قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ: أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، ثَنَا الثَّوْرِيُّ وَمَعْمَرٌ - يَزِيدُ كُلٌّ مِنْهُمَا عَلَى صَاحِبِهِ - عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ ضَمْرَةَ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ؓ

فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى: وَسِيقَ الَّذِينَ اتَّقَوْا رَبَّهُمْ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ زُمَرًا حَتَّى إِذَا جَاءُوهَا وَجَدُوا عِنْدَ بَابِ الْجَنَّةِ شَجَرَةً ( قَالَ مَعْمَرٌ: ) يَخْرُجُ مِنْ سَاقِهَا، ( وَقَالَ الثَّوْرِيُّ: ) مِنْ أَصْلِهَا - عَيْنَانِ، فَعَمَدُوا إِلَى إِحْدَاهُمَا، فَكَأَنَّمَا أُمِرُوا بِهَا ( قَالَ مَعْمَرٌ: ) فَاغْتَسَلُوا بِهَا، ( وَقَالَ الثَّوْرِيُّ: ) فَتَوَضَّؤُوا مِنْهَا فَلَا تَشْعَثُ رُؤُوسُهُمْ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ أَبَدًا، وَلَا تُغَيَّرُ جُلُودُهُمْ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ أَبَدًا، كَأَنَّمَا ادَّهَنُوا بِالدِّهَانِ، وَجَرَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ نَضْرَةُ النَّعِيمِ، ثُمَّ عَمَدُوا إِلَى الْأُخْرَى فَشَرِبُوا مِنْهَا، فَطَهَّرَتْ أَجْوَافَهُمْ، فَلَا يَبْقَى فِي بُطُونِهِمْ قَذًى وَلَا أَذًى وَلَا سُوءًا إِلَّا خَرَجَ، وَتَتَلَقَّاهُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ عَلَى بَابِ الْجَنَّةِ: سَلامٌ عَلَيْكُمْ طِبْتُمْ فَادْخُلُوهَا خَالِدِينَ وَتَتَلَقَّاهُمُ الْوِلْدَانُ كَاللُّؤْلُؤِ الْمَكْنُونِ، كَاللُّؤْلُؤِ الْمَنْثُورِ، يُخْبِرُونَهُمْ بِمَا أَعَدَّ اللهُ تَعَالَى لَهُمْ، يُطِيفُونَ بِهِمْ كَمَا يَطُوفُ وِلْدَانُ أَهْلِ الدُّنْيَا بِالْحَمِيمِ يَجِيءُ مِنَ الْغَيْبَةِ، يَقُولُونَ: أَبْشِرْ أَعَدَّ اللهُ لَكَ كَذَا وَكَذَا، وَأَعَدَّ لَكَ كَذَا وَكَذَا، ثُمَّ يَذْهَبُ الْغُلَامُ مِنْهُمْ إِلَى الزَّوْجَةِ مِنْ أَزْوَاجِهِ، فَيَقُولُ: قَدْ جَاءَ فُلَانٌ بِاسْمِهِ الَّذِي يُدْعَى بِهِ فِي الدُّنْيَا، فَيَسْتَخِفُّهَا الْفَرَحُ، حَتَّى تَقُومَ عَلَى أُسْكُفَّةِ بَابِهَا فَتَقُولُ: أَنْتَ رَأَيْتَهُ ؟ قَالَ: فَيَجِيءُ فَيَنْظُرُ إِلَى تَأْسِيسِ بُنْيَانِهِ عَلَى جَنْدَلِ اللُّؤْلُؤِ بَيْنَ أَخْضَرَ وَأَصْفَرَ وَأَحْمَرَ مِنْ كُلِّ لَوْنٍ، ثُمَّ يَجْلِسُ فَإِذَا زَرَابِيُّ مَبْثُوثَةٌ، وَنَمَارِقُ مَصْفُوفَةٌ، وَأَكْوَابٌ مَوْضُوعَةٌ، ثُمَّ يَرْفَعُ رَأْسَهُ، فَيَنْظُرُ إِلَى سَقْفِ بِنَائِهِ، فَلَوْلَا أَنَّ اللهَ تَعَالَى ( قَالَ مَعْمَرٌ: ) قَدَّرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ وَقَالَ الثَّوْرِيُّ: سَخَّرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ، لَأَلَمَّ أَنْ يُذْهَبَ بِبَصَرِهِ، إِنَّمَا هُوَ مِثْلُ الْبَرْقِ، فَيَقُولُ: الْحَمْدُ لِلهِ الَّذِي هَدَانَا الْآيَةَ

✧ Concerning His saying, Exalted is He: 'And those who feared their Lord will be driven to Paradise in groups' (Q 39:73), until when they come to it, they find at the gate of Paradise a tree. (Ma'mar said:) From its trunk, (and al-Thawri said:) from its roots, there spring two springs. They betake themselves to one of them, and it is as if they were commanded to do so. (Ma'mar said:) They bathe in it, (and al-Thawri said:) they perform ablution from it, and after that their heads never become disheveled and their skins never change, as if they had anointed themselves with oil, and the radiance of bliss shines upon them. Then they betake themselves to the other spring and drink from it, and it purifies their insides, so that no impurity, harm, or evil remains in their bellies but that it comes out. The angels meet them at the gate of Paradise: 'Peace be upon you; you have become good, so enter it to abide eternally' (Q 39:73). And the youths meet them, like hidden pearls, like scattered pearls, telling them what Allah, Exalted is He, has prepared for them. They surround them as the youths of the people of this world surround a beloved one who returns from absence, saying, 'Receive good tidings: Allah has prepared for you such-and-such, and has prepared for you such-and-such.' Then one of those youths goes to a wife from among his wives and says, 'So-and-so has come,' using the name by which he was called in this world. Joy overwhelms her until she stands on the threshold of her door and says, 'Did you see him?' He said, 'Then he comes and looks at the foundation of his building, which is upon boulders of pearl, among green, yellow, and red of every color. Then he sits, and behold, carpets are spread out, cushions are arranged, and goblets are placed. Then he raises his head and looks at the ceiling of his building, and were it not that Allah, Exalted is He, (Ma'mar said:) had decreed that for him, and al-Thawri said: had subjected that for him, it would nearly take away his sight. It is but like lightning. Then he says, "Praise be to Allah who guided us [to this]" (Q 7:43).'
