Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "The first batch (of people) who will enter Paradise will be (glittering) like a full
moon; and those who will enter next will be (glittering) like the brightest star. Their hearts will be as if
the heart of a single man, for they will have no enmity amongst themselves, and everyone of them
shall have two wives, each of whom will be so beautiful, pure and transparent that the marrow of the
bones of their legs will be seen through the flesh. They will be glorifying Allah in the morning and
evening, and will never fall ill, and they will neither blow their noses, nor spit. Their utensils will be
of gold and silver, and their combs will be of gold, and the fuel used in their centers will be the aloeswood,
and their sweat will smell like musk."
