Hadith 28

s to the ground, she says to him, ‘Welcome to the good soul which has come out from the good body! Receive glad tidings, for you is what neither an eye has seen nor has an ear heard nor occurred upon the heart of a mortal! ’
And Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Says: “I-saww am his replacement in his family, and the one who pleases them has pleased Me-azwj and the one who angers them has angered Me-azwj! ”
And Allah-azwj Makes his soul to be in the bodies of green birds that roam freely in Paradise wherever they wish, eating from its fruits and resting in golden lanterns hanging from the Throne. Each of them is granted seventy chambers in the gardens of Al-Firdows, stretching between Sana’a (Yemen) and Syria, and their light fills the space between the skies and the earth. Each chamber has seventy doors, with seventy golden panels on each door, and curtains hanging over them. Inside every chamber are seventy tents, in each tent seventy golden beds, whose legs are made of pearls and emeralds, connected by rods of green sapphire. On each bed are forty layers of bedding, each forty cubits thick, and on every bed is a wife from among the maiden Houries, devoted and of equal age’. The youth asked, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen-asws! Tell me about the ‘devoted’. He-asws replied, ‘She is the affectionate, pleasing, and beloved one, whose beauty is captivating. She has seventy thousand servant boys and seventy thousand servant girls, adorned in golden ornaments with radiant faces, wearing crowns of pearls. Around their necks are scarves, and in their hands are cups and pitchers. And when it will be the Day of Qiyamah, he will rise from his grave with his sword drawn, his veins flowing with blood. His colour will be that of blood, but his fragrance will be that of musk. He will walk through the gathering place of Resurrection. And by the One in Whose Hand is my-asws soul! If the prophets-as were on his path, they would dismount in honour of his splendour, until he will proceed to tables made of jewels, sit upon them, and intercede for seventy thousands of his family and neighbours, even two neighbours will argue over who is closer to him-saww so they can sit with him-as and with Ibrahim-as at the Table of Eternity, where they will behold Allah-azwj the Exalted, every morning and evening’’.
