Hadith ~ The last of the people to enter the Garden

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

Ibn Mas'ud stated that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "I know who will be last of the people of the Fire to come out of it and the last of the people of the Garden to enter the Garden. A man will emerge from the Fire crawling and Allah Almighty will say to him, 'Go and enter the Garden.' He will come to it, imagine that it is full and return and say, 'My Lord, I found it full.' Allah Almighty will say to him, 'Go and enter the Garden.' He will come to it and imagine that it is full and return and say, 'My Lord, I found it full." Allah Almighty will say to him, 'Go and enter the Garden. You will have the same as this world and ten times more - or you will have the same as it ten times over.' He will say, 'Are You making fun of me - or laughing at me - when You are the King?'" Ibn Mas'ud said, "I saw the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, laugh until his molars showed. He was saying, 'That will be the position of the least of the people of the Garden.'" [Agreed upon]
