2549. Ḥassān bin 'Aṭīyyah narrated from Sa'eed bin Al-Musayyab, that he met Abū Hurairah, and Abū Hurairah said: "I supplicate Allāh to bring you and I together in the market of Paradise." So Sa'eed said: "Is there a market in it?" He said: "Yes, the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ informed me that: 'When the people of Paradise enter it, they shall take their places according to the virtue of their deeds. Then permission shall be granted to them to visit their Lord, for the length of a Friday from the days of the world. He shall present for them His Throne, and He shall manifest Himself to them in a garden from the gardens of Paradise. Then lofty seats of light shall be erected for them, and lofty seats of pearl, and lofty seats of corundum, and lofty seats of peridots, and lofty seats of gold, and lofty seats of silver. And the lowest of them – and there is none of them that is low – shall sit upon a dune of musk and camphor, and they shall not regard those upon the chairs as having a better sitting place than them.’ Abū Hurairah said: “I said: ‘O Messenger of Allāh, and will we see our Lord?’ He (ﷺ) said: ‘Yes. [He said:] Do you doubt [concerning] seeing the sun, or the moon on a night when it is full?’ We said: ‘No.’ He said: ‘Likewise, you will not doubt concerning seeing your Lord. And there shall not remain in that meeting any man except Allāh shall give him a lecture until he says to a man from among them: “O so-and-so son of so-and-so, do you remember the day when you said such-and-such.” And He will remind him of some of his betrayals in the world, so he will say: “O my Lord, did you not forgive me?” So He will say: “Indeed! It is by the vastness of My Forgiveness that you reached this station of yours.” So while they are engaged in this they shall be covered by a cloud that shall rain upon them a perfume, the like of whose smell they have not smelled, ever. And our Lord [Blessed and Exalted is He] shall say: "Arise to what I have prepared for you of generosity, and take whatever you desire." Then, we will come to a market which the angels will have already surrounded. [In it] shall be what no eyes have seen the like of, nor ears have heard of, nor ever has it occurred in the hearts (of men). And there shall be carried to us whatever we desire. There shall not be anything sold or bought in this market, and, in that market, the people of Paradise shall meet one another.' He said: 'So the person of high rank shall come and meet the one below him in rank – and there is none among them that is low – so he shall be impressed by the clothes he sees on him, their discussion shall not come to an end until he shall imagine upon himself what is more beautiful than it, and that is because it is not fitting for anyone to feel regret therein. Then we will return to our places and our wives shall meet us saying: "Welcome and greetings, you have come, and you have beauty greater than what you parted us with." So we will say: "Indeed we sat today with our Lord, the Powerful, and it is fitting that we should return with what we have returned with."' (Da'if) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Gharīb, we do not know of it except through this route. [And Suwaid bin 'Amr has reported part of this Hadīth from Al-Awzā'ī.]

[1] That appears to be due to their large numbers, meaning although the gate is so wide, their amassing to go through it will constrict them. And Allāh knows best.

Commentary

The Hadith tells us that each person in Paradise shall be given status and rank in accordance with the level of his belief and the virtue of his deeds. The more superior the level of his belief and deeds, the higher his status and rank in Paradise. They will also have the joy of meeting their Lord once every week, on Friday. They shall converse with their Lord, sitting on seats elevated according to their ranks. They shall in the meanwhile be covered by a cloud that shall rain the finest kind of perfume over them. They shall also go to visit a market place where they shall find things the like of which, not to speak of seeing or hearing, they will not have even dreamt in their wildest dreams.
