beloved Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said that he had never

After this the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, and his companions
came across a tree. It too was very, very tall and so very beautiful and his
companions invited him to climb it with them. When they finished their
climb, there lay before them a most wonderful city built of alternate bricks of
gold and silver and they walked towards its gate. At the gate they asked
permission to enter and the doors were opened.
In the city were people, half their body was the most beautiful body one
could ever see, yet the other half of their body was the most ugly you could
ever imagine. Now in the city was a stream, the water of which was as
white and as pure as milk. The Prophet's companions told the people to
jump into the river and as they did their ugliness disappeared and they
became the most beautiful people you could ever imagine.
