Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 486
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، وَإِسْحَاقُ قَالاَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذٌ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْمُتَوَكِّلِ النَّاجِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ: إِذَا خَلَصَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ مِنَ النَّارِ حُبِسُوا بِقَنْطَرَةٍ بَيْنَ الْجَنَّةِ وَالنَّارِ، فَيَتَقَاصُّونَ مَظَالِمَ بَيْنَهُمْ فِي الدُّنْيَا، حَتَّى إِذَا نُقُّوا وَهُذِّبُوا، أُذِنَ لَهُمْ بِدُخُولِ الْجَنَّةِ، فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ، لَأَحَدُهُمْ بِمَنْزِلِهِ أَدَلُّ مِنْهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا.

Musaddad and Ishaq said: Mu‘adh related to us; my father related to me, from Qatada, from Abu al-Mutawakkil al-Naji, from Abu Sa‘id, from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, who said: “When the believers have been delivered from the Fire, they will be held at a bridge between the Garden and the Fire. They will settle accounts among themselves for the wrongs they committed in this world. When they have been cleansed and refined, they will be permitted to enter the Garden. By Him in whose hand is Muhammad’s soul, each of them will know his place in the Garden better than he knew it in this world.”

لَأَحَدُهُمْ بِمَنْزِلِهِ أَدَلُّ مِنْهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا
The comparative can convey being more certain or better guided to one’s dwelling/place.
Is ‘know his place better’ the clearest rendering of أدلّ here?
