Question:
Is there any authentic Hadith which says the lowest person in Jannah will have 1000 palaces and his kingdom will be 1000 years travel journey.
Answer:
You are probably referring to the following authentic narration of Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah ibn Mas’ud (radiyallahu ‘anhu) wherein he related regarding the last person to cross over the bridge [sirat] and gain entry into Jannah:
“The servant/assistant will say: “You will have 1000 more assistants in 1000 palaces, the distance between each palace is the distance of 1000 years….”
(Musnad Ishaq ibn Rahuyah; Refer: Al Matalibul ‘Aliyah, Hadith: 4539, Mukhtasar Ithafus Sadah Al Maharah, Hadith: 8668)

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
