Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ ثُمَامَةَ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَرْقَمَ قَالَ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ الْيَهُودِ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ أَلَسْتَ تَزْعُمُ أَنَّ أَهْلَ الْجَنَّةِ يَأْكُلُونِ فِيهَا وَيَشْرَبُونَ وَقَالَ لِأَصْحَابِهِ إِنْ أَقَرَّ لِي بِهَذِهِ خَصَمْتُهُ قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّ
ى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَلَى وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ إِنَّ أَحَدَهُمْ لَيُعْطَى قُوَّةَ مِائَةِ رَجُلٍ فِي الْمَطْعَمِ وَالْمَشْرَبِ وَالشَّهْوَةِ وَالْجِمَاعِ قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهُ الْيَهُودِيُّ فَإِنَّ الَّذِي يَأْكُلُ وَيَشْرَبُ تَكُونُ لَهُ الْحَاجَةُ قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَاجَةُ أَحَدِهِمْ عَرَقٌ يَفِيضُ مِنْ جُلُودِهِمْ مِثْلُ رِيحِ الْمِسْكِ فَإِذَا الْبَطْنُ قَدْ ضَمُرَ

English Translation
Zayd ibn Arqam (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that a Jewish man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, 'O Abū al-Qāsim, do you not claim that the people of Paradise eat and drink in it?' He said to his companions, 'If he concedes this to me, I will refute him.' the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Yes, by the One in Whose Hand is my soul. Indeed, each one of them will be given the strength of a hundred men in eating, drinking, desire, and intercourse.' The Jewish man said, 'But the one who eats and drinks must relieve himself.' the Prophet ﷺ said: 'Their relief will be perspiration that flows through their skin like musk, and their bellies will become lean.'
