Dweller's of Jannah (Paradise)



Dweller's of Jannah (Paradise)
Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Prophet Muhammad PBUH) said:
…..As for the tall man in the garden (in Jannah), that was Ibrahim (PBUH), and the children around him were those children who passed away on ‘fitrah’ (natural disposition ie. Iman). So some Sahabah asked: ‘O Messenger of Allah, what about the children of the polytheists? Prophet (PBUH) replied, ‘The children of the polytheists as well’ (ie. they too are in Jannah)
[Sahih Bukhari, Hadith: 7047]
The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is reported to have said:
‘The Anbiya (Prophets), martyrs, infants, and children who were buried alive will all be in Jannah’
[Sunan Abi Dawud, Hadith: 2521 and Musnad Ahmad, vol. 5 pg. 58 with a sound chain. See Fathul Bari, under Hadith: 1385]
Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said:
‘Every child is born on ‘fitrah’ (the natural inclination to Islam), however the child’s parents make him a Jew or Christian…’
[Sahih Bukhari, Hadith: 1385 and Sahih Muslim, Hadith: 2658]
‘Abdullah ibn ‘Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) says:
"The children of the polytheists will be in Jannah, whomsoever claims that they will go to Jahannam is mistaken. He then recited the verse ‘ When the child buried alive will be questioned, for which crime were you murdered?'"
[Tafsir Ibn Abi Hatim; Tafsir ibn Kathir, Surah: 81 Verses: 8 and 9]
