حَدَّثَنَا سُوَيْدٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، أَخْبَرَنَا رِشْدِينُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ دَرَّاجٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الْهَيْثَمِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " أَدْنَى أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ الَّذِي لَهُ ثَمَانُونَ أَلْفَ خَادِمٍ وَاثْنَتَانِ وَسَبْعُونَ زَوْجَةً وَتُنْصَبُ لَهُ قُبَّةٌ مِنْ لُؤْلُؤٍ وَزَبَرْجَدٍ وَيَاقُوتٍ كَمَا بَيْنَ الْجَابِيَةِ إِلَى صَنْعَاءَ " . وَبِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " مَنْ مَاتَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ مِنْ صَغِيرٍ أَوْ كَبِيرٍ يُرَدُّونَ بَنِي ثَلاَثِينَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ لاَ يَزِيدُونَ عَلَيْهَا أَبَدًا وَكَذَلِكَ أَهْلُ النَّارِ " . وَبِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " إِنَّ عَلَيْهِمُ التِّيجَانَ إِنَّ أَدْنَى لُؤْلُؤَةٍ مِنْهَا لَتُضِيءُ مَا بَيْنَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ إِلاَّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ رِشْدِينَ بْنِ سَعْدٍ .
Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri Narrated from:
The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "The Least Of The People Of Paradise In Position Is The One With Eighty Thousand Servants And Seventy-Two Wives. He Shall Have A Tent Of Pearl, Peridot, And Corundum Set Up For Him, (The Size Of Which Is) Like That Which Is Between Al-Jabiyyah And Sana'A."And With This Chain, It Is Narrated From The Prophet (S.A.W) That He Said: "Whoever Of The People Of (Destined To Enter) Paradise Dies, Young Or Old, They Shall Be Brought Back In Paradise Thirty Years Old, They Will Not Increase In That Ever, And Likewise The People Of The Fire." And With This Chain, It Is Narrated From The Prophet (S.A.W) That He Said: "There Are Upon Them Crowns, The Least Of Its Pearls Would Illuminate What Is Between The East And The West."

Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 2562
This Hadith about the people of Paradise describes amazing rewards, even for the person with the least position there. The text mentions many servants, spouses, and a large tent made of pearl, peridot, and corundum. It also says that those who enter Paradise, young or old, will be brought back as thirty years old and will not increase beyond that. Another part describes crowns, with even the least pearl giving great light. These details are from the unseen, so a believer accepts them as the Prophet described. The main message is that Paradise is full of honor, beauty, youth, and joy beyond normal worldly measure.
What we learn from this hadith
- The least position in Paradise is still described with great honor and beauty.
- People of Paradise are described as being thirty years old and remaining that way.
- The Hadith mentions crowns whose pearls give great light.
- The rewards of Paradise are presented as far greater than ordinary worldly comfort.
