Musnad Aḥmad 212
حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَمَوْضِعُ سَوْطٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَمَا فِيهَا».

Chain: Aḥmad → Sufyān ibn ʿUyaynah → Abū Ḥāzim → Sahl ibn Saʿd (may Allah be pleased with him) → the Prophet ﷺ. Rijāl: (1) Sufyān ibn ʿUyaynah: Sufyān ibn ʿUyaynah ibn Mīmūn al-Hilālī al-Kūfī (d. 198 AH); thiqa ḥāfiẓ faqīh imām. (2) Abū Ḥāzim: Salamah ibn Dīnār al-Aʿraj al-Madanī (d. 135 AH); thiqa ʿābid. (3) Sahl ibn Saʿd: Companion (Ṣaḥābī); Abū l-ʿAbbās al-Sāʿidī; the last Companion to die in Madinah, c. 88–91 AH. Takhrīj: Aḥmad (5/330); al-Bukhārī in Kitāb al-Jihād (2796) and Kitāb al-Riqāq (6415); Muslim in Kitāb al-Imārah (1881). The “whip” (sawṭ) is the short riding-crop used by horsemen. This vivid comparison underscores that even the smallest portion of Paradise transcends in value all the accumulated riches, pleasures, and achievements of the entire created world and its lifetime.
