وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي سَمِينَةَ، ثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ رَجَاءٍ، حَدَّثَنِي جَرِيرُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ نَافِعِ بْنِ بُرْدَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ؓ
أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ وَقَدْ أَهَلَّ شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ: لَوْ يَعْلَمُ الْعِبَادُ مَا فِي رَمَضَانَ لَتَمَنَّتْ أُمَّتِي أَنْ تَكُونَ السَّنَةُ كُلُّهَا رَمَضَانَ. فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ خُزَاعَةَ: حَدِّثْنَا بِهِ، قَالَ ﷺ: إِنَّ الْجَنَّةَ لَتَزَيَّنُ فِي رَمَضَانَ مِنْ رَأْسِ الْحَوْلِ إِلَى رَأْسِ الْحَوْلِ، حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ أَوَّلُ يَوْمٍ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ هَبَّتْ رِيحٌ مِنْ تَحْتِ الْعَرْشِ فَصَفَّقَتْ وَرَقَ الْجَنَّةِ، فَتَنْظُرُ الْحُورُ الْعِينُ إِلَى ذَلِكَ، فَتَقُولُ: يَا رَبِّ اجْعَلْ لَنَا مِنْ عِبَادِكَ فِي هَذَا الشَّهْرِ الشَّرِيفِ أَزْوَاجًا تَقَرُّ أَعْيُنُنَا بِهِمْ، وَتَقَرُّ أَعْيُنُهُمْ بِنَا. فَمَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ يَصُومُ رَمَضَانَ إِلَّا زُوِّجَ زَوْجَةً مِنَ الْحُورِ الْعِينِ فِي خَيْمَةٍ مِنْ دُرَّةٍ مُجَوَّفَةٍ مِمَّا نَعَتَ اللهُ تَعَالَى: حُورٌ مَقْصُورَاتٌ فِي الْخِيَامِ عَلَى كُلِّ امْرَأَةٍ مِنْهُنَّ سَبْعُونَ حُلَّةً، لَيْسَ فِيهَا حُلَّةٌ عَلَى لَوْنِ الْأُخْرَى، وَيُعْطَى سَبْعِينَ لَوْنًا مِنَ الطِّيبِ، لَيْسَ مِنْهَا لَوْنٌ عَلَى رِيحِ الْآخَرِ، لِكُلِّ امْرَأَةٍ مِنْهُنَّ سَبْعُونَ سَرِيرًا مِنْ يَاقُوتَةٍ حَمْرَاءَ مُوَشَّحَةٍ بِالدُّرِّ، عَلَى كُلِّ سَرِيرٍ سَبْعُونَ فِرَاشًا بَطَائِنُهَا مِنْ إِسْتَبْرَقٍ، وَفَوْقَ السَّبْعِينَ فِرَاشًا سَبْعُونَ أَرِيكَةً، لِكُلِّ امْرَأَةٍ أَلْفُ وَصِيفَةٍ لِحَاجَاتِهَا، وَأَلْفُ وَصِيفٍ، مَعَ كُلِّ وَصِيفٍ صَحْفَةٌ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ فِيهَا لَوْنُ طَعَامٍ، يَجِدُ لِآخِرِ لُقْمَةٍ مِنْهَا لَذَّةً لَا يَجِدُ لِأَوَّلِهِ، وَيُعْطَى زَوْجُهَا مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ عَلَى سَرِيرٍ مِنْ يَاقُوتَةٍ حَمْرَاءَ، عَلَيْهِ سِوَارَانِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ مُتَوَشَّحٍ بِيَاقُوتٍ أَحْمَرَ. هَذَا بِكُلِّ يَوْمٍ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ سِوَى مَا عَمِلَ مِنَ الْحَسَنَاتِ

✧ He heard the Prophet ﷺ say when the month of Ramadan had begun: "If the servants knew what is in Ramadan, my community would wish that the whole year were Ramadan." A man from Khuza'ah said: "Tell us about it." He ﷺ said: "Paradise is adorned for Ramadan from the beginning of the year to the beginning of the year, until when the first day of Ramadan comes, a wind blows from beneath the Throne and rustles the leaves of Paradise. The houris with large eyes look at that and say: 'O Lord, grant us husbands from Your servants in this noble month who will be a delight to our eyes and whose eyes will be delighted by us.' There is no servant who fasts Ramadan except that he is married to a wife from the houris with large eyes in a tent of hollow pearl, as God Most High described: 'Houris, restrained in pavilions.' Each of them has seventy garments, no garment the same color as another, and she is given seventy kinds of perfume, no kind with the scent of another. Each of them has seventy couches of red ruby adorned with pearls, on each couch seventy beds with linings of brocade, and above the seventy beds seventy canopied couches. Each woman has a thousand maidservants for her needs and a thousand manservants, with each manservant a platter of gold containing a kind of food, the last morsel of which gives a pleasure not found in the first. Her husband is given the like of that on a couch of red ruby, upon him two bracelets of gold adorned with red ruby. This is for each day of Ramadan, besides the good deeds he has done."
