حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " إِنَّ فِي الْجَنَّةِ غُرَفًا تُرَى ظُهُورُهَا مِنْ بُطُونِهَا وَبُطُونُهَا مِنْ ظُهُورِهَا " . فَقَامَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ فَقَالَ لِمَنْ هِيَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ " لِمَنْ أَطَابَ الْكَلاَمَ وَأَطْعَمَ الطَّعَامَ وَأَدَامَ الصِّيَامَ وَصَلَّى لِلَّهِ بِاللَّيْلِ وَالنَّاسُ نِيَامٌ " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ إِلاَّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ . وَقَدْ تَكَلَّمَ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْحَدِيثِ فِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ هَذَا مِنْ قِبَلِ حِفْظِهِ وَهُوَ كُوفِيٌّ وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْقُرَشِيُّ مَدَنِيٌّ وَهُوَ أَثْبَتُ مِنْ هَذَا وَكِلاَهُمَا كَانَا فِي عَصْرٍ وَاحِدٍ .
'Ali Narrated from:
The Messenger of Allah said: "Indeed In Paradise There Are Chambers, Whose Outside Can Be Seen From Their Inside, And Their Inside Can Be Seen From Their Outside." A Bedouin Stood And Said : 'Who Are They For, O Messenger Of Allah?" He Said: "For Those Who Speak Well, Feed Others, Fast Regularly, And Perform Salat [For Allah] During The Night While The People Sleep."

Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 1984
This Hadith describes beautiful chambers in Paradise whose outside can be seen from inside, and whose inside can be seen from outside. When a Bedouin asked who they are for, the Prophet mentioned four deeds: speaking well, feeding others, fasting regularly, and praying to Allah at night while people sleep. The Hadith about chambers in Paradise connects reward with daily character and worship. It includes both how a person treats others and how a person worships Allah privately. Speaking well and feeding food benefit people. Fasting and night prayer show devotion to Allah. The Hadith encourages a balanced life of kind speech, generosity, fasting, and prayer.
What we learn from this hadith
- Good speech is linked with a noble reward.
- Feeding others is praised in this Hadith.
- Regular fasting is mentioned as a blessed deed.
- Night prayer while people sleep is a sign of sincere worship.
