Paradise, more beautiful than the first two. He would say: O my Lord! Bring me near this (tree) so that I may enjoy its shade
and drink from its water. I shall not ask Thee for anything else. He (Allah) would say: O son of Adam! Did you not promise
Me that you would not ask Me for anything else? He would say: Yes my Lord, but I shall not ask Thee for anything else. His
Lord would excuse him for He sees something the temptation of which he could not resist. He (Allah) would bring him near it,
and when He brings him near it he would hear the voices of the inhabitants of the Paradise. He would say: O my Lord! Admit
me to it. He (Allah) would say: O son of Adam, what will bring an end to your requests to Me? Will it please you if I give you
the whole world and a similar one with it? He will say: O my Lord! Art Thou mocking at me, though Thou art the Lord of the
worlds? Ibn Mas'ud laughed and asked (the hearers): Why don't you ask me what I am laughing at. They (then) said: Why
do you laugh? He said: It is in this way that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) laughed. They (the companions of
the Holy Prophet) asked: Why do you laugh, Messenger of Allah? He said: On account of the laugh of the Lord of the
universe, when he (the desirer of Paradise) said: Art Thou mocking at me though Thou art the Lord of the worlds? He would
say: I am not mocking at you, but I have the power to do whatever I wish.
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith
Hadith 8.143 Narrated by
Ibn Umar
The Prophet said, "The example of a believer is like a green tree, the leaves of which do not fall." The people said. "It is suchand-such
tree: It is such-and-such tree." I intended to say that it was the date-palm tree, but I was a young boy and felt shy
(to answer). The Prophet said, "It is the date-palm tree." Ibn 'Umar added, "I told that to 'Umar who said, 'Had you said it, I
would have preferred it to such-and such a thing.' " "

convey my salam to your people and tell them that Paradise is a vast plain of pure soil and sweet water and that its trees cry:
Holy is Allah, all praise is due to Allah, there is none worthy of worship save Allah, and Allah is Great.

Al-Tirmidhi Hadith
Hadith 3270 Narrated by
Aisha
Once when Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) was with a number of the Emigrants and Helpers a camel came and
prostrated itself before him. Thereupon his companions said, "Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) beasts and trees
prostrate themselves before you, but we have the greatest right to do so." He replied, "Worship your Lord and honour your
brother. If I were to order anyone to prostrate himself before another, I should order a woman to prostrate herself before her
husband. If he were to order her to convey stones from a yellow mountain to a black one, or from a black mountain to a white
one, it would be incumbent on her to do so."
Ahmad transmitted it.
TREMBLE:
39:23 - Allah has revealed (from time to time) the most beautiful message in the form of a Book
consistent with itself (Yet) repeating (its teaching in various aspects): the skins of those who
fear their Lord tremble thereat; then their skins and their hearts do soften to the celebration of
Allah's praises. Such is the guidance of Allah: He guides therewith whom He pleases but
such as Allah leaves to stray can have none to guide. 4276427742784279
4276 Is Mutashabih here to be understood in the same sense as in iii. 7? See n. 347. The better opinion is that there is a
slightly different shade of meaning here, as suggested by the context. In the earlier passage, it was opposed to
Muhkam: here it is contrasted or compared to Mathani. The root meaning is: 'having something similar; working by
analogy or allegory, or parable; having its parts consistent with each other'. The last meaning I adopt here. The Quran
was revealed in parts at different times. And yet its parts all conform to each other. There is no contradiction or
inconsistency anywhere. (39.23)
4277 Mathani: Cf. xv. 87, where we have translated "oft-repeated": "the seven oft- repeated (verses)". See n. 2008 to that
passage. Here the meaning is similar, but the context gives a different colour to it, as is seen in the translation. (39.23)
4278 The skin is the outer integument of the body. It receives the first shock from the impact of anything unusual, and it
trembles and its hair stands on end under excitement. So in spiritual matters the first stimulation from Allah's Message
is external. Those who receive Faith do it as it were with tremor and not with apathy. But the next stage is that it
penetrates their outer nature and goes right into their hearts. Their whole nature is "softened" to receive the beneficent
Message, and it transforms them through and through. (39.23)
4279 "Whom He pleases" and "leaves to stray" are explained fully in n. 2133 to xvi. 93. See also xiv. 4 and n. 1875. (39.23)
25:12 – When it sees them from a place far off they will hear its fury and its raging sigh. 3067
