وَحَدَّثَنِي الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْحُلْوَانِيُّ، وَحَجَّاجُ بْنُ الشَّاعِرِ، كِلاَهُمَا عَنْ أَبِي عَاصِمٍ، - قَالَ حَسَنٌ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ، - عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ، عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " يَأْكُلُ أَهْلُ الْجَنَّةِ فِيهَا وَيَشْرَبُونَ وَلاَ يَتَغَوَّطُونَ وَلاَ يَمْتَخِطُونَ وَلاَ يَبُولُونَ وَلَكِنْ طَعَامُهُمْ ذَاكَ جُشَاءٌ كَرَشْحِ الْمِسْكِ يُلْهَمُونَ التَّسْبِيحَ وَالْحَمْدَ كَمَا يُلْهَمُونَ النَّفَسَ " . قَالَ وَفِي حَدِيثِ حَجَّاجٍ " طَعَامُهُمْ ذَلِكَ " .
Jabir bin `Abdullah Narrated from:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said that the inmates of Paradise would eat therein and they would also drink, but they would neither void excrement, nor suffer catarrh, nor pass water, and their eating (would be digested) in the form of belching and their sweat would be musk aged they would glorify and praise Allah as easily ai you breathe.

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 2835c
This hadith about clean enjoyment in Paradise repeats the meaning that the people of Jannah will eat and drink, but not in a way that leads to impurity. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said they will not pass stool, suffer catarrh, or urinate. Their food will be digested through belching, and their sweat will be musk. The hadith then gives a spiritual detail: they will be inspired to say tasbih and hamd as naturally as breathing. This makes the picture of Paradise more than food and comfort. It is joy joined with remembrance. The people of Paradise receive pure pleasure, fine fragrance, and an easy flow of praise to Allah.
What we learn from this hadith
- Eating and drinking in Paradise are described without worldly impurity.
- The result of food is described as belching and musk-like sweat.
- Tasbih and praise will come naturally to the people of Paradise.
