Zād al-MaʿādIbn al-Qayyim

the inhabitants of Paradise in a spacious valley. Pulpits of pearl, gold, and emerald will be set up for them, while the rest (1) will sit upon dunes of musk. They will visit their Lord, glorified is He, and He will reveal Himself to them, so that they see Him with their own eyes. Those who went earliest to the mosque will be the first to arrive, and those who stood closest to the imam will be closest to Him. The inhabitants of Paradise long (2) for the Day of Increase there because of the honor they receive on it. That day is Friday; if it coincides with the Day of Arafah, it has an excellence, distinction, and merit (3) unmatched by any other day.

Tenth: Late on the Day of Arafah, the Lord, glorified is He, draws near to those gathered there, then extols them before the angels, saying:

“What do these people seek? I call you to witness that I have forgiven them” (4).

Along with His drawing near to them, glorified is He, comes the hour of answered supplication, during which He turns away no one who asks Him for something good. They draw near to Him by calling upon Him and humbly imploring Him during that hour, and He draws near

(1) This is the reading in all the manuscripts, meaning those other than the occupants of the pulpits, as stated in the hadith reported by al-Tirmidhī (2549): “The lowest-ranking among them—though none of them is lowly—will sit upon dunes of musk and camphor; they will not consider those seated on chairs to have better seats than theirs.” In the main text of n, the reading was changed to “al-yāqūt (ruby).” The printed editions likewise have this reading, which is a textual corruption. (2) ʿ, mb, and n read: “mushtāqūn (longing).” (3) In the margin of ʿ: “fadīla (excellence),” with a mark indicating correctness. (4) Reported by Muslim (1348), from the hadith of ʿĀʾisha, may Allah be pleased with her, which includes: “What do these people seek?” As for the words, “I call you to witness that I have forgiven them,” these are reported by Ibn Khuzayma (2840), Ibn Batta in al-Ibāna al-kubrā (2761, Āl Hamdān edition), Ibn Manda in al-Tawhīd (885), al-Lālakāʾī in Usūl al-iʿtiqād (3/486), and al-Bayhaqī in Shuʿab al-īmān (3774) and Fadāʾil al-awqāt (p. 354), through Abū al-Zubayr from Jābir. Its chain of transmission is hasan (good).
أهل الجنة في وادٍ أفيَح، وتُنصَب لهم منابر من لؤلؤ، ومنابر من ذهب، ومنابر من زبرجد، والباقون (١) على كثبان المسك، فيزورون ربَّهم ﵎، ويتجلَّى لهم فيرونه عيانًا، ويكون أسرعَهم موافاةً أعجلُهم رواحًا إلى المسجد، وأقربهم منه أقربهم من الإمام. فأهل الجنة يشتاقون (٢) إلى يوم المزيد فيها، لما ينالون فيه من الكرامة؛ وهو يوم الجمعة، فإذا وافق يومَ عرفة كان له مزية واختصاص وفضل (٣) ليس لغيره. العاشر: أنه يدنو الرب ﵎ عشية عرفة من أهل الموقف، ثم يباهي بهم الملائكة، فيقول: «ما أراد هؤلاء؟ أُشْهِدُكم أني قد غفرتُ لهم» (٤). ويحصل مع دنوِّه منهم ﵎ ساعةُ الإجابة التي لا يرُدُّ فيها سائلًا يسأله خيرًا، فيقرُبون منه بدعائه والتضرع إليه في تلك الساعة، ويقرُب
(١) كذا في الأصول جميعًا. يعني: غير أصحاب المنابر، كما جاء في حديث الترمذي (٢٥٤٩): «ويجلس أدناهم ــ وما فيهم من دني ــ على كثبان المسك والكافور، ما يرون أن أصحاب الكراسي بأفضل منهم مجلسًا». وقد غُيِّر في متن ن إلى «الياقوت». وكذا في النسخ المطبوعة، وهو تحريف. (٢) ع، مب، ن: «مشتاقون». (٣) في حاشية ع: «فضيلة» مع علامة صح. (٤) أخرجه مسلم (١٣٤٨) من حديث عائشة ﵂، وفيه: «ما أراد هؤلاء». وأما قوله: «أشهدكم أني قد غفرت لهم» فقد أخرجه ابن خزيمة (٢٨٤٠) وابن بطة في «الإبانة الكبرى» (٢٧٦١ - نشرة آل حمدان) وابن منده في «التوحيد» (٨٨٥) واللالكائي في «أصول الاعتقاد» (٣/ ٤٨٦) والبيهقي في «شعب الإيمان» (٣٧٧٤) وفي «فضائل الأوقات» (ص ٣٥٤) من حديث أبي الزبير عن جابر، وإسناده حسن.
