some work for it. The most delightful thing would be to have a meal
set before us as soon as it came into our minds and not to have to
prepare it ourselves. However, such a thing is impossible within the
limitations of this world. However, in the Garden, the most pleasing
blessings are offered to human beings without their having to make a
purchase, or spend time and effort in the process of preparing them.
We have an example of this in the hadith:
If on seeing a bird, one desires to eat its meat, it will immediately
be brought, tastily fried. (Buyuk Hadis Kulliyati (Great Ahadith
Collection), Cem'ul-Fevaid min Cami'il-usul and Mecma'iz-zevaid,
Imam Muhammad ibn Muhammad ibn Sulayman ar-Rudani, vol. 5, p. 414/10123)
The following hadith of our Prophet is reported in one account:
… eating the flesh of the bird comes to the mind of that person, at
which various meats arrive before him. The people of the Garden eat as
much of that as they wish. When they are replete, the bones of the
birds are gathered up. It then flies, and begins to feed in the Garden
as it wishes. (Mukhtasar Tadhkirah, al-Qurtubi, p. 58)
Again, because a person can do many things he wants in the Garden, the
Prophet told us that he can engage in agriculture not out of necessity
but for the sake of pleasure:
Abu Hurayra, may Allah be pleased with him, recounted: "While the
Prophet was preaching one day, a Bedouin was present when he said:
'There was a man in the Garden who sought permission from Allah to
engage in cultivation, so Allah asked him, 'Do you not have what you
wish?' The man answered: 'Yes, but I like to cultivate.' Allah granted
him leave, so he rushed to plant the seed; then, he watched to see
what happens and within the blink of an eye, the seed grew into a huge
tree with fruits as big as a mountain…" (Sahih al- Bukhari)
Allah will say, "This is the Day when the sincerity of the sincere
will benefit them. They will have Gardens with rivers flowing under
them, remaining in them rimelessly, for ever and ever. Allah is
pleased with them and they are pleased with Him. That is the Great
Victory." (Surat al-Ma'ida: 119)
