حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ أَبْجَرَ عَنْ ثُوَيْرِ بْنِ أَبِي فَاخِتَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ أَدْنَى أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ مَنْزِلَةً لَيَنْظُرُ فِي مُلْكِ أَلْفَيْ سَنَةٍ يَرَى أَقْصَاهُ كَمَا يَرَى أَدْنَاهُ يَنْظُرُ فِي أَزْوَاجِهِ وَخَدَمِهِ وَإِنَّ أَفْضَلَهُمْ مَنْزِلَةً لَيَنْظُرُ فِي وَجْهِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى كُلَّ يَوْمٍ مَرَّتَيْنِ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 4623
It was narrated that Ibn 'Umar said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: "The lowest of the people of Paradise in status will look at (enjoy) a domain the size of which is two thousand years' (distance), and he will be able to see the furthest point of it as clearly as he sees the nearest point of it, and he will look at his wives and servants. And the highest of them, in status will gaze upon the Countenance of Allah (PBUH) twice each day.”
