Al-Khiṣāl

10-22 My father, may God be pleased with him, narrated to us, he said: ʿAlī b. Ibrāhīm b. Hāshim narrated to us; from his father; from al-Ḥusayn b. al-Ḥasan al-Fārsī; from Sulaymān b. Ḥafṣ al-Baṣrī; from ʿAbd Allāh b. al-Ḥusayn b. Zayd b. ʿAlī b. al-Ḥusayn b. ʿAlī b. Abī Ṭālib (ʿas); from his father; from Jaʿfar b. Muḥammad (ʿas); from his forefathers (ʿas); from ʿAlī (ʿas), who said that the Messenger of God (ṣ) said, "When God - Mighty and Exalted - had finished creating The Garden, and He had created it from two milks - one of gold and one of silver - and made its walls from rubies, its roof from emerald, its stones as pearls, its dust as saffron and fragrant musk, He said to it, 'speak.' It said, 'There is no god except You, the Living, the Constant. Whoever enters me shall rejoice.' God - Mighty and Exalted - answered it, 'by My Might, My Honour, My Splendour, and My Loftiness, never shall enter it one that persisted in drinking alcohol; nor one constantly given to intoxication; nor a calumniator - that is a slanderer; nor a wittol - meaning one without any shame for his household; nor a policeman - meaning a patrolman; nor a hermaphrodite - meaning one of both sexes; nor a graverobber - meaning a tomb raider; nor a tithe-taker; nor one who severs family relations; nor a libertarian rejector of Divine Pre-Destiny.'"
