Narrated by At-Tirmidhi and Ibn Mājah · Hasan

عَنْ ‌الزُّبَيْرِ بْنِ الْعَوَّامِ قَالَ: لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ: {ثُمَّ لَتُسْأَلُنَّ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَنِ النَّعِيمِ} [التكاثر: 8]، قَالَ الزُّبَيْرُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، وَأَيُّ النَّعِيمِ نُسْأَلُ عَنْهُ، وَإِنَّمَا هُمَا الْأَسْوَدَانِ التَّمْرُ وَالْمَاءُ؟ قَالَ: «أَمَا إِنَّهُ سَيَكُونُ».

“Az-Zubayr ibn al-‘Awwām reported: When the following verse was revealed {Then, on that Day, you will definitely be questioned about your worldly pleasures.} [Surat at-Takāthur: 8], Az-Zubayr said: "O Messenger of Allah, which pleasures will we be asked about; there are only the two black things: dates and water?" He said: "This will certainly come."”
