(2). 3198. Ash-Sha'bī said: "While he was on the Minbar, I heard Al-Mughīrah bin Shu'bah saying – and he attributed it to the Prophet ﷺ – 'Indeed Mūsā [peace be upon him] asked his Lord: "O Lord! Who is the lowest in rank among the people of Paradise?" He said: "A man who comes after the people of Paradise have been admitted to Paradise, and he is told to enter. He says: 'How can I enter when they have gotten all of their abodes, and all that is to be had?'" He said: "So it is said to him: 'Would you accept if you were to have what a king in the world had?' He says: 'Yes, O Lord! I accept.' So it is said to him: 'Then for you is this and its like, and its like again, and its like again.' So he says: 'I accept, O Lord!' So it is said to him: 'Then for you is this and ten the like thereof.' So he says: 'I accept, O Lord!' So it is
said: 'Indeed you shall have this, and whatever your soul desires, and whatever delights your eyes.'" (Sahīh)

Commentary
The vastness of Paradise is beyond comprehension and its favors are limitless too. Every person entering Paradise is highly respected, but the ranks of Paradise will be different due to the difference in degrees of deeds. The highest and lowest status in Paradise is beyond our comprehension and perception. The real nature of Paradise will be known only in the next life.
