Hadith 589
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلاَمٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ”احْتَجَّتِ النَّارُ وَالْجَنَّةُ، فَقَالَتِ النَّارُ: يَدْخُلُنِي الْمُتَكَبِّرُونَ وَالْمُتَجَبِّرُونَ. وَقَالَتِ الْجَنَّةُ: لاَ يَدْخُلُنِي إِلاَّ الضُّعَفَاءُ الْمَسَاكِينُ. فَقَالَ لِلنَّارِ: أَنْتِ عَذَابِي، أَنْتَقِمُ بِكِ مِمَّنْ شِئْتُ، وَقَالَ لِلْجَنَّةِ: أَنْتِ رَحْمَتِي أَرْحَمُ بِكِ مَنْ شِئْتُ.“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Hell and Paradise argued with each other. Hell said: 'The arrogant and the tyrants will enter me.' Paradise said: 'Only the weak and the poor will enter me.' Allah Almighty said to the Fire: 'You are My punishment; with you I will punish whom I will.' And He said to Paradise: 'You are My mercy; with you I will show mercy to whom I will.'"

Benefits and Issues:
From this, it is understood that an arrogant and rebellious person may apparently receive honor in this world, but ultimately destruction will be his fate. Therefore, one should avoid rebellion. In other words, avoiding rebellion is to avoid Hell, because Allah Ta'ala loves humility.
