Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ الْبُنَانِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ صُهَيْبٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏"‏ إِذَا دَخَلَ أَهْلُ الْجَنَّةِ الْجَنَّةَ - قَالَ - يَقُولُ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى تُرِيدُونَ شَيْئًا أَزِيدُكُمْ فَيَقُولُونَ أَلَمْ تُبَيِّضْ وُجُوهَنَا أَلَمْ تُدْخِلْنَا الْجَنَّةَ وَتُنَجِّنَا مِنَ النَّارِ - قَالَ - فَيَكْشِفُ الْحِجَابَ فَمَا أُعْطُوا شَيْئًا أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِمْ مِنَ النَّظَرِ إِلَى رَبِّهِمْ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ‏" ‏ ‏.‏

Translation

‘Ubaydullah ibn ‘Umar ibn Muyassara narrated to us: ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn Mahdi narrated to me: Hammad ibn Salama narrated to us, from Thabit al-Bunani, from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Layla, from Suhayb, from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who said: “When the people of Paradise enter Paradise,” he said, “Allah, Blessed and Exalted, will say: ‘Would you like Me to give you something more?’ They will say: ‘Have You not brightened our faces, admitted us to Paradise, and saved us from the Fire?’” He said: “Then He will unveil the veil, and they will be given nothing dearer to them than looking upon their Lord, Mighty and Majestic.”
