When it is Friday, Allah descend to it. The pulpits of gold are kept thin there for the prophets and chairs made of pearl are arranged for the martyrs and the maidens with big lustrous eyes will get down from their upstairs rooms. They all praise Allah and glorify Him. The Prophet said: Then Allah will say: Cloth My slaves. So they will be dressed. He will say: Feed My slaves. So they will be fed. He will say: Make them drink. So they will be made to drink. He will say: Perfume My slaves. So they will be perfumed. Then He will ask: What do you want? They will say: O our Lord! We want Your pleasure. the Prophet said: Allah will say: I am pleased with you. Then He will order them to disperse. So they will deport. And the maidens with big lustrous eyes ascend to the upstairs rooms. Which are made of green emerald and red ruby.

(This Hadith is sound and narrated in Musnad of Abi Yala.)

100) Narrated 'Abdullah bin Amr bin Al-Aa's that the Prophet recited the words of Allah that Ibrahim uttered: My Lord! They (the idols) - have misguided lots of people. So who follows me, is verily of me, and Jesus said: If you punish them, they are Your slaves. If You forgive them, You are the All-Mighty, the All-Wise. Then he raised his hands and said: O Allah! My Ummah, (people) My Ummah and wept. So Allah said: O Jibrael! Go to Muhammad- though your Lord knows best - and ask him: What makes you weep? So Jibrael came to him and asked him (about the matter). Allah's Messenger informed him of what he had said - though Allah knows best. When Jibrael reported to Allah, He said: O Jibrael! Go back to Muhammad and say: We will please you with regard to your Ummah and We will not cause you any harm.
