حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، يَبْلُغُ بِهِ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى أَعْدَدْتُ لِعِبَادِي الصَّالِحِينَ مَا لاَ عَيْنٌ رَأَتْ وَلاَ أُذُنٌ سَمِعَتْ وَلاَ خَطَرَ عَلَى قَلْبِ بَشَرٍ وَتَصْدِيقُ ذَلِكَ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ : ( فلاَ تَعْلَمُ نَفْسٌ مَا أُخْفِيَ لَهُمْ مِنْ قُرَّةِ أَعْيُنٍ جَزَاءً بِمَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ ) " . قَالَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ .
Abu Hurairah Narrated from:
The Prophet (ﷺ) Said: "Allah Most High Said: 'I Have Prepared For My Righteous Worshipers What No Eye Has Seen, No Ear Has Heard, And No Human Heart Has Conceived.'" And That Is Testified To In Allah'S [The Mighty And Sublime] Book:No Person Knows What Is Kept Hidden For Them Of Delights Of The Eyes (32:17).

Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 3197
This hadith gives a beautiful description of what Allah has prepared for His righteous worshipers. The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) reported that Allah said He has prepared what no eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no human heart has imagined. The hadith then says this is supported by the Qur'anic verse: No person knows what is kept hidden for them of delights of the eyes. The message is not to describe Paradise in full detail, because the text itself says its hidden delight is beyond human experience. It invites hope, righteous action, and trust that Allah's reward is greater than what people can picture.
What we learn from this hadith
- Paradise contains delights beyond human sight, hearing, and imagination.
- The reward is prepared for Allah's righteous worshipers.
- The hadith is connected to Qur'an 32:17.
- A believer should keep hope in Allah's hidden reward.
