Allah will bestow His pleasure and contentment upon the people of paradise

Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri (RadhiAllahu 'anhu):

Allah's Apostle (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said,

"Allah will say: to the people of Paradise, 'O the people of Paradise!'

They will say: 'Labbaik, O our Lord, and Sa'daik!'

Allah will say: 'Are you pleased?"

They will say: 'Why should we not be pleased since You have given us what You have not given to anyone of Your creation?'

Allah will say: 'I will give you something better than that.'

They will reply: 'O our Lord! And what is better than that?'

Allah will say: 'I will bestow My pleasure and contentment upon you so that I will never be angry with you after forever.' "


[Sahih Bukhari - Book 76 - Hadith 557]

Allah SWT the Most Gracious and the Most Merciful




Narrated Abu Huraira (Radhiallahu anhu) :

Allah's Messenger (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said, "Allah has some angels who look for those who celebrate the Praises of Allah on the roads and paths. And when they find some people celebrating the Praises of Allah, they call each other, saying, "Come to the object of your pursuit."

He (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) added, "Then the angels encircle them with their wings up to the sky of the world."

He (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) added, "(after those people celebrated the Praises of Allah, and the angels go back), their Lord, asks them (those angels) ----though He knows better than them---- 'What do My slaves say?' The angels reply, 'They say: Subhan Allah, Allahu Akbar, and Alham-du-lillah, Allah then says 'Did they see Me?' The angels reply, 'No! By Allah, they didn't see You.'

Allah says, how it would have been if they saw Me?' The angels reply, 'If they saw You, they would worship You more devoutly and celebrate Your Glory more deeply, and declare Your freedom from any resemblance to anything more often.'

Allah says (to the angels), 'What do they ask Me for?' The angels reply, 'They ask You for Paradise.' Allah says (to the angels), 'Did they see it?' The angels say, 'No! By Allah, O Lord! They did not see it.' Allah says, How it would have been if they saw it?' The angels say, 'If they saw it, they would have greater covetousness for it and would seek it with greater zeal and would have greater desire for it.'

Allah says, 'From what do they seek refuge?' The angels reply, 'They seek refuge from the (Hell) Fire.' Allah says, 'Did they see it?' The angels say, 'No By Allah, O Lord! They did not see it.' Allah says, How it would have been if they saw it?' The angels say, 'If they saw it they would flee from it with the extreme fleeing and would have extreme fear from it.'

Then Allah says, 'I make you witnesses that I have forgiven them.'

Allah's Messenger (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) added, "One of the angels would say, 'There was so-and-so amongst them, and he was not one of them, but he had just come for some need.' Allah would say, 'These are those people whose companions will not be reduced to misery.' "

[ Sahih Bukhari - Volume 8, Book 75, Hadith 417 ]

The Obligation of Gratitude to Allah

Abu Hurairah (RadhiAllahu 'anhu) reported:

On the Night of Al-Isra (the Night of Ascension) the Prophet (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) was presented with two drinking vessels: one full of wine and the other one full of milk. He looked at them. Then he took the vessel which was full of milk. Thereupon Jibril (Gabriel) said: "Al-hamdu lillah (praise be to Allah) Who has guided you to that, which is in accord with Fitrah (i.e., Islamic Monotheism; pure nature of Islam). Had you selected wine, your people would have gone astray.''

[Muslim].

Commentary:
This Hadith highlights the following points:

1. Islam is a religion which matches with the pure nature. Every sensible person accepts it instinctively.
2. One who is endowed with the capacity and aptitude to do good should praise Allah.
3. Wine is the root of all evils and for this reason has been regarded the "Mother of Vices''.
4. To take good omen from agreeable signs is Mustahabb (desirable).
