وَقَالَ عَبْدٌ، وَالْحَارِثُ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ، ثَنَا حُصَيْنُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، ثَنَا مُخَارِقٌ، عَنْ طَارِقِ بْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ، قَالَ:
جَاءَ نَاسٌ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، فَقَالُوا: يَا مُحَمَّدُ، أَفِي الْجَنَّةِ فَاكِهَةٌ ؟ قَالَ ﷺ: نَعَمْ، فِيهَا فَاكِهَةٌ وَنَخْلٌ وَرُمَّانٌ، قَالُوا: فَيَأْكُلُونَ كَمَا يَأْكُلُونَ فِي الدُّنْيَا ؟ قَالَ ﷺ: نَعَمْ، وَأَضْعَافُ ذَلِكَ، قَالُوا: فَيَقْضُونَ الْحَوَائِجَ ؟ قَالَ ﷺ: لَا، وَلَكِنْ يَعْرَقُونَ ثُمَّ يَرْشَحُونَ، فَيُذْهِبُ اللهُ تَعَالَى مَا فِي بُطُونِهِمْ مِنْ أَذًى

✧ Some Jews came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, 'O Muhammad, is there fruit in Paradise?' He ﷺ said, 'Yes, in it there is fruit, palm trees, and pomegranates.' They said, 'Will they eat as they eat in this world?' He ﷺ said, 'Yes, and many times more.' They said, 'Will they relieve themselves?' He ﷺ said, 'No, but they will sweat and then perspire, and Allah, Exalted is He, will remove whatever harm is in their bellies.'
