Narrated by At-Tirmidhi · Authentic
عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ رَضيَ اللهُ عنهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «فِي الجَنَّةِ مِائَةُ دَرَجَةٍ مَا بَيْنَ كُلِّ دَرَجَتَيْنِ كَمَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالأَرْضِ، وَالْفِرْدَوْسُ أَعْلاَهَا دَرَجَةً وَمِنْهَا تُفَجَّرُ أَنْهَارُ الجَنَّةِ الأَرْبَعَةُ، وَمِنْ فَوْقِهَا يَكُونُ العَرْشُ، فَإِذَا سَأَلْتُمُ اللَّهَ فَسَلُوهُ الفِرْدَوْسَ».
“‘Ubādah ibn as-Sāmit (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "In Paradise, there are a hundred degrees; the distance between each two degrees is like the distance between the heavens and the earth. The highest of them in degree is Al-Firdaws, and from it flow the four rivers of Paradise, and above it is the Throne. So when you ask Allah, ask Him for Al-Firdaws."”
