Inhabitants of Jannah
Hadith: Arabic Text followed by English Translation.
عن صهيب رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال
إذا دخل أهل الجنة -الجنة- يقول الله تبارك وتعالى: تريدون شيئاً أزيدكم؟ فيقولون: ألم تبيض وجوهنا؟ ألم تدخلنا الجنة وتنجنا من النار؟ فيكشف الحجاب، فما أعطو شيئاً أحب إليهم من النظر إلى ربهم
رواه مسلم، ١٨١
Suhaib (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said,
When the inhabitants of Jannah enter Jannah, Allah, the Glorious and Exalted, will say to them: 'Do you wish me to give you anything more?' They will reply: 'Have You not made our faces bright? Have You not brought us into Jannah and delivered us from the Hell?' And Allah will remove the Veil. The (dwellers of Jannah) will feel that they have not been awarded anything dearer to them than looking at their Lord.
