حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ، أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " دَعَا اللهُ جِبْرِيلَ فَأَرْسَلَهُ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ، فَقَالَ: انْظُرْ إِلَيْهَا وَمَا أَعْدَدْتُ لِأَهْلِهَا، فَرَجَعَ إِلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ: وَعِزَّتِكَ، لَا يَسْمَعُ بِهَا أَحَدٌ إِلَّا دَخَلَهَا، فَحُجِبَتْ بِالْمَكَارِهِ، فَقَالَ: ارْجِعْ إِلَيْهَا فَانْظُرْ إِلَيْهَا، فَرَجَعَ إِلَيْهَا، فَقَالَ: وَعِزَّتِكَ، لَقَدْ خَشِيتُ أَلَّا يَدْخُلَهَا أَحَدٌ، ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَهُ إِلَى النَّارِ، فَقَالَ: اذْهَبْ فَانْظُرْ إِلَيْهَا وَمَا أَعْدَدْتُ لِأَهْلِهَا فِيهَا، فَرَجَعَ إِلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ: وَعِزَّتِكَ، لَا يَدْخُلُهَا أَحَدٌ يَسْمَعُ بِهَا، فَحُجِبَتْ بِالشَّهَوَاتِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: عُدْ إِلَيْهَا فَانْظُرْ إِلَيْهَا، فَرَجَعَ إِلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ: وَعِزَّتِكَ، لَقَدْ خَشِيتُ أَنْ لَا يَبْقَى أَحَدٌ إِلَّا دَخَلَهَا " (٢)، ،

It is narrated from Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble 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." Then, by Allah's command, it was 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: "Now go and see Hell and the punishments prepared for the people of Hell." When he reached there, one part of it was overtaking the other. He returned and said: "By Your honor, no person who hears about it will wish to enter it." Then, by Allah's command, it was 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."
