2552. Suhaib narrated concerning His (Allāh's) statement: For those who do good is the best (reward) and even more.[2] – the Prophet ﷺ said: "When the people of Paradise enter Paradise, a caller shall call out: 'Indeed you have a promise from Allāh.' They will say: 'Did He not whiten our faces, save us from the Fire, and admit us into Paradise?' They will say: 'Indeed.' Then the Veil shall be lifted." He
said: "So, by Allāh, He did not grant them anything more beloved to them than looking at Him." (Sahīh)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth was only narrated with a chain in Marfū' form by Ḥammād bin Salamah. Sulaimān bin Al-Mughīrah [and Ḥammād bin Zaid] reported this Hadīth from Thābit Al-Bunānī from 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Abī Lailā as his statement.

Commentary
Greater than all the bounties of Paradise will be the supreme bliss of seeing the Countenance of Allāh. The simple reason being that all other bounties are things created while the Countenance shall be Allāh's who is the Creator. And obviously the creation can stand no comparison to the Creator.
