A man asked Ibn `Abbas: What has Allah concealed regarding Paradise? He has informed us about its wives, its servants, its good things, its drinks, its fruits, and that which Allah mentioned regarding its matters and revealed in His Book. So, Ibn `Abbas said: It is the Paradise of Eden. Allah created it on Friday, then He sealed it. No creature in the heavens nor the Earth will see it until its people enter it. He said to it three times: “Speak.” Then, it said: “Tuba is for the believers.” He said: “Tuba is for the believers, and Tuba is for you.” Muqatil said: al-Dahhak said: Ibn al-`Abbas said: So, the Prophet (s) said: A believer is not but one who has six characteristics: (1) he speaks truthfully, (2) he fulfills his promises, (3) he fulfills his trusts, (4) he is good to his parents, (5) he connects with his blood-relatives, and (6) he repents from his sins.
