Riyad as-Salihin: Book 19, Hadith 23

Sahl bin Sa’d (May Allah be pleased with him) said: I was in the company of the Prophet (ﷺ). He gave a description of Jannah and concluded with these words, “There will be bounties which no eye has seen, no ear has heard and no human heart has ever perceived.” He (ﷺ) then recited this Verse:”Their sides forsake their beds, to invoke their Rubb in fear and hope, and they spend (in charity in Allah’s Cause) out of what We have bestowed on them. No person knows what is kept hidden for them of joy…” (32:16,17).

وعنه رضي الله عنه قال‏:‏ شهدت من النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم مجلساً وصف فيه الجنة حتى انتهى، ثم قال في آخر حديثه‏:‏ ‏
“‏فيها مالا عين رأت، ولا أذن سمعت، ولا خطر على قلب بشر‏”‏ ثم قرأ ‏{‏تتجافى جنوبهم عن المضاجع‏}‏ إلى قوله تعالى‏:‏ ‏{‏فلا تعلم نفس ما أخفي لهم من قرة أعين‏}‏‏.‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه البخاري‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏
