Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “The lowest of the people of Paradise will have eighty thousand servants and seventy-two wives. A dome of pearl, peridot, and ruby will be set up for him, as vast as the distance between Al-Jabiyah and Sana’a. With this chain, he said: ‘Whoever dies among the people of Paradise, young or old, will be returned 1 to the age of thirty in Paradise and will never grow older. The same applies to the people of the Fire.’ With this chain, he said: ‘They will have crowns, the smallest pearl of which would illuminate what is between the East and the West.’”

Note 1
(1) His statement: “returned to the age of thirty in Paradise”: meaning they become so. Al-Tayyibi said: If you ask how this reconciles with Muslim’s narration from Abu Hurairah in the Chapter on Crying that the young of Paradise are its “crawling creatures,” meaning they enter their abodes without being restricted from places as in this world, I say: “in Paradise” is an adverbial clause for “returned,” and it does not imply they were not crawling creatures before being returned. (As stated in Al-Mirqat)

(۱) قوله: يردون بني ثلاثين في الجنة: أي يصيرون. قال الطيبي (رحمه الله) فإن قلت: ما التوفيق بين هذا الحديث وبين ما رواه مسلم عن أبي هريرة في باب البكاء صغارهم دعاميص الجنة، أي داخلون على منازلهم لا يمنعون من موضع كما في الدنيا. قلت: «في الجنة» ظرف لـ «يردون»، وهو لا يشعر أنهم لم يكونوا دعاميص قبل الرد. كذا في «المرقاة».
