Chapters on the description of Paradise

Jāmiʿ at-Tirmidhī 2538

لَوْ أَنَّ مَا يُقِلُّ ظُفُرٌ مِمَّا فِي الْجَنَّةِ بَدَا لَتَزَخْرَفَتْ لَهُ مَا بَيْنَ خَوَافِقِ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ وَلَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلاً مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ اطَّلَعَ فَبَدَا أَسَاوِرُهُ لَطَمَسَ ضَوْءَ الشَّمْسِ كَمَا تَطْمِسُ الشَّمْسُ ضَوْءَ النُّجُومِ

law anna mā yuqillu ẓufurun mimmā fī al-jannah badā latazakhrafat lah mā bayna khawāfiqi as-samawāti wa-l-arḍi walaw anna rajulan min ahli al-jannah āṭṭalaʿa fabadā asāwiruhu laṭamasa ḍawʾa ash-shamsi kamā taṭmisu ash-shamsu ḍawʾa an-nujūmi

The full narration

Dawud bin Amir bin Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas narrated from his father, from his grandfather that the Prophet (s.a.w) said:"If as little as what can be placed on a fingernail of what is in Paradise were to become apparent, it would have beautified all the far corners of the heavens and the earth. And if a man among the people of Paradise were to appear and his bracelets were to become apparent, it would have blotted out the light of the sun, as the sun blots out the light of the stars
