What is the reason for the discrepancy between the two Hadiths concerning the share of the last man to enter Paradise, where one mentioned "like the world and ten times its like," and the other mentioned "like the kingdom of one of the kings of the world"?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The authentic hadiths have clarified that the lowest in rank among the people of Paradise is he who will have ten times the like of this world. Narrations from Ibn Mas'ud, Jabir, and Mughirah ibn Shu'bah, may Allah be pleased with them, confirm this status with phrases such as "Then for you is the like of the world and ten times its like" or "the world and ten times its like with it." Although Abu Hurairah's narration mentioned "That is for you and its like with it," Abu Sa'id al-Khudri narrated that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "That is for you and ten times its like." Scholars have agreed that combining the narrations involves prioritizing the narration of the group over that of an individual, or it is possible that Abu Hurairah heard the first part of the hadith, and then the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, was informed of the addition later, which other Companions like Abu Sa'id heard. This confirms that the hadiths are in agreement that the lowest among the people of Paradise will receive ten times the like of this world.
