It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we said in the presence of the Messenger of Allah, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), when we visit you, our hearts become soft and we become among the people of the Hereafter, but when we leave you, the world becomes dear to us and we long for our women and children." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "If you were to remain in the same state at all times as you are when you are with me, the angels would shake hands with you with their own hands and would come to visit you in your homes. And if you did not commit sins, Allah would bring a people who would commit sins so that Allah could forgive them." We said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), tell us something about Paradise, how is it built?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "One brick is of gold and one brick is of silver, its mortar is pure musk, its pebbles are pearls and rubies, and its soil is saffron. Whoever enters it will always be in bliss and comfort, will never be distressed, will remain forever, will never die, his clothes will never wear out, and his youth will never fade." There are three people whose supplication is never rejected: a just ruler, a fasting person until he breaks his fast, and the supplication of the oppressed. It rises above the clouds, the gates of the heavens are opened for it, and Allah says, 'By My honor, I will surely help you, even if after some time.'"
