                 The following hadith of our Prophet  is reported in one account:

                 … eating the flesh of the bird comes to the mind of that person, at
                 which various meats arrive before him. The people of the Garden eat
                 as much of that as they wish. When they are replete, the bones of the
                 birds are gathered up. It then flies, and begins to feed in the Garden
                 as it wishes. (Mukhtasar Tadhkirah, al-Qurtubi, p. 58)

                 Again, because a person can do many things he wants in the
            Garden, the Prophet  told us that he can engage in agriculture not out of
            necessity but for the sake of pleasure:
                 Abu Hurayra, may Allah be pleased with him, recounted: “While the

                 Prophet  was preaching one day, a Bedouin was present when he
                 said: ‘There was a man in the Garden who sought permission from
                 Allah to engage in cultivation, so Allah asked him, ‘Do you not have
                 what you wish?’ The man answered: ‘Yes, but I like to cultivate.’
                 Allah granted him leave, so he rushed to plant the seed; then, he
                 watched to see what happens and within the blink of an eye, the seed

                 grew into a huge tree with fruits as big as a mountain…” (Sahih al-
                 Bukhari)
