186. Abu Bakr bin Qais Al-Ash'ari narrated that his father said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'Two gardens of silver, their vessels and everything in them; and two gardens of gold, their vessels and everything in them, and nothing between the people and their seeing their Lord, the Blessed and Exalted, except the Veil of Pride covering His Face in the Garden of Eden (Jannat 'Adn).” (Sahih)

Arabic text

186 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ الصَّمَدِ عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الصَّمَدِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عِمْرَانَ الْجَوْنِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ الْأَشْعَرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «جَنَّتَانِ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ، آنِيَتُهُمَا وَمَا فِيهِمَا، وَجَنَّتَانِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، آنِيَتُهُمَا وَمَا فِيهِمَا، وَمَا بَيْنَ الْقَوْمِ وَبَيْنَ أَنْ يَنْظُرُوا إِلَى رَبِّهِمْ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى إِلَّا رِدَاءُ الْكِبْرِيَاءِ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ فِي جَنَّةِ عَدْنٍ»

Commentary

The Hadith confirms the certainty of seeing Allāh. The people of Paradise, once inside their abodes, shall be able to see their Lord – the only impediment being the Veil of His Pride. But when Allāh decides to shower His benevolence and mercy upon His servants, the screen will go and seeing will be made possible. Countless and unmatched are the bounties of Allāh in Paradise. What we find mentioned in the Qur’ān and Hadith is only that which man can comprehend. Even the gold and silver in Paradise will be unlike the gold and silver of this world. They are superior beyond imagination.
