Sahih al-Bukhari 7519 (Book 97, Hadith 144) #7221
The Bountiful Harvest of Paradise

SUMMARY: This hadith is about a man from Paradise who will be granted permission to cultivate the land and reap a bountiful harvest in an instant.

Narrated Abu Huraira: Once the Prophet was preaching while a bedouin was sitting there. The Prophet said, "A man from among the people of Paradise will request Allah to allow him to cultivate the land Allah will say to him, 'Haven't you got whatever you desire?' He will reply, 'yes, but I like to cultivate the land (Allah will permit him and) he will sow the seeds, and within seconds the plants will grow and ripen and (the yield) will be harvested and piled in heaps like mountains. On that Allah will say (to him), "Take, here you are, O son of Adam, for nothing satisfies you'. "On that the bedouin said, "O Allah's Messenger ! Such man must be either from Quraish or from Ansar, for they are farmers while we are not". On that Allah's Messenger smiled .
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ، حَدَّثَنَا فُلَيْحٌ، حَدَّثَنَا هِلاَلٌ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ كَانَ يَوْمًا يُحَدِّثُ وَعِنْدَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَادِيَةِ ‏ "‏ أَنَّ رَجُلاً مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ اسْتَأْذَنَ رَبَّهُ فِي الزَّرْعِ فَقَالَ أَوَ لَسْتَ فِيمَا شِئْتَ‏.‏ قَالَ بَلَى وَلَكِنِّي أُحِبُّ أَنْ أَزْرَعَ‏.‏ فَأَسْرَعَ وَبَذَرَ فَتَبَادَرَ الطَّرْفَ نَبَاتُهُ وَاسْتِوَاؤُهُ وَاسْتِحْصَادُهُ وَتَكْوِيرُهُ أَمْثَالَ الْجِبَالِ فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى دُونَكَ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ فَإِنَّهُ لاَ يُشْبِعُكَ شَىْءٌ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَقَالَ الأَعْرَابِيُّ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لاَ تَجِدُ هَذَا إِلاَّ قُرَشِيًّا أَوْ أَنْصَارِيًّا فَإِنَّهُمْ أَصْحَابُ زَرْعٍ، فَأَمَّا نَحْنُ فَلَسْنَا بِأَصْحَابِ زَرْعٍ‏.‏ فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks of the rewards that await those who are admitted into paradise. It tells us that Allah will grant them whatever they desire and even more than they could have imagined. In this case, it is the ability to cultivate the land and reap a bountiful harvest in an instant. The bedouin was surprised by this as he assumed only those from Quraish or Ansar would be able to do such a thing due to their farming background. However, Allah's Messenger smiled at this comment which implies that anyone can receive such blessings regardless of their background or experience with farming. This hadith teaches us that if we strive for good deeds and remain steadfast in our faith then we too can receive unimaginable rewards from Allah in paradise.
