We were narrated by Sa‘id ibn ‘Amr al-Ash‘athi: Sufyan ibn ‘Uyaynah narrated to us, from Mutarrif and Ibn Abjar, from al-Sha‘bi, who said: I heard al-Mughirah ibn Shu‘bah narrating, God willing. And we were narrated by Ibn Abi ‘Umar: Sufyan narrated to us: Mutarrif ibn Tarif and ‘Abd al-Malik ibn Sa‘id narrated to us, both having heard al-Sha‘bi reporting from al-Mughirah ibn Shu‘bah, who said: I heard him on the pulpit raising it to the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace. And Bishr ibn al-Hakam narrated to me—and the wording is his—: Sufyan ibn ‘Uyaynah narrated to us: Mutarrif and Ibn Abjar narrated to us, both having heard al-Sha‘bi saying: I heard al-Mughirah ibn Shu‘bah reporting it to the people on the pulpit. Sufyan said: One of them raised it [to the Prophet]—I think it was Ibn Abjar—: Moses asked his Lord: What is the lowest station of the people of Paradise? He said: A man who comes after the people of Paradise have entered Paradise, and it is said to him: Enter Paradise. He says: O Lord, how, when the people have already taken their places and received their portions? It is said to him: Would you be pleased to have the like of the kingdom of a king among the kings of this world? He says: I am pleased, my Lord. He says: You shall have that, and its like, and its like, and its like, and its like. He said: At the fifth, he says: I am pleased, my Lord. He says: This is yours, and ten times its like, and yours is whatever your soul desires and whatever delights your eye. He says: I am pleased, my Lord. He said: And the highest of them in station? He said: Those are the ones I intended—I planted their honor with My own hand and sealed it, so no eye has seen, no ear has heard, and it has not occurred to any human heart. He said: And its confirmation in the Book of God, mighty and majestic: "No soul knows what is hidden for them of comfort for the eyes" —the verse.
