—and there are many other well-known verses on this topic.

As for the hadiths, they are exceedingly numerous, and many of them appear in the two Ṣaḥīḥs. Among them are:

713 – Abū Ibrāhīm—some say Abū Muḥammad, and others Abū Muʿāwiyah—ʿAbd Allāh ibn Abī Awfā (may Allah be pleased with both of them) reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave Khadījah (may Allah be pleased with her) the glad tidings of a house in Paradise made of qasab, in which there will be neither clamour nor fatigue. Agreed upon.

Qasab here means a single hollow pearl; sakhab denotes shouting and noise; nasab means weariness.

714 – Abū Mūsā al-Ashʿarī (may Allah be pleased with him) related: He performed ablution in his house, then said, “Today I will keep close to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and spend the entire day with him.” He went to the mosque and inquired about the Prophet ﷺ. They answered, “He is over there.” He continued, “So I followed his trail, asking after him, until he entered the well of Arīs. I sat at the entrance until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished relieving himself and performed ablution. Then I approached him and found him sitting on the rim of Bir Arīs in the middle of its curb, with his shins uncovered and dangling in the well. I greeted him and then withdrew, seating myself at the door and saying, ‘Today I shall be the doorkeeper of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.’

“Abū Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) came and knocked at the door. I said, ‘Who is this?’ He replied, ‘Abū Bakr.’ I said, ‘Stay where you are.’ I went in and said, ‘O Messenger of Allah, Abū Bakr is seeking permission.’ He said, ‘Let him in and give him the glad tidings of Paradise.’ I returned and said to Abū Bakr, ‘Enter, for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gives you the glad tidings of Paradise.’ Abū Bakr entered and sat on the Prophet’s right within the curb, dangling his legs in the well and uncovering his shins just as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had done.

“I then went back and sat down, having left my brother performing ablution with the intention of joining me. I said, ‘If Allah wills good for so-and-so’—meaning my brother—‘He will bring him.’ A man then moved the door. I asked, ‘Who is this?’ He said, ‘ʿUmar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb.’ I said, ‘Stay where you are.’ I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, greeted him, and said, ‘ʿUmar is asking permission?’
