Sunan Ibn Majah 1449 (Book 6, Hadith 17) #30801
The Souls of Believers in Paradise

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the souls of believers being in green birds, eating from the trees of Paradise.

It was narrated from 'Abdur-Rahman bin Ka’b bin Malik, about Ka’b: "When Ka’b was dying, Umm Bishr bint Bara’ bin Ma’rur came to him and said: 'O Abu 'Abdur-Rahman! If you meet so-and-so, convey Salam to him from me.’ He said: 'May Allah forgive you, O Umm Bishr! We are too busy to think of that.’ She said: 'O Abu 'Abdur-Rahman! Did you not hear the Messenger of Allah say: "The souls of the believers are in green birds, eating from the trees of Paradise"?’ He said: 'Yes.’ She said: 'That is what I mean.’"
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا الْمُحَارِبِيُّ، جَمِيعًا عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ فُضَيْلٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ لَمَّا حَضَرَتْ كَعْبًا الْوَفَاةُ أَتَتْهُ أُمُّ بِشْرٍ بِنْتُ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ مَعْرُورٍ فَقَالَتْ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ إِنْ لَقِيتَ فُلاَنًا فَاقْرَأْ عَلَيْهِ مِنِّي السَّلاَمَ ‏.‏ قَالَ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَكِ يَا أُمَّ بِشْرٍ نَحْنُ أَشْغَلُ مِنْ ذَلِكِ ‏.‏ قَالَتْ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَمَا سَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ ـ يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ أَرْوَاحَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فِي طَيْرٍ خُضْرٍ تَعْلُقُ فِي شَجَرِ الْجَنَّةِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ بَلَى ‏.‏ قَالَتْ فَهُوَ ذَاكَ

This hadith speaks to the beauty and joy that awaits believers in paradise. It was narrated by 'Abdur-Rahman bin Kab bin Malik, who was visited by Umm Bishr bint Bara bin Marur as he was dying. She asked him to convey her salam to someone else and he replied that they were too busy for such things. She then reminded him of a hadith from Prophet Muhammad ﷺ which states that the souls of believers are in green birds, eating from the trees of paradise.
