حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ، وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " إِنَّ فِي الْجَنَّةِ لَمُجْتَمَعًا لِلْحُورِ الْعِينِ يُرَفِّعْنَ بِأَصْوَاتٍ لَمْ يَسْمَعِ الْخَلاَئِقُ مِثْلَهَا قَالَ يَقُلْنَ نَحْنُ الْخَالِدَاتُ فَلاَ نَبِيدُ وَنَحْنُ النَّاعِمَاتُ فَلاَ نَبْأَسُ وَنَحْنُ الرَّاضِيَاتُ فَلاَ نَسْخَطُ طُوبَى لِمَنْ كَانَ لَنَا وَكُنَّا لَهُ " . وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَأَبِي سَعِيدٍ وَأَنَسٍ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ عَلِيٍّ حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ .
Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.
‘Ali reported that the Messenger of Allah said: ‘In Paradise there is a gathering of the wide-eyed houris, where they raise their voices in a way no creature has ever heard. They say: “We are everlasting and will never perish; we live in bliss and will never suffer; we are content and will never be displeased. Blessed is the one who is ours and to whom we belong.”’ Abu ‘Isa said: ‘The hadith of ‘Ali is gharīb.’ Other reports on this topic are related from Abu Hurairah, Abu Sa‘id, and Anas.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The source calls the gathering for al-hur al-‘in and says their voices are unlike any heard by creatures. It ends with a topical cross-reference to reports from Abu Hurairah, Abu Sa‘id, and Anas, followed by the gharīb grading; this is rendered explicitly rather than the witness’s vague ‘other chains.’
