حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ , حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو , حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " لَمَّا خَلَقَ اللهُ الْجَنَّةَ وَالنَّارَ، أَرْسَلَ جِبْرِيلَ، قَالَ: انْظُرْ إِلَيْهَا وَإِلَى مَا أَعْدَدْتُ لِأَهْلِهَا فِيهَا، فَجَاءَ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهَا وَإِلَى مَا أَعَدَّ اللهُ لِأَهْلِهَا فِيهَا، فَرَجَعَ إِلَيْهِ، فقَالَ: وَعِزَّتِكَ، لَا يَسْمَعُ بِهَا أَحَدٌ إِلَّا دَخَلَهَا، فَأَمَرَ بِهَا فَحُجِبَتْ بِالْمَكَارِهِ، قَالَ: ارْجِعْ إِلَيْهَا فَانْظُرْ إِلَيْهَا وَإِلَى مَا أَعْدَدْتُ لِأَهْلِهَا فِيهَا، قَالَ: فَرَجَعَ إِلَيْهَا فَإِذَا هِيَ قَدْ حُجِبَتْ بِالْمَكَارِهِ، فَرَجَعَ، ، إِلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ: وَعِزَّتِكَ، قَدْ خَشِيتُ أَنْ لَا يَدْخُلَهَا أَحَدٌ، قَالَ: اذْهَبْ إِلَى النَّارِ فَانْظُرْ إِلَيْهَا وَإِلَى مَا أَعْدَدْتُ لِأَهْلِهَا فِيهَا (١) ، فَجَاءَهَا فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهَا وَإِلَى مَا أُعِدَّ لِأَهْلِهَا فِيهَا، فَإِذَا هِيَ يَرْكَبُ بَعْضُهَا بَعْضًا، فَرَجَعَ، فقَالَ: وَعِزَّتِكَ (٢) ، لَا يَسْمَعَ بِهَا أَحَدٌ فَيَدْخُلَهَا، فَأَمَرَ بِهَا فَحُفَّتْ بِالشَّهَوَاتِ، فَرَجَعَ إِلَيْهِ (٣) ، قَالَ: وَعِزَّتِكَ، لَقَدْ خَشِيتُ أَنْ لَا يَنْجُوَ مِنْهَا أَحَدٌ إِلَّا دَخَلَهَا " (٤)،
Translation
English translation
It is narrated from Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said: When Allah created Paradise and Hell, He sent a message to Jibreel (peace be upon him) to go and see them and also see what I have prepared in them. So Jibreel (peace be upon him) went and saw Paradise and the blessings prepared in it, and returned and submitted in the Divine Court: By Your honor, whoever hears about it will surely wish to enter it. By Allah’s command, it was then covered with undesirable and unpleasant things. Allah said: Now go and see it and its blessings again. So he went again; this time it was covered with unpleasant matters. He returned and submitted: By Your honor, I fear that now no one will be able to enter it. Allah said: Go and see Hell and the punishments prepared for the people of Hell. When he reached there, one part of it was overwhelming the other. He returned and said: By Your honor, no person who hears about it will wish to enter it. By Allah’s command, it was then covered with desires. This time Jibreel (peace be upon him) said: By Your honor, I fear that now no one will be able to escape from it.
