When he comes towards Paradise and sees it, he keeps silent as

God would wish, but then he will cry: “O my Lord, bring me up

to the gate of Paradise!”

God, ever mighty and majestic is He, will reply: “Did you not

make a commitment? Did you not pledge that you would ask

nothing else of Me other than that which I have already given to

you? Woe betide you, child of Adam, how faithless you are!”

The man replies “O my Lord!”, and he beseeches God, ever

mighty and majestic is He, until He says: “And will you ask anything

else of Me if I grant it to you?”

“No, by Your Might!” Then he makes whatever commitments

and pledges God wants him to make, and God brings him up to

the gate of Paradise.

When he stands at the gate of Paradise, Paradise itself is opened

out for him, and he will see all the wonderful delights therein. He

keeps silent as God would wish, but then he will cry: “O my Lord,

let me into Paradise!”

God, ever blessed and exalted is He, will reply: “Did you not

make a commitment? Did you not pledge that you would ask for

nothing other than that which you have been given? Woe betide

you, child of Adam, how faithless you are!”

The man replies: “O my Lord, do not make me the most miserable

of Your creatures!”, and he will not cease to entreat Him until

God, ever blessed and exalted is He, laughs at him.

And when God laughs at him, He will say: “Enter into

Paradise.”

Once he is there, God, ever exalted is He, will say: “Make a wish.”

He will ask his Lord and make a wish, with God reminding him

of this and that, until all the wishes come to an end. Then God,

ever mighty and majestic is He, will declare: “You shall have all

that and more besides!”
