The answer

Paradise has been prepared for all the pious, not for one person. This is evidenced by the Prophet's (peace be upon him) statement during the Battle of Badr: "Arise to a Paradise whose breadth is the heavens and the earth," and Allah's (the Most High) saying: "And hasten to forgiveness from your Lord and a Garden whose expanse is the heavens and the earth, prepared for the righteous," and His saying: "Race toward forgiveness from your Lord and a Garden whose width is like the width of the heaven and earth, prepared for those who believed in Allah and His messengers." This is the apparent meaning from the interpretations of Al-Tabari and Al-Qurtubi, whereas Al-Fakhr Al-Razi mentioned another view, that the Paradise whose breadth is the heavens and the earth might be for a single man.
