Spoilers:

The Prophet Muhammad (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) once shared a story about the very last person to enter Jannah. This man will have barely escaped the Fire, stumbling along and grateful to be saved. When he finally arrives near Jannah, he will see a tree and beg Allah to bring him closer so he can enjoy its shade and drink its water. Though Allah knows the man will ask for more, He brings him to the tree. Then, a second, more beautiful tree appears, and the man again asks to come closer, making the same promise not to ask for anything else.

Allah brings him near once more, excusing his wishes. Finally, a third tree appears near the gate of Jannah, and again, the man pleads. Once he reaches the gate, he hears the voices of those in Jannah and asks to enter. Allah then surprises him, asking, “Would you be happy if I gave you all of the world and tens times more?” Thinking it’s too wonderful to be true, the man will ask Allah if He is mocking him, to which Allah will laugh, and reply, “'I am not mocking you, but I am able to do whatever I will.'” The Prophet (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) laughed as he told this story.

This story is authentic, told to us by the most noble of the messengers, Prophet Muhammad (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and was collected by Imam Bukhari and by Imam Muslim (may Allah have mercy on them both) in their Sahihs.
