Arabic text

الحسن بن علوان عن عمرو بن خالد عن زيد بن علي عن آبائه عن علي عليهم السلام قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله ان أدنى أهل الجنة منزلة من الشهداء من له اثنا عشر الف زوجة من الحور العين وأربعة ألاف بكر واثنا عشر الف ثيب تخدم كل زوجة منهن سبعون الف خادم غير أن حور العين يضعف لهن يطوف على جماعتهن في كل أسبوع فإذا جاء يوم إحديهن أو ساعتها اجتمعن إليها يصوتن بأصوات لا أصوات أحلى منها ولا أحسن حتى ما يبقى في الجنة شئ الا اهتز لحسن أصواتهن يقلن: ألا نحن الخالدات فلا نموت أبدا ونحن الناعمات فلا نبأس أبدا ونحن الراضيات فلا نسخط أبدا.

Translation

9.Al-Ḥasan ibn ʿUlwān narrated from ʿAmr ibn Khālid, from Zayd ibn ʿAlī, from his fathers, from ʿAlī (a) who said, “The Messenger of Allah (ṣ) said, ‘Verily the lowest of the inhabitants of Paradise in rank among the martyrs [1] is one who will have twelve thousand wives from the wide eyed houris, four thousand virgins, and twelve thousand non-virgins. Each of these wives will be served by seventy thousand servants, but the wide-eyed houris will have something more. He will go around their gatherings every week, and when the day or the hour of one of them comes, they will gather around her singing in voices so sweet and nice that no other voices can compare, until nothing remains in Paradise but that it is swayed by their voices. They will say, “Indeed, we are immortal, so we will never die; and we are [soft and] tender, so we will never become [wrinkled and] hard; and we are satisfied, so we will never get angry.”’”
