(2). 3330. Thuwair narrated: "I heard Ibn 'Umar say: 'The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said, "Indeed the least of the people of Paradise in rank, is the one who shall look at his gardens, his wives, his servants, and his beds from the distance of a thousand years, and the noblest of them with Allāh is the one who shall look at His Face morning and night." Then the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ recited: Some faces on that day shall be radiant. They shall be looking at their Lord.[1] (Da'if)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Gharīb. It has been reported through more than one route from Isrā'īl, from Thuwair, similarly in Marfū' form. 'Abdul-Mālik bin Abjar reported it from Thuwair,
from Ibn 'Umar, as his saying, without narrating it in Marfū' form. Al-Ashja'i reported it from Sufyān, from Thuwair, from Mujāhid from Ibn 'Umar as his statement without it being Marfū'. And we do not know of anyone who mentioned "from Mujāhid" in it, other than Ath-Thawri.
[This was narrated to us by Abū Kuraib (he said): "Ubaidullāh Al-Ashja'i reported to us: 'From Sufyān.'" Thuwair's Kunyah is Abū Jahm. Abū Fākhītah's name is Sa'eed bin Ilāqah].

[1] Al-Qiyāmah 75:22-23. This narration preceded – with the very same chain of narrators – under Hadīth no. 2553 but there he mentioned the addition: "his bounties" before "his servants."
Commentary
The understanding of true concept and reality of the favors of Paradise is impossible, in this life. Similarly, the condition and reality of Allāh's Appearance is beyond the scope of intellect and comprehension. But we have Faith in the unseen that seeing Allāh will be possible in the hereafter. The real concept will be observed after entering into Paradise, because the Faith of manifest observance will be therein.
