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 " .
Narrated Abu Hurairah: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ 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.

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
➊ Paradise and its blessings, as well as Hell and its punishment, have in reality already been created.
➋ Entry into Paradise is only possible by adhering to the prescribed religious obligations, and in contrast, following one's base desires and abandoning religious obligations leads to Hell. Therefore, it is necessary for a person to keep away from following base desires.

Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
(1) The honor of Allah is not something separate from the Essence of Allah, rather it is an inherent attribute; therefore, it is permissible to swear an oath by this attribute.
(2) The statement of Jibril (alayhis salam) by swearing an oath and making the above commentary is his own estimation. Despite this, countless servants of Allah will enter Paradise by staying away from Hell, and will adopt disliked things by considering them delightful, and will regard desires as enemies and keep away from them.
(3) The surrounding of Paradise and Hell with disliked things and desires may be an actual reality of the higher realm, or it may simply be a metaphor: that the delights of Paradise cannot be attained without adopting disliked things (such as: prayer, fasting, and jihad—difficult acts), and the inevitable result of indulging in desires is the fire of Hell. And Allah knows best.
(4) Both Paradise and Hell are creations of Allah and truly exist; the claim of the Mu'tazilah that Allah will create them on the Day of Resurrection is absolutely incorrect.
