Chairs of light and chairs of pearls and chairsof rubies and chairs of chrysolite and chairs of gold and chairs ofsilver will be placed for them. Those who are of a lower status thanthem, and none of them will be regarded as insignificant, will sit onsandhills of musk and camphor, and they will not feel that those whoare sitting on chairs are seated better than them."Abu Hurairah said: "I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, will we see our Lord?' He said: 'Yes. Do you dispute that you see the sun and the moon on the night when it is full?' We said: 'No.' He said: 'Likewise, you will not dispute that you see your Lord, the Glorified. There will be no one left in that gathering with whom Allah does not speak face to face, until He will say to a man among you: "Do you not remember, O so-and-so, the day you did such and such?" And He will remind him of some of his sins in this world. He will say: "O Lord, have You not forgiven me?" He will say: "Yes, it is by the vastness of My forgiveness that You have reached the position you are in." While they are like that, a cloud will cover them from above and will rain down on them perfume the like of whose fragrance they have never smelled before. Then He will say: "Get up and go to the honor that has been prepared for you, and take whatever you desire." So we will go to a marketplace surrounded by the angels, in which there will be such things as eyes have never seen, ears have never heard and it has not entered the heart of man. Whatever we desire will be carried for us. Nothing will be bought or sold therein. In that marketplace the people of Paradise will meet one another. A man of elevated status will meet those who are of lower status than him, but none shall be regarded as insignificant, and he will be dazzled by the clothes that he sees on him. He will not finish the last of his conversation before better clothes appear on him. That is because no one should be sad there.'""He said: 'Then we will go back to our homes where we will be met by our wives, and they will say: 'Welcome.
