Musnad Ahmed

26. 'Musnad of Abdullah bin Mas''ood'

مسند احمد

3876

Its isnad is saheeh, Muslim (187)]

It was narrated from Ibn Mas'ood (رضي الله عنه) that

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "The last person to enter Paradise will be a man. He will walk once, crawl once, and the Fire will rise above him once. When he has crossed it, he will turn to it and say: ‘Blessed be the One Who has saved me from you. Allah has given me that which was not given to anyone of the first and the last. Then a tree will be raised for him and he will say: 'O Lord, bring me close to this tree, so that I might seek its shade and drink from its water," Allah will say to him: "O son of Adam, perhaps if I give it to you, you will ask Me for something else.' He will say: ‘No, O Lord,’ and he will promise Him that he will not ask Him for anything else, and his Lord will excuse him, because he is seeing that which he has no patience to refrain from asking for. So He will bring him close to it and he will seek its shade and drink its water. Then (another) tree will be raised up for him that is more beautiful than the first one. He will say: 'O Lord, (bring me close to) this one, so I may drink from its water and seek its shade, and I will not ask You for anything else. He will say: 'O son of Adam, did you not promise Me that you would not ask Me for anything else? Perhaps if I bring you close to it, you will ask Me for something else? And he will make a promise to Him not to ask Him for anything else, and his Lord will excuse him, because he is seeing that which he has no patience to refrain from asking for. So He will bring him close to it and he will seek its shade and drink its water. Then a tree will be raised up for him at the gate of Paradise, and it will be more beautiful than the first two. He will say: 'O Lord, bring me close to this tree, so that I might seek its shade and drink from its water, and I will not ask You for anything else.' He will say: ‘O son of Adam, did you not promise Me that you would not ask Me for anything else?" He will say: "Yes indeed, O Lord, (bring me close to) this one, and I will not ask You for anything else." He will say: ‘Perhaps if I bring you close to it, you will ask Me for something else?" And he will make a promise to Him not to ask Him for anything else, and his Lord will excuse him, because he is seeing that which he has no patience to refrain from asking for. So He will bring him close to it, and when He brings him close to it, he will hear the voices of the people of Paradise, and he will say: 'O Lord, admit me to it. He will say: 'O son of Adam, what will make you stop asking of Me? would it please you if I give you of Paradise the equivalent of the world and as much again?" He will say: 'O Lord, are you mocking me, when You are the Lord of the Worlds?” Ibn Mas'ood smiled and said: Why don't you ask me why I am smiling? They said: Why are you smiling? He said: Because the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) smiled, then the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to us: "Why don't you ask me why I am smiling?" They said: Why are you smiling, O Messenger of Allah? He said: "Because the Lord smiled when he said, "Are you mocking me, when You are the Lord of the Worlds?" and He will say: “I am not mocking you, but I am able to do whatever l will."
