عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضى الله عنه، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: قَالَ اللَّهُ: «أَعْدَدْتُ لِعِبَادِي الصَّالِحِينَ مَا لا عَيْنٌ رَأَتْ، وَلا أُذُنٌ سَمِعَتْ، وَلا خَطَرَ عَلَى قَلْبِ بَشَرٍ»، فَاقْرَؤوا إِنْ شِئْتُمْ: ﴿فَلَا تَعْلَمُ نَفْسٌ مَا أُخْفِيَ لَهُمْ مِنْ قُرَّةِ أَعْيُنٍ﴾ [السجدة: 17].
Abu Hurayrah narrated that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said:
1. God said: 2. ‘I have prepared for My devout servants what no eye has ever seen, 3. no ear has ever heard of 4. and no human mind has ever thought of’. 5. Read, if you will: ‘No one can imagine what blissful delights have been kept in store for them as a reward for what they used to do’. (32: 17)
Abu Hurayrah ‘Abd al-Raḥmān ibn Ṣakhr al-Dawsī embraced Islam in the year in which the Battle of Khaybar took place, i.e. Year 7 of the Hijri calendar. He was the Prophet’s companion who narrated the largest number of his hadiths, because he committed himself to remain close to the Prophet. He was keen to learn the Prophet’s hadiths and he remained for a long time in Madinah. He died in Year 58 AH, 678 CE.
