حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبَّادُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ الْأَسَدِيُّ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ فِي الْجَنَّةِ لَغُرَفًا يُرَى بُطُونُهَا مِنْ ظُهُورِهَا وَظُهُورُهَا مِنْ بُطُونِهَا فَقَالَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لِمَنْ هِيَ قَالَ لِمَنْ أَطَابَ الْكَلَامَ وَأَطْعَمَ الطَّعَامَ وَصَلَّى لِلَّهِ بِاللَّيْلِ وَالنَّاسُ نِيَامٌ‏.‏
It was narrated that ‘Ali (رضي الله عنه) said:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: `In Paradise there are chambers the inside of which can be seen from the outside and the outside can be seen from the inside.` A Bedouin said: O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), who are they for? He said: “For the one who speaks kind words, feeds people and prays to Allah at night when people are asleep.”
