It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, concerning the saying of Allah Almighty: "As if they were rubies and coral" [Surah al-Rahman: 58] : "(The man of Paradise) will see his face in the cheek of the houri more clearly than in a mirror; the least pearl upon her will light up everything between the east and the west; and upon her will be seventy garments, through which he (the man of Paradise) will be able to see even the marrow of her shin." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) concerning the saying of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic: "And His Throne was upon the water" [Surah Hud: 7] , that he said: "The Throne of Allah was upon the water; then He made a garden for Himself, and below it He made another garden; then He covered them both with a single pearl. So Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, said: 'And besides these two there are two (other) gardens' [Surah al-Rahman: 62] ." Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: "This is the garden whose blessings the creation does not know, and it is the garden about which Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, said: 'No soul knows what comfort for the eyes has been kept hidden for them as a reward for what they used to do' [Surah al-Sajdah: 17] ; and every day a new gift will keep coming to them from there." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.
