4333. It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "The first group to enter Paradise will enter with (faces) like the moon in the night when it is full. Then those who follow them will be shining with a light brighter than the brightest star in the sky. They will not urinate or defecate, or blow their noses or spit. Their combs will be of gold, their sweat will be musk, their braziers* will be pearls and their wives will be houris. Their form will be that of a single man, the form of their father Ādam, sixty forearm's length tall." (Sahih)
* Brazier: Receptacle for holding live coals for burning incense.

Commentary
a. Beauty and attraction to the people of Paradise are granted according to their deeds.
b. The believers of high grades will enter Paradise before others.
c. Entering Paradise first means entering after the Prophets and before other people. Or, they will be among those who enter first from the Muslim nation.
d. A pleasing smell is also a blessing from Allāh. It is used in many forms in this world, like aloe sticks and the like. This blessing exists in the Hereafter too. For this purpose, there will be best aromatic woods which will be burnt in large censers.
e. All who enter Paradise will have the most beautiful and perfect features.
f. When Ādam ﷺ was created he was about sixty cubits (ninety feet in height). So, whoever will enter Paradise, will be of the shape and appearance of Ādam ﷺ.
