Riyad as-Salihin, 1881
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) said:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Allah, the Exalted, has said: 'I have prepared for my righteous slaves what no eye has seen, no ear has heard, and the mind of no man has conceived.' If you wish, recite: 'No person knows what is kept hidden for them of joy as a reward for what they used to do."' (32:17) <b>[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]</b>.
وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : "قال الله تعالى أعددت لعبادي الصالحين ما لا عين رأت ولا أذن سمعت ولا خطر على قلب بشر، واقرؤوا إن شئتم: {فلا تعلم نفس ما أخفي لهم من قرة أعين جزاء بما كانوا يعملون} ((السجدة:17)) ((متفق عليه)).

<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br>
1) It points out the great bliss in Paradise. Allah Almighty has made its bliss partially known to His servants so as to increase their desire and longing for it. {Whoever hopes to meet Allah, the time appointed by Allah is sure to come.}<br>
2) The dwellers of Paradise will get a reward similar to their actions. As they concealed their worship of Allah in worldly life and performed it sincerely, He has concealed for them the bliss of the Hereafter.
