The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "The distance between the two panels of the gates of Paradise is the span of forty years’ journey." This hadith is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri, Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah bin Haydah, Sayyiduna Utbah bin Ghazwan, and Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with them).

Sayyiduna Ubada bin Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Paradise has one hundred levels, and between every two levels is a distance of one hundred years." In his narration, Affan said: "As much as the distance between the sky and the earth." The highest place in the level is Firdaus; from it four rivers flow, and above it is the Throne. Whenever you ask Allah, then ask for Firdaus.

It is narrated from Umm al-Mu'minin Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "I entered Paradise and saw two ranks of Zayd bin Amr bin Nufayl."

Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that Sayyiduna Harithah bin Suraqah (may Allah be pleased with him) went out for reconnaissance, when suddenly an arrow struck him and he was martyred. His mother said: O Messenger of Allah (23-al-Mu’minun:1)! You know what position Harithah held with me. If he is in Paradise, I will be patient, otherwise you will see what I do (in his separation). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Umm Harithah! Paradise is not just one, but there are many Paradises, and (your son) Harithah is in the best part of Paradise, or in Jannat al-Firdaws."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id both as a mawquf and marfu' narration that "Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, created Paradise (the manner of its construction was that) one brick was of gold, one brick was of silver, and the mortar was of musk. Allah, the Exalted, said to it: Speak. It said: «قَدْ أَفْلَحَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ» 'Indeed, the believers have succeeded' (23:1, Al-Mu’minun). The angels said: (O Paradise!) Glad tidings to you, you are the abode of kings."

Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I entered Paradise and suddenly saw a palace made of gold. I asked: Whose palace is this? They said: It is for a young man from the Quraysh. I thought it would be mine (because I am from the Quraysh). Anyway, I asked: Who is that Qurayshi? They said: It is ‘Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him). Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Umar! If it were not for your sense of honor and modesty, I would have surely entered it.' Sayyiduna ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah! Could I ever feel any sense of honor against you?"

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Tuba is the name of a tree in Paradise, the distance of its (shade) is a hundred years, and the garments of the people of Paradise are made from the sheaths of its buds."

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) says: In Paradise, all things only resemble worldly things in name (not in reality).

Sayyiduna Utbah bin Abd Salma (may Allah be pleased with him) says that I was sitting with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), when a Bedouin came and said, "O Messenger of Allah! I heard you mention the tree in Paradise called babool or keekar (acacia tree). I think that is the tree with the most thorns among us (its pricks are very painful, so what is the point of such a tree in Paradise)?" The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Allah, the Exalted, will create in place of every thorn something like the testicle of a castrated goat, and in it will be seventy kinds of food, and each one will have a color different from the other."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Firdaws is the hill (elevated place) of Paradise; it is the highest, most superior, and most beautiful and excellent part of Paradise."
