حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عُمَرَ الضَّرِيرُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " إِنَّ فِي الْجَنَّةِ شَجَرَةً يَسِيرُ الرَّاكِبُ فِي ظِلِّهَا مِائَةَ سَنَةٍ لاَ يَقْطَعُهَا " . وَاقْرَءُوا إِنْ شِئْتُمْ {وَظِلٍّ مَمْدُودٍ * وَمَاءٍ مَسْكُوبٍ ) .

Summary of Sunan Ibn Majah Hadith 4335

The narration then points to the verse about long-extended shade. The text is simple, and it gives a clear image of the vast comfort of Jannah. It is not a lesson about trees in this world, and it does not list every tree in Paradise. It focuses on one amazing shade prepared in Paradise. For those searching for “tree in Paradise Hadith” or “shade in Jannah Hadith,” the main message is that the comfort of Paradise is far wider than what people normally know.
