A place in Paradise as small as a bow is better than all that upon which the sun rises and sets

Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A place in Paradise as small as a bow is better than all that upon which the sun rises and sets."

[Authentic hadith] [Narrated by Bukhari]

Explanation

This Hadīth shows the great reward of the believers in Paradise as well as the worthlessness of this worldly life. It asserts that a space as small as a bow in Paradise is better than all bliss in this life, because the former is endlessly precious and everlasting. We implore Allah, the Almighty, to make us among the dwellers of Paradise!
