Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ عَنْ ثُوَيْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُ
مَرَ رَفَعَهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِنَّ أَدْنَى أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ مَنْزِلَةً الَّذِي يَنْظُرُ إِلَى جِنَانِهِ وَنَعِيمِهِ وَخَدَمِهِ وَسُرُرِهِ مِنْ مَسِيرَةِ أَلْفِ سَنَةٍ وَإِنَّ أَكْرَمَهُمْ عَلَى اللَّهِ مَنْ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى وَجْهِهِ غُدْوَةً وَعَشِيَّةً ثُمَّ تَلَا هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ { وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ نَاضِرَةٌ إِلَى رَبِّهَا نَاظِرَةٌ }

English Translation
It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar (رضي الله عنهما) — via Husayn ibn Muhammad, from Isra'il, from Thuwayr — traced back to the Prophet ﷺ — that he said: 'The lowest-ranking person in Paradise is one who looks upon his gardens, his comfort, his servants, and his couches from a distance of a thousand years' journey. And the most honored of them before Allah is one who looks upon His face morning and evening.' Then he recited the verse: 'Faces on that Day will be radiant, looking at their Lord.' [75:22-23]
