truly lowly, will sit upon mounds of musk and camphor, and they will not feel that those seated on the chairs occupy a better place than they do."Abu Hurairah said, "I asked, 'Messenger of Allah, will we see our Lord?'He answered, 'Yes. Do you have any doubt about seeing the sun or the moon on the night of the full moon?'We said, 'No.'He said, 'In the same way, you will have no doubt about seeing your Lord
. No one will remain in that gathering without Allah
addressing him personally, until He will say to one of you, "Do you not remember, so-and-so, the day you did such and such?" reminding him of some of his treacheries in the worldly life. The man will say, "My Lord, did You not forgive me?" He will reply, "Indeed, and it is by the vastness of My forgiveness that you have reached this rank of yours."While they are in this state, a cloud will overshadow them from above and rain down upon them a fragrance the like of whose scent they have never experienced. Then He will say, "Rise to the honor I have prepared for you, and take whatever you desire."So we will come to a marketplace surrounded by angels, containing what no eyes have ever seen, no ears have ever heard, and what has never crossed any heart. Whatever we desire will be brought to us, with nothing being sold or bought there. In that marketplace, the people of Paradise will meet one another. A man of high rank will come forward and meet someone below him, though none among them is lowly, and he will be struck with awe at the garments he sees upon him. Before his words have ended, even finer garments will appear upon him, for it is not fitting that anyone should grieve in Paradise.Then we will return to our dwellings, and our wives will receive us saying, "Welcome and greetings. You have come back with even greater beauty and fragrance than when you left us." And we will reply, "Today we sat in the company of our Lord, the Compeller
, and it is only right that we should return as we have returned."'"
حدثنا هشام بن عمار حدثنا عبد الحميد بن حبيب بن أبي العشرين حدثني عبد الرحمن بن عمرو الأوزاعي حدثني حسان بن عطية حدثني سعيد بن المسيب أنه لقي
أبو هريرة أسأل الله أن يجمع بيني وبينك في سوق الجنة قال سعيد أوفيها سوق قال نعم أخبرني رسول الله ﷺ أن أهل الجنة إذا دخلوها نزلوا فيها بفضل أعمالهم فيؤذن لهم في مقدار يوم الجمعة من أيام الدنيا فيزورون الله عز وجل ويبرز لهم عرشه ويتبدى لهم في روضة من رياض الجنة فتوضع لهم منابر من نور ومنابر من لؤلؤ ومنابر من ياقوت ومنابر من زبرجد ومنابر من ذهب ومنابر من فضة ويجلس أدناهم وما فيهم دنيء على كثبان المسك والكافور ما يرون أن أصحاب الكراسي بأفضل منهم مجلسا قال أبو هريرة قلت يا رسول الله هل نرى ربنا قال نعم هل تتمارون في رؤية الشمس والقمر ليلة البدر قلنا لا قال كذلك لا تتمارون في رؤية ربكم عز وجل ولا يبقى في ذلك المجلس أحد إلا حاضره الله عز وجل محاضرة حتى إنه يقول للرجل منكم ألا تذكر يا فلان يوم عملت كذا وكذا يذكره بعض غدراته في الدنيا فيقول يا رب أفلم تغفر لي فيقول بلى فبسعة مغفرتي بلغت منزلتك هذه فبينما هم كذلك غشيتهم سحابة من فوقهم فأمطرت عليهم طيبا لم يجدوا مثل ريحه شيئا قط ثم يقول قوموا إلى ما أعددت لكم من الكرامة فخذوا ما اشتهيتم قال فنأتي سوقا قد حفت به الملائكة فيه ما لم تنظر العيون إلى مثله ولم تسمع الآذان ولم يخطر على القلوب قال فيحمل لنا ما اشتهينا ليس يباع فيه شيء ولا يشترى وفي ذلك السوق يلقى أهل الجنة بعضهم بعضا فيقبل الرجل ذو المنزلة المرتفعة فيلقى من هو دونه وما فيهم دنيء فيروعه ما يرى عليه من اللباس فما ينقضي آخر حديثه حتى يتمثل له عليه أحسن منه وذلك أنه لا ينبغي لأحد أن يحزن فيها قال ثم ننصرف إلى منازلنا فتلقانا أزواجنا فيقلن مرحبا وأهلا لقد جئت وإن بك من الجمال والطيب أفضل مما فارقتنا عليه فنقول إنا جالسنا اليوم ربنا الجبار عز وجل ويحقنا أن ننقلب بمثل ما انقلبنا
Its chain is daif. Tirmidhi reported it in the chapter on the description of paradise, the section on what has been said about the market of paradise, hadith 2549, from the hadith of Hisham, with this wording, and he said it is gharib. Its defect is the confusion that afflicted Hisham bin Ammar. It is stated in Taqrib, "Truthful, a Quran reciter, he grew old and began to be prompted, so his earlier hadith is more sound." Refer to the books on narrators affected by confusion.
