حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ الْبُنَانِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ صُهَيْبٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّّ : (لِلََّذِينَ أَحْسَنُوا الْحُسْنَى وَزِيَادَةٌ ) قَالَ " إِذَا دَخَلَ أَهْلُ الْجَنَّةِ الْجَنَّةَ نَادَى مُنَادٍ إِنَّ لَكُمْ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ مَوْعِدًا يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُنْجِزَكُمُوهُ قَالُوا أَلَمْ تُبَيِّضْ وُجُوهَنَا وَتُنَجِّنَا مِنَ النَّارِ وَتُدْخِلْنَا الْجَنَّةَ قَالَ فَيُكْشَفُ الْحِجَابُ . قَالَ فَوَاللَّهِ مَا أَعْطَاهُمُ اللَّهُ شَيْئًا أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِمْ مِنَ النَّظَرِ إِلَيْهِ " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ حَمَّادِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ هَكَذَا رَوَى غَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ مَرْفُوعًا . وَرَوَى سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى قَوْلَهُ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ فِيهِ عَنْ صُهَيْبٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم .
Suhaib Narrated from:
Narrated Suhaib: From The Prophet (ﷺ), Regarding The Saying Of Allah Most High:And For Those Who Have Done Good Is The Best And Even More (10:26)- He (ﷺ) Said: "When The Inhabitants Of Paradise Have Entered Paradise A Caller Will Call Out: 'Indeed There Remains For You A Promise With Allah, And He Wants To Reward You With It.' They Will Say: 'Have Your Faces Not Been Made Bright, Have We Not Been Saved From The Fire, And Have We Not Been Admitted Into Paradise?'" He Said: "So The Veil Will Be Lifted." He Said: "By Allah! Nothing Given To Them [By Allah] Will Be More Beloved To Them Than Looking At Him."

Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 3105
This Hadith about seeing Allah in Paradise explains the verse: for those who have done good is the best and even more. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم described the people of Paradise after they enter it. A caller announces that there remains a promise with Allah that He wants to fulfill for them. They mention the blessings already given: bright faces, safety from the Fire, and entrance into Paradise. Then the veil is lifted. The narration says that nothing given to them by Allah will be more beloved to them than looking at Him. The explanation should stay with what the Hadith says: it speaks about the people of Paradise, Allah's promise, and the joy of looking at Him.
What we learn from this hadith
- Paradise includes safety from the Fire and honor from Allah.
- The verse's 'even more' is explained here as looking at Allah.
- The people of Paradise recognize the blessings already given to them.
- The Hadith shows that this promised reward is beloved to the people of Paradise.
