Sahih al-Bukhari
Beginning of Creation
Chapter: The characteristics of Paradise, and the fact that it has already been created
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said "There is a tree in Paradise (which is so big and huge that) a rider could travel in its shade for a hundred years. And if you wish, you can recite:--'In shade long extended..' (56. 30) and a place in Paradise equal to an arrow bow of one of you, is better than (the whole earth) on which the sun rises and sets."
Sahih al-Bukhari 3252, 3253
