عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ رضي الله عنه قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَقِيتُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ لَيْلَةَ أُسْرِيَ بِي فَقَالَ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ، أَقْرِئْ أُمَّتَكَ مِنِّي السَّلاَمَ، وَأَخْبِرْهُمْ أَنَّ الجَنَّةَ طَيِّبَةُ التُّرْبَةِ عَذْبَةُ الْمَاءِ، وَأَنَّهَا قِيعَانٌ، وَأَنَّ غِرَاسَهَا سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَالحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَلاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ».
Translation
Ibn Mas‘ūd (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I met Ibrāhīm (Abraham) on the night I was taken for a journey, and he said: O Muhammad, convey my greetings of peace to your Ummah and tell them that Paradise has pure soil and sweet water. It is vast plain lands and its seedlings are: Subhānallāh (glory be to Allah), Al-hamdulillāh (praise be to Allah), La ilāha illallāh (there is no god but Allah), and Allāhu Akbar (Allah is the Greatest)."
Explanation
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) states that he met Abraham, Al-Khalīl, (peace be upon him) on the Night of Isrā’ and Mi'rāj, and he said to him: O Muhammad, convey my greetings of peace to your Ummah and inform them that Paradise has a pleasant soil and sweet water that is not salty. Tell them that Paradise is spacious, plain, and treeless. Its seedlings are the good words, which are the lasting righteous deeds: Subhānallāh (glory be to Allah), Al-hamdulillāh (praise be to Allah), La ilāha illallāh (there is no god but Allah), and Allāhu Akbar (Allah is the Greatest). Whenever the Muslim says and repeats them, a seedling is planted for him in Paradise.
Benefits
- Encouraging the act of making Dhikr recurrently to increase the seedlings planted in Paradise.
- The superiority of the Muslim Nation, as Abraham (peace be upon him) sent them his greeting of peace.
- Abraham (peace be upon him) encouraged the Ummah of Muhammad (peace be upon him) to remember Allah Almighty frequently.
- At-Taybi said: Paradise is vast plain lands; then Allah Almighty created therein, by His favor, trees and palaces according to the worshippers' deeds. Every worshipper will get what has been specifically prepared for him because of his deeds, and since Allah Almighty has made it easy for him to perform the deeds that he was created for to get rewarded, therefore, He considers him like the one who plants such trees.
Explanation: العربية
يُخْبِرُ النبيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أنَّه لَقِي إبراهيمَ الخليلَ عليه السلام ليلة الإسراء والمعراج، فقال له يا محمد: أَوْصِل أُمتَك مني السلام، وأَعْلِمْهم أنّ الجنة طيبة التُّرْبة، عذبة الماء لا ملوحة فيه، وأن الجنة واسعة مُسْتَوية خالية من الشجر، وغرسها الكلمات الطيبات، وهنَّ الباقيات الصالحات: سُبْحَانَ اللهِ، وَالحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ، وَلاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ، وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ، كلما قالها المُسلم وكَرَّرَها غُرس له غَرْسٌ في الجنة.
- الحث على مداومة الذِّكر للإكثار من غِرَاس الجنة.
- فضل الأمة الإسلامية؛ حيث بَلَّغَها السلامَ إبراهيمُ عليه الصلاة والسلامُ.
- ترغيب إبراهيم عليه السلام أمة محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم في الإكثار من ذكر الله تعالى.
- قال الطيبي: الجنة قيعان، ثم إن الله تعالى أوجد بفضله فيها أشجارًا وقصورًا بحسب أعمال العاملين؛ لكل عامل ما يختص به بسبب عمله، ثم إنه تعالى لما يَسَّره لما خُلِق له من العمل لِينال بذلك الثواب جعله كالغارس لتلك الأشجار.
