A place in Paradise as small as a bow is better than all that upon which the sun rises and sets

عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: «لَقَابُ قَوْسٍ في الجنة خيرٌ مما تَطلُع عليه الشمس أو تَغْرُب».

Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A place in Paradise as small as a bow is better than all that upon which the sun rises and sets."
