Jami at-Tirmidhi 2540 (Book 38, Hadith 18) #28175
The Elevation of Couches in Paradise

SUMMARY: The Prophet (s.a.w) explained that the elevation of couches in Paradise is like the distance between Heaven and Earth, which is five-hundred years.

Abu Sa'eed narrated concerning His (Allah's) statement "And couches, elevated ".. (Al Wa'qiah 56:34) that the Prophet (s.a.w) said: "Their elevation is indeed like what is between the heavens and the earth, a distance of five-hundred years".
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا رِشْدِينُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ دَرَّاجٍ أَبِي السَّمْحِ، عَنْ أَبِي الْهَيْثَمِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ فِي قَوْلِهِ‏:‏ ‏(‏وَفُرُشٍ مَرْفُوعَةٍ ‏)‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ ارْتِفَاعُهَا لَكَمَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالأَرْضِ مَسِيرَةَ خَمْسِمِائَةِ سَنَةٍ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ إِلاَّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ رِشْدِينَ بْنِ سَعْدٍ ‏.‏ وَقَالَ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ فِي تَفْسِيرِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ إِنَّ مَعْنَاهُ الْفُرُشَ فِي الدَّرَجَاتِ وَبَيْنَ الدَّرَجَاتِ كَمَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالأَرْضِ

QUICK LESSONS:
Strive for paradise through good deeds

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains that the elevation of couches in paradise is like the distance between heaven and earth, which is five-hundred years. This means that these couches are very high up and far away from us here on earth. It also shows us how great Allah's power is, as He can create something so far away from us yet still be able to provide it for His believers who have done good deeds on this earth. Furthermore, this hadith teaches us to strive for paradise by doing good deeds here on earth as we will be rewarded with such a great reward if we do so.
