I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, how beautiful is this garden!' He replied, 'How beautiful it is! And you will have something even more beautiful than this in Paradise.' Then we came upon another garden, and I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, how beautiful is this garden!' He said, 'You will have something more beautiful than this in Paradise,' until we passed by seven gardens. I would say, 'O Messenger of Allah, how beautiful this is!' and he would say, 'You will have something more beautiful than this in Paradise.'"

3933 - Abu Ya'la said: Yahya ibn Mufazzal al-Qawwari narrated to us, from Harmi ibn Imarah, from al-Fadl ibn Umayrah Abu Qutaybah al-Qaysi, who said: Maymun al-Kurdi Abu Basir narrated to me from Abu Uthman from Ali ibn Abi Talib, who said: "While the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) was taking my hand and we were walking in one of the alleys of the city, we came upon a garden, and I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, how beautiful this garden is!' He replied, 'You will have one in Paradise that is more beautiful than it.'" Until we passed by seven gardens, each time I would say, "How beautiful this is!" and he would say, "You will have one in Paradise that is more beautiful than it." When the way was clear for me, he embraced me and then began to weep openly. I said, "O Messenger of Allah, what makes you weep?" He replied, "Feelings of resentment in the hearts of some people that they will not reveal to you except after my death." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, will I be in safety regarding my religion?" He said, "You will be in safety regarding your religion." And al-Bazzar said: Amr ibn Ali and Muhammad ibn Mu'mar both said: Harmi ibn Imarah narrated to us this, stating that he does not narrate from the Prophet except with this chain of narration, nor did anything come from Abu Uthman from Ali other than this. Al-Hakim authenticated it.

He (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) replied, 'You will have in Paradise something better than this.'" This is a hadith with a sound chain of narration, and they did not include it in their collections.

He answered, "You will be in safety concerning your religion."
