Zād al-MaʿādIbn al-Qayyim

and this is the abode of My honour, so ask Me (1).” They ask Him for His good pleasure. He said, “My good pleasure brought you into My abode and granted you My honour; ask Me.” They ask Him for His good pleasure. He said: He then makes them witnesses to His good pleasure. They continue asking Him until all their desires are fulfilled. Then, on Friday (2), He opens up for them what no eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no human heart has imagined.

He said: Then the Lord of Might ascends, and the prophets and martyrs ascend with Him, while the inhabitants of the chambers return to their chambers. He said: Each chamber is made of a pearl with no seam or crack, a red ruby, or a green emerald. Its doors, upper rooms, roofs, and locks are made of the same substance. Its rivers flow continuously, and its fruits hang down within it. Within it are its inhabitants’ spouses and servants. He said: There is nothing they need more than Friday, so that they may receive more of Allah’s honour, Mighty and Majestic, and gaze more (3) upon His Face. That is the Day of Increase.” (4)

This hadith has several chains of transmission, which Abū al-Hasan al-Dāraqutnī mentioned in Kitāb al-Ruʾyah (The Book of Seeing Allah) (5).

Twenty-sixth: The “witness” by which Allah swears in His Book has been interpreted as the day of

(1) Manuscripts Mīm and Mīm-Bā’ read “fa-salūn (so ask Me)”; Qāf has the same spelling with an additional alif after the sīn. (2) The al-Risālah edition replaces “on Friday” with “at that time,” without justification or notice. (3) That is, “so that they may gaze more.” This is also the reading in Sād, Jīm, Qāf, Mīm, and Nūn. The manuscript of al-Ru’yah (The Vision) reads “wa-nazarin (and gazing),” vocalized thus, with a notation above it indicating that another copy reads “wa-nazaran (and gazing).” Kāf and ‘Ayn read “wa-l-nazar (and the gazing),” as do the printed editions. (4) Al-Dāraqutnī, Ru’yat Allāh (Seeing Allah), no. 61. Also transmitted by Ibn Abī Shaybah (5560) and Ibn Abī al-Dunyā in Sifat al-Jannah (Description of Paradise), no. 89, through Layth, from ‘Uthmān, with the same chain; and by al-Hārith in his Musnad (196, Bughyat al-Bāhith), through Ayyūb ibn Khawwāt, from ‘Uthmān, with the same chain. ‘Uthmān ibn ‘Umayr is a weak transmitter whose hadith are rejected; he did not hear from Anas, as noted earlier. (5) Nos. 62–65. These chains are not free from criticism, and some include the aforementioned ‘Uthmān ibn ‘Umayr.
وهذا محلُّ كرامتي فسَلُوني (١). فيسألونه الرِّضى. قال: رضاي أنزَلَكم داري، وأنالَكم كرامتي؛ سَلُوني. فيسألونه الرِّضى. قال: فيُشْهِدهم بالرضى. ثم يسألونه حتى تنتهي رغبتهم. ثم يفتح لهم يوم الجمعة (٢) ما لا عينٌ رأت، ولا أذنٌ سمعت، ولا خطر على قلب بشر. قال: ثم يرتفع ربُّ العزَّة، ويرتفع معه النبيون والشهداء، ويجيء أهلُ الغرف إلى غرفهم. قال: كلُّ غرفة من لؤلؤة لا وصلَ فيها ولا فَصْمَ، ياقوتة حمراء، أو غرفة من زَبَرْجَدة خضراء، أبوابُها وعلاليُّها وسقائفُها وأغلاقُها منها. أنهارها مطَّردة، متدلِّية فيها ثمارُها. فيها أزواجها وخدمها. قال: فليسوا إلى شيء أحوجَ منهم إلى يوم الجمعة، ليزدادوا من كرامة الله ﷿ ونظرًا (٣) إلى وجهه. فذلك يوم المزيد» (٤). ولهذا الحديث عدَّة طرق ذكرها أبو الحسن الدارقطني في «كتاب الرؤية» (٥). السادسة والعشرون: أنه قد فُسِّر «الشاهد» الذي أقسم الله به في كتابه بيوم
(١) م، مب: «فسلون». وفي ق: «فسالون». (٢) في طبعة الرسالة: «عند ذلك» بدلًا من «يوم الجمعة» دون مسوِّغ ولا تنبيه. (٣) يعني: «ليزدادوا نظرًا». وكذا في ص، ج، ق، م، ن. وفي مخطوط «الرؤية»: «ونظرٍ» مضبوطًا مع الإشارة فوقه إلى أن في نسخة: «ونظرًا». وفي ك، ع: «والنظر»، وكذا في النسخ المطبوعة. (٤) «رؤية الله» للدارقطني (٦١)، وأخرجه ابن أبي شيبة (٥٥٦٠) وابن أبي الدنيا في «صفة الجنة» (٨٩) من طريق ليث عن عثمان به، والحارث في «مسنده» (١٩٦ - بغية الباحث) من طريق أيوب بن خواط عن عثمان به. وعثمان بن عمير ضعيف متروك الحديث لم يسمع من أنس، وقد تقدم. (٥) (٦٢ - ٦٥)، لا تخلو من مقال، وفي بعضها عثمان بن عمير المذكور.
