Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا سُوَيْدٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، أَخْبَرَنَا رِشْدِينُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ دَرَّاجٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الْهَيْثَمِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ أَدْنَى أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ الَّذِي لَهُ ثَمَانُونَ أَلْفَ خَادِمٍ وَاثْنَتَانِ وَسَبْعُونَ زَوْجَةً وَتُنْصَبُ لَهُ قُبَّةٌ مِنْ لُؤْلُؤٍ وَزَبَرْجَدٍ وَيَاقُوتٍ كَمَا بَيْنَ الْجَابِيَةِ إِلَى صَنْعَاءَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَبِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ مَنْ مَاتَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ مِنْ صَغِيرٍ أَوْ كَبِيرٍ يُرَدُّونَ بَنِي ثَلاَثِينَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ لاَ يَزِيدُونَ عَلَيْهَا أَبَدًا وَكَذَلِكَ أَهْلُ النَّارِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَبِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ عَلَيْهِمُ التِّيجَانَ إِنَّ أَدْنَى لُؤْلُؤَةٍ مِنْهَا لَتُضِيءُ مَا بَيْنَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ ‏" ‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ إِلاَّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ رِشْدِينَ بْنِ سَعْدٍ ‏.‏

Abu Sa‘id al-Khudri reported that the Messenger of Allah said: ‘The lowest-ranking person among the people of Paradise will have eighty thousand servants and seventy-two spouses. A dome of pearl, chrysolite, and ruby will be erected for him, as vast as the distance between al-Jabiyah and Sana’a.’ With the same chain, the Prophet also said: ‘Whoever among the people of Paradise dies, whether young or old, will be restored there at the age of thirty and will never grow older. The same applies to the people of the Fire.’ With the same chain, he said: ‘They will wear crowns; the smallest pearl in one of them will illuminate the distance between the East and the West.’ Abu ‘Isa said: ‘This hadith is gharīb; we know it only through the narration of Rushdayn ibn Sa‘d.’

Notes and open questions — unreviewed
  • The Arabic groups three reports under the same chain and grades the material gharīb, known only through Rushdayn ibn Sa‘d. زبرجد is rendered ‘chrysolite’ and ياقوت ‘ruby’; the source describes a dome (قبة), rather than explicitly calling it a tent.
