*The Soil of Paradise*

al-Bukhaari and Muslim reported the hadith of al-Mi'raaj from Anas ibn Maalik from Abu 

Dharr (Radi-Allahu Anhu) in which Abu Dharr (Radi-Allaahu Anhu) said, "The Messenger 

of Allah (Salallahu Alayhi Wasalam) said, "I entered Paradise where I saw lights of pearl 

and its soil was musk". Muslim and Ahmad report from Abu Sa'eed that Ibn Sayyad asked 

the Messenger (Salallahu Alayhi Wasalam) about the soil of Paradise. He said, "It is a fine 

white powder of pure musk".

Ahmad reports from Jaabir ibn 'Abdullaah (Radi-Allahu Anhu) that the Messenger of Allah (Salallahu Alayhi Wasalam) said, concerning the Jews: "I am going to ask them about the 

soil of Paradise, which is a fine white powder." So he asked them, and they said, "It is like a 

loaf of bread, O Abul-Qaasim," The Messenger of Allah (Salallahu Alayhi Wasalam) said, "Bread is like pearls". [an-Nihaayah, 2/242]

Ahmad at-Tirmidhi and ad-Daarimi reported that the Prophet (Salallahu Alayhi Wasalam) 

said, "I asked "O Messenger of Allah (Salallahu Alayhi Wasalam ), From what are people made?" He said, "From water." We asked, "From what is Paradise built?" He said, "Bricks of gold and silver and mortar of fragrant musk; its pebbles are pearls and rubies, and its soil is saffron. Whoever enters it is blessed with joy and will never be miserable; he will remain there forever and never die; his clothes will never wear out, and his youth will never fade away." [Mishkaat al-Masaabeeh, 3/89, no. 5630]
