English translation
4332. Usāmah bin Zaid said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said one day to his Companions: 'Who will strive hard with sincerity for Paradise? For there is nothing like Paradise. By the Lord of the Ka'bah, it is sparkling light, sweet basil waving in the breeze, a lofty palace, a flowing river, abundant ripe fruit, a beautiful wife and many fine garments, in a place of eternal abode, in ease and luxury, in beautiful, strongly-built, lofty houses.' They said: 'We will strive hard for it, O Messenger of Allāh.' He said: 'Say: In shā' Allāh (if Allāh wills).' Then he mentioned Jihād and encouraged them to engage in it." (Da'if)
