2595. Ibn Mas'ūd narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "I know the last of the people of the Fire to depart from it. A man will exit it crawling, and he will say: 'O Lord! The people have taken all the places.'" He said: "So it will be said to him: 'Go to Paradise to enter Paradise.' So he will go to enter, but he will see that the people have taken all the places. He will return and say: 'O Lord! The people have taken all of the places.' So it will be said to him: 'Do you remember the times you used to live in?' And he will say: 'Yes.' So it will be said to him:
'Wish, He will wish for something, and it will be said to him: 'For you is whatever you wished for, and ten times the world.' He will say: 'Do you mock me while you are the King?'" He (Ibn Mas'ūd) said: "I saw the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ laugh until his molars were visible."

Commentary
The Hadīth is a part of a longer Hadīth that narrates the story of the said person's repeated breach of promises he makes to Allāh. Anyhow, the Hadīth says that when he goes to visit Paradise and reports back to Allāh that it is fully occupied, Allāh will offer to give him ten times of what he had in the world. Bewildered at this he will say: "Where can I find ten times of the world in this fully occupied Paradise?" Then, in a style he was wont to in the world he will say: "Are you mocking me, O my Lord?".
Now, on learning that the last of the people to be admitted to Paradise are given ten times what he had in the world, consider how much more the first person admitted to Paradise will receive from his Lord.
