4338 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنْ عَامِرٍ الْأَحْوَلِ، عَنْ أَبِي الصِّدِّيقِ النَّاجِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «الْمُؤْمِنُ إِذَا اشْتَهَى الْوَلَدَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ، كَانَ حَمْلُهُ وَوَضْعُهُ وَسِنُّهُ فِي سَاعَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ، كَمَا يَشْتَهِي»

Commentary
Common rules of reason and their effects which Allâh has established in this world do not exist in Paradise, so every wish will be fulfilled immediately. Allâh will admit some people in Paradise, even if they do not have any good deed, such as the fair and beautiful women and the boy servants who are created in Paradise. Similarly, a baby who comes into existence in Paradise will live there. Entering Paradise will be only out of the grace of Allâh, and grace does not depend on any reason (deed and the like). On the other hand, entering in Hell is a punishment; and punishment is not inflicted on a person without involving some crime. So, no one will enter Hell without committing sins.
