The Beautiful Apartments of Jannah
عن عبد الله بن عمرو أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: إن في الجنة غرفة يرى ظاهرها من باطنها وباطنها من ظاهرها فقال أبو موسى الأشعري: لمن هي يا رسول الله قال: لمن ألان الكلام وأطعم الطعام وبات لله قائما والناس نيام (مجمع الزوائد، الرقم: 7864)
Hazrat ‘Abdullah bin ‘Amr (radhiyallahu ‘anhuma) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “Indeed, in Jannah, there will be (beautiful) apartments whose outside can be seen from the inside, and whose inside can be seen from the outside.” Hearing this, Hazrat Abu Musa Ash‘ari (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) enquired, “O Rasul of Allah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam)! Who will receive these apartments?” Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) replied, “They are for those who are polite and gentle in their speech, feed people, and spend the night standing (in nafl salaah) for the pleasure of Allah Ta‘ala while people are asleep.”
