وَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ، ثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ؓ، قَالَ:
سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْجَنَّةِ كَيْفَ هِيَ ؟ قَالَ: مَنْ يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ يَحْيَا لَا يَمُوتُ، وَيَنْعَمُ حَتَّى لَا يَبْأَسُ، لَا تَبْلَى ثِيَابُهُ، وَلَا يَفْنَى شَبَابُهُ، قِيلَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، كَيْفَ بِنَاؤُهَا ؟ قَالَ ﷺ: لَبِنَةٌ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ، وَلَبِنَةٌ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، مِلَاطُهَا مِسْكٌ أَذْفَرُ، وَحَصْبَاؤُهَا اللُّؤْلُؤُ وَالْيَاقُوتُ، وَتُرَابُهَا الزَّعْفَرَانُ

✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ was asked about Paradise, how it is. He said: Whoever enters Paradise will live and not die, and will enjoy bliss without hardship. His clothes will not wear out, and his youth will not fade. It was said: O Messenger of God, how is its construction? He said ﷺ: A brick of silver and a brick of gold, its mortar is pungent musk, its pebbles are pearls and rubies, and its dust is saffron.
