Ibn Abī ‘Umar narrated to us; Sufyān narrated to us, from Muḥammad ibn al-Munkadir, from ‘Aṭā’ ibn Yasār, from a man of Egypt, who said: I asked Abū al-Dardā’ about the saying of Allah, Exalted is He: “For them are glad tidings in the life of this world.” He said, “No one has asked me about it except you, apart from one man, since I asked the Messenger of Allah.” I asked the Messenger of Allah, and he said, “No one has asked me about it except you since it was revealed: it is the righteous vision that a Muslim sees or that is seen for him.”

Reports on this topic are also related from ‘Ubādah ibn al-Ṣāmit. He said: This is a ḥasan hadith.
