حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيل، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أخبرنا حَمَّادٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَمَّا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ الْجَنَّةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ لِجِبْرِيلَ:‏‏‏‏ اذْهَبْ فَانْظُرْ إِلَيْهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَذَهَبَ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ جَاءَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَيْ رَبِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَعِزَّتِكَ لَا يَسْمَعُ بِهَا أَحَدٌ إِلَّا دَخَلَهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ حَفَّهَا بِالْمَكَارِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ يَا جِبْرِيلُ اذْهَبْ فَانْظُرْ إِلَيْهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَذَهَبَ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهَا ثُمَّ جَاءَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَيْ رَبِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَعِزَّتِكَ لَقَدْ خَشِيتُ أَنْ لَا يَدْخُلَهَا أَحَدٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَلَمَّا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ النَّارَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ يَا جِبْرِيلُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏اذْهَبْ فَانْظُرْ إِلَيْهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَذَهَبَ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ جَاءَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَيْ رَبِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَعِزَّتِكَ لَا يَسْمَعُ بِهَا أَحَدٌ فَيَدْخُلُهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَحَفَّهَا بِالشَّهَوَاتِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ يَا جِبْرِيلُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏اذْهَبْ فَانْظُرْ إِلَيْهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَذَهَبَ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ جَاءَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَيْ رَبِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَعِزَّتِكَ لَقَدْ خَشِيتُ أَنْ لَا يَبْقَى أَحَدٌ إِلَّا دَخَلَهَا .

The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said: When Allah created Paradise, He said to Gabriel: Go and look at it. He went and looked at it, then came and said: O my Lord! By Thy might, no one who hears of it will fail to enter it. He then surrounded it with disagreeable things, and said: Go and look at it, Gabriel. He went and looked at it, then came and said: O my Lord! By Thy might, I am afraid that no one will enter it. When Allah created Hell, He said: Go and look at it, Gabriel. He went and looked at it, then came and said: O my Lord! By Thy might, no one who hears of it will enter it. He then surrounded it with desirable things and said: Go and look at it, Gabriel. He went, looked at it, then came and said: O my Lord! By Thy might and power, I am afraid that no one will remain who does not enter it.
