Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُهَاجِرٍ الأَنْصَارِيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي الضَّحَّاكُ الْمَعَافِرِيُّ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ مُوسَى، عَنْ كُرَيْبٍ، - مَوْلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ - قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ لأَصْحَابِهِ ‏ "‏ أَلاَ مُشَمِّرٌ لِلْجَنَّةِ فَإِنَّ الْجَنَّةَ لاَ خَطَرَ لَهَا هِيَ وَرَبِّ الْكَعْبَةِ نُورٌ يَتَلأْلأُ وَرَيْحَانَةٌ تَهْتَزُّ وَقَصْرٌ مَشِيدٌ وَنَهَرٌ مُطَّرِدٌ وَفَاكِهَةٌ كَثِيرَةٌ نَضِيجَةٌ وَزَوْجَةٌ حَسْنَاءُ جَمِيلَةٌ وَحُلَلٌ كَثِيرَةٌ فِي مَقَامٍ أَبَدًا فِي حَبْرَةٍ وَنَضْرَةٍ فِي دَارٍ عَالِيَةٍ سَلِيمَةٍ بَهِيَّةٍ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالُوا نَحْنُ الْمُشَمِّرُونَ لَهَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ قُولُوا إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ الْجِهَادَ وَحَضَّ عَلَيْهِ ‏.‏

Translation

Al-Abbas ibn Uthman al-Dimashqi narrated to us: al-Walid ibn Muslim narrated to us: Muhammad ibn Muhajir al-Ansari narrated to us: al-Dahhak al-Maafiri narrated to me, from Sulayman ibn Musa, from Kurayb, the freedman of Ibn Abbas, who said: Usamah ibn Zayd narrated to me that one day the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to his Companions: Is there anyone who will strive for Paradise? Paradise has no equal, by the Lord of the Kaabah! It is radiant light, a swaying fragrant plant, a lofty palace, a flowing river, abundant ripe fruit, a beautiful and lovely wife, and many garments, in an everlasting abode, in delight and freshness, in a high, secure, splendid dwelling. They said: We will strive for it, Messenger of Allah. He said: Say, If Allah wills. Then he mentioned jihad and encouraged it.
