حَدَّثَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ مَيْسَرَةَ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ عَطَائِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ أَنَّ مُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ الْجَنَّةُ مِائَةُ دَرَجَةٍ کُلُّ دَرَجَةٍ مِنْهَا مَا بَيْنَ السَّمَائِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَإِنَّ أَعْلَاهَا الْفِرْدَوْسُ وَإِنَّ أَوْسَطَهَا الْفِرْدَوْسُ وَإِنَّ الْعَرْشَ عَلَی الْفِرْدَوْسِ مِنْهَا تُفَجَّرُ أَنْهَارُ الْجَنَّةِ فَإِذَا مَا سَأَلْتُمْ اللَّهَ فَسَلُوهُ الْفِرْدَوْسَ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 4331
Mu'adh bin Jabal said. "I heard the Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H say. 'Paradise has one hundre-d grades, each of which is as big as the distance between heaven and earth. The highest of them is Firdaws and the best of them is Firdaws. The Throne is above Firdaws and from it spring forth the rivers of Paradise. If you ask of Allah, ask Him for Firdaws.'" (Sahih)
