Jami' at-Tirmidhi — Hadith #28685

Ali ibn Hajar narrated to us, Ali ibn Mushar narrated to us, on the authority of Abd al-Rahman ibn Ishaq, on the authority of al-Nu’man ibn Sa’d, on the authority of Ali, he said, the Messenger of God said God, may God bless him and grant him peace, “Indeed, in Paradise there are chambers whose backs can be seen from their bellies, and their bellies from their backs.” Then a Bedouin rose up to him. He said: Who is it for, O Messenger of God? He said: “It is for one who speaks kindly, feeds himself with food, perpetuates fasting, and prays to God at night while the people are asleep.” “Abu Issa said, ‘This is a strange hadith.’ Some of the people of knowledge have spoken about Abd al-Rahman ibn Ishaq on the authority of his memorization.” He is a Kufi, and Abd al-Rahman bin Ishaq al-Qurashi is a Madani, and he is more steadfast than this.
