English translation

4339. It was narrated from ‘Abdullâh bin Mas’ud that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "I know the last of the people of Hell who will be brought forth from it, and the last of the people of Paradise to be admitted to Paradise. (It is) a man who will emerge from Hell crawling, and it will be said to him: 'Go and enter Paradise.' He will come to it and it will be made to appear to him as if it is full. So he will say: 'O Lord, I found it full.' Allāh will say: 'Go and enter Paradise.' He will come to it and it will be made to appear to him as if it is full. So he will say: 'O Lord, I found it full.' Allāh will say: 'Go and enter Paradise.' He will come to it and it will be made to appear to him as if it is full. So he will say: 'O Lord, I found it full.' Allāh will say: 'Go and enter Paradise, for you will have the like of the world and ten times more, or you will have ten times the like of the world.' He will say: 'Are You mocking me, or are You laughing at me, when You are the Sovereign?'" He said: "And I saw the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ smiling so broadly that his molar teeth could be seen." And he used to say: "This is the lowest of the people of Paradise in status." (Sahih)

4339 - حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَبِيدَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنِّي لَأَعْلَمُ آخِرَ أَهْلِ النَّارِ خُرُوجًا مِنْهَا، وَآخِرَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ دُخُولًا الْجَنَّةَ، رَجُلٌ يَخْرُجُ مِنَ النَّارِ حَبْوًا، فَيُقَالُ لَهُ: اذْهَبْ فَادْخُلِ الْجَنَّةَ، فَيَأْتِيهَا فَيُخَيَّلُ إِلَيْهِ أَنَّهَا مَلْأَى فَيَرْجِعُ، فَيَقُولُ: يَا رَبِّ وَجَدْتُهَا مَلْأَى، فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ: اذْهَبْ فَادْخُلِ الْجَنَّةَ، فَيَأْتِيهَا فَيُخَيَّلُ إِلَيْهِ أَنَّهَا مَلْأَى، فَيَرْجِعُ، فَيَقُولُ: يَا رَبِّ وَجَدْتُهَا مَلْأَى، فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ سُبْحَانَهُ: اذْهَبْ فَادْخُلِ الْجَنَّةَ، فَيَأْتِيهَا فَيُخَيَّلُ إِلَيْهِ أَنَّهَا مَلْأَى، فَيَرْجِعُ، فَيَقُولُ: يَا رَبِّ إِنَّهَا مَلْأَى، فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ: اذْهَبْ فَادْخُلِ الْجَنَّةَ، فَإِنَّ لَكَ مِثْلَ الدُّنْيَا، وَعَشَرَةَ أَمْثَالِهَا - أَوْ إِنَّ لَكَ مِثْلَ عَشَرَةِ أَمْثَالِ الدُّنْيَا - فَيَقُولُ: أَتَسْخَرُ بِي - أَوْ أَتَضْحَكُ بِي - وَأَنْتَ الْمَلِكُ؟ "، قَالَ: فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ضَحِكَ حَتَّى بَدَتْ نَوَاجِذُهُ، فَكَانَ يُقَالُ: هَذَا أَدْنَى أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ مَنْزِلًا

Commentary

A person of the lowest grade in Paradise will get ten times more space than the kingdom of any king in this world. A person is repeatedly informed that there is no empty place in Paradise to multiply his joys when he enters Paradise. c. Laughing at the time of happiness or astonishment is not contrary to piety and asceticism.
