Hazrat Mujahid says that the soil of Paradise is of silver, its earth is of musk, the roots of its trees are of gold and silver, its branches are of pearls, chrysolite, and ruby, its leaves and fruits are beneath it; whoever eats standing will not be harmed, whoever eats sitting will not be harmed, and whoever eats lying down will not be harmed either. Then he recited { وَذُلِّلَتْ قُطُوفُہَا تَذْلِیلاً }.

It is narrated from Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about Paradise, what is it like? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever enters Paradise will live forever, he will not die; the blessings he receives will never end; his clothes will not wear out, nor will his youth fade (become old). He (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked: What is its construction like? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Its bricks are of gold and silver, its mortar is musk, its branches are pearls and jewels, and its soil is saffron.

Ibn Sayyad asked the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) about the soil of Paradise. He (peace be upon him) said: It is of white flour and pure musk.

Hazrat Hakeem bin Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that Allah Almighty has touched only three things with His own hand: He planted the trees of Paradise with His own hand, its soil is of wars and saffron, and its mountains are made of musk. He created Hazrat Adam with His own hand. For Hazrat Musa (peace be upon him), He wrote the Torah with His own hand.

Hazrat Abdullah says that the rivers of Paradise flow from a mountain of musk.

Hazrat Masruq (may Allah be pleased with him) says that the rivers of Paradise flow without wells (pits), and its fruits are like baskets; whenever a fruit is picked, another fruit takes its place. The cluster of its grapes is twelve cubits long.

Hazrat Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) said that grapes have spread farther than Sana'a.

Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the date-palm of Paradise will be such that their clothes and small garments will be made from it. He said that the fruit of Paradise will have no pit.

36666 - He said: And Ibn Abbas said: And its fruit has no pit (1).

Hazrat Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) says regarding Sidrat al-Muntaha that it is in the middle of Paradise; upon it is clothing of fine and thick silk.
