7. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn from Muhammad ibn Isma’il from Salih ibn ‘Aqabah from al-Mufaddal from Abu ‘Abdillah who has said the following:

‘‘Believers present al-Tuhaf (gifts) to each other.’ I then asked, ‘What is al-Tuhaf!’ The Imam said, ‘It can be a seat, a pillow, food, clothes or greetings of peace. Paradise then tries to reach out to serve them food for their good deed. Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, inspires it: ‘I have made your food unlawful for the people of the world except the prophets or the successor of a prophet. When it will be the Day of Judgment Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, will inspire paradise of His decision to compensate His friends for their gifts. Thereafter, young male and female servants will come out from paradise with special trays of food covered with handkerchiefs made of pearls. When they (believers) will look into the hell and see its terrifying condition and into paradise and all that is therein their power of reason will stop in confusion and they will refuse to eat. They then will be told by someone from the foot of the Throne, ‘Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, has made hell unlawful for those who have eaten the food of paradise, and then they (believers) will extend their hands and eat.’”
