Suhaib (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “When the people of Paradise enter Paradise, Allah, the Exalted, will say: ‘Do you want anything more that I may grant you?’ They will say: ‘Have You not brightened our faces? Have You not admitted us to Paradise and saved us from the Fire?’ He said: ‘Then He will lift the veil, and they will look at the Face of Allah. Nothing they are given will be more beloved to them than looking at their Lord.’” Then he recited: “For those who do good is the best reward and more” 1 (Yunus: 26).

(۱) قوله الحسنى: أي المثوبة الحسنى، وهي الجنة. وقوله: «وزيادة» أي النظر لوجهه الكريم، وتنكيرها للتعظيم، أي زيادة عظيمة لا يعرف قدرها، ولا يكتنه كنهها. كذا في «المرقاة».
