| On the authority of al-Mughirah Ibn Shu'bah (رضي الله عنه), from, the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم), That Moses (عليه السلام) asked his Lord, 'Who amongst the inhabitants of Jannah (Paradise) will be the lowest in rank?' Allah said: "It will be a person, who will be admitted into Jannah last of all when all the dwellers of Jannah have entered Jannah. It will be said unto him, Enter Jannah! But he will say, My Lord! How should I enter while the people have settled in their abodes, and taken their shares? It will be said unto him, Will you be satisfied, if you have a kingdom like that of a monarch of the world? He will say, I will be pleased, my Lord! It will be said unto, For you is that, and the like of that, and the like of that, and the like of that! He will say at the fifth time, I am well-pleased, my Lord! Allah will say, "This is for you and ten times more like it. You will have whatever your nafs (self) desires, and whatever your eyes could delight in." He will say, I am well-pleased, my Lord! Moses said, 'My Lord! Who will be of the highest rank?' Allah said, "They are those whom I chose, and I established their honour with My Own Hand. I attest with My Seal that they will be blessed with such bounties as no eye has seen, no ear has heard and no human heart (mind) has perceived." [Muslim] |
