Bukhari :: Book 3 :: Volume 39 :: Hadith 538
Narrated Abu Huraira: Once the Prophet was narrating (a story), while a bedouin was sitting with
him. "One of the inhabitants of Paradise will ask Allah to allow him to
cultivate the land. Allah will ask him, 'Are you not living in the pleasures you
like?' He will say, 'Yes, but I like to cultivate the land.' " The Prophet
added, "When the man (will be permitted he) will sow the seeds and the plants
will grow up and get ripe, ready for reaping and so on till it will be as huge
as mountains within a wink. Allah will then say to him, 'O son of Adam! Take
here you are, gather (the yield); nothing satisfies you.' " On that, the bedouin
said, "The man must be either from Quraish (i.e. an emigrant) or an Ansari, for
they are farmers, whereas we are not farmers." The Prophet smiled (at this).
