وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " تَحَاجَّتِ الْجَنَّةُ وَالنَّارُ، فَقَالَتِ النَّارُ: أُوثِرْتُ بِالْمُتَكَبِّرِينَ وَالْمُتَجَبِّرِينَ، وَقَالَتِ الْجَنَّةُ: فَمَا لِي لَا يَدْخُلُنِي إِلَّا ضُعَفَاءُ النَّاسِ وَسَفَلَتُهُمْ وَغِرَّتُهُمْ؟ (١) فَقَالَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لِلْجَنَّةِ: إِنَّمَا أَنْتِ رَحْمَتِي (٢) أَرْحَمُ بِكِ مَنْ أَشَاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِي. وَقَالَ لِلنَّارِ: إِنَّمَا أَنْتِ عَذَابِي أُعَذِّبُ بِكِ مَنْ أَشَاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِي، وَلِكُلِّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْكُمَا مِلْؤُهَا. فَأَمَّا النَّارُ فَلَا تَمْتَلِئُ حَتَّى يَضَعَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، ، رِجْلَهُ فَتَقُولُ: قَطْ قَطْ (١) - أَيْ: حَسْبِي - فَهُنَالِكَ تَمْتَلِئُ وَيُزْوَى بَعْضُهَا إِلَى بَعْضٍ، وَلَا يَظْلِمُ اللهُ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ أَحَدًا، وَأَمَّا الْجَنَّةُ فَإِنَّ اللهَ يُنْشِئُ لَهَا خَلْقًا " (٢)،
Translation
English translation
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: Once Paradise and Hell had a mutual debate. Hell said, "What is my fault that only the tyrants and the arrogant will enter me?" Paradise said, "O Lord, what is my fault that only the poor and those of lesser status will enter me?" Allah said to Paradise, "You are My mercy; I will show mercy through you to whomsoever I wish." And He said to Hell, "You are My punishment; I will punish through you whomsoever I wish. And I will fill both of you." Thus, for Paradise, Allah will create a new creation according to His will. And as people are thrown into Hell, it will keep saying, "Is there any more?" until Allah places His foot in it by His power. At that time, Hell will be filled, its parts will draw together, and it will say, "Enough, enough, enough." And for Paradise, Allah will create a new creation according to His will.
