English translation

2526. Abū Hurairah narrated: "We said: 'O Messenger of Allāh! What is wrong with us that when we are with you our hearts are softened and we feel free of desire for this world, and we are of the people of the Hereafter. But when we depart from you and socialize with our families and our children, we do not recognize ourselves (i.e., we are changed persons)?' So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'If you were to be in that condition when you depart from me, the angels would have surely visited you in your houses. And if you did not sin, Allāh would surely have brought a new creation that they may sin, so that then He may forgive them.” He said: “I said: ‘O Messenger of Allāh! From what was the creation created?’ He said: ‘From water.’ We said: ‘Paradise, what is it constructed of?’ He said, ‘Bricks of silver and bricks of gold. Its mortar is musk of a strong fragrance, and its pebbles are pearls and rubies, and its earth is saffron. Whoever enters it shall feel joy and shall not suffer, and he shall live and shall not die, nor shall their clothes wear out, nor shall their youth come to an end.’ Then he said: ‘Three persons, their supplication is not rejected: The just ruler, the fasting person when he breaks his fast, and the supplication of the wronged person. It is raised up above the clouds, and the gates of Heaven are opened up for it, and the Lord, Blessed and Exalted, says: I shall surely come to your aid, even if after a time.’” (Da’if) [Abū ‘Eisā said:] The chain for this Hadīth is not that strong, and in my view, it is not connected. This Hadīth has been related with another chain from Abū Hurairah.

٢٥٢٦ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ ، عَنْ ‌حَمْزَةَ الزَّيَّاتِ، عَنْ ‌زِيَادٍ الطَّائِيِّ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: «قُلْنَا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، مَا لَنَا إِذَا كُنَّا عِنْدَكَ رَقَّتْ قُلُوبُنَا، وَزَهِدْنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا، وَكُنَّا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْآخِرَةِ، فَإِذَا خَرَجْنَا مِنْ عِنْدِكَ فَآنَسْنَا أَهَالِينَا وَشَمَمْنَا أَوْلَادَنَا أَنْكَرْنَا أَنْفُسَنَا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: لَوْ أَنَّكُمْ تَكُونُونَ إِذَا خَرَجْتُمْ مِنْ عِنْدِي كُنْتُمْ عَلَى حَالِكُمْ ذَلِكَ لَزَارَتْكُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ فِي بُيُوتِكُمْ، وَلَوْ لَمْ تُذْنِبُوا لَجَاءَ اللهُ بِخَلْقٍ جَدِيدٍ كَيْ يُذْنِبُوا فَيَغْفِرَ لَهُمْ. قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مِمَّ خُلِقَ الْخَلْقُ؟ قَالَ: مِنَ الْمَاءِ. قُلْتُ: الْجَنَّةُ مَا بِنَاؤُهَا؟ قَالَ: لَبِنَةٌ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ وَلَبِنَةٌ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، وَمِلَاطُهَا» الْمِسْكُ الْأَذْفَرُ، وَحَصْبَاؤُهَا اللُّؤْلُؤُ وَالْيَاقُوتُ، وَتُرْبَتُهَا الزَّعْفَرَانُ، مَنْ دَخَلَهَا يَنْعَمُ وَلَا يَيْأَسُ، وَيَخْلُدُ وَلَا يَمُوتُ لَا تَبْلَى ثِيَابُهُمْ، وَلَا يَفْنَى شَبَابُهُمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ: ثَلَاثٌ لَا تُرَدُّ دَعْوَتُهُمُ؛ الْإِمَامُ الْعَادِلُ، وَالصَّائِمُ حِينَ يُفْطِرُ، وَدَعْوَةُ الْمَظْلُومِ، يَرْفَعُهَا فَوْقَ الْغَمَامِ، وَتُفْتَحُ لَهَا أَبْوَابُ السَّمَاءِ، وَيَقُولُ الرَّبُّ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: وَعِزَّتِي لَأَنْصُرَنَّكِ وَلَوْ بَعْدَ حِينٍ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ لَيْسَ إِسْنَادُهُ بِذَاكَ الْقَوِيِّ، وَلَيْسَ هُوَ عِنْدِي بِمُتَّصِلٍ، وَقَدْ رُوِيَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ بِإِسْنَادٍ آخَرَ عَنْ أَبِي مُدِلَّةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ.

Commentary

The text contains three statements (Ahādīth). Contents of Hadīth (1) have already been discussed under Hadīth (no. 2514). As for Hadīth (2), it makes out the point that to err is human. It does not mean that man should go on committing mistakes or sins. No; it is his duty to do his utmost to avoid mistakes and sins. However, if a mistake or sin does happen, he must seek forgiveness of Allāh. Hadīth (3) states that every living creature is created from water. Hadīth (4) answers questions about the composition and construction of Paradise and its soil and floor.
