´It was narrated from Anas bin Malik that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:` “Whoever asks for Paradise, three times, Paradise will say: “O Allah, admit him to Paradise.” And whoever asked to be saved from Hell, three times, Hell will say: “O Allah, save him from Hell.”

Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
➊
It is Sunnah to supplicate three times.
➋
One should continue to supplicate to Allah for entry into Paradise (Jannah) and for protection from the Fire (Jahannam).
➌
Paradise (Jannah) and the Fire (Jahannam) do not supplicate for anyone except by Allah’s command; therefore, their supplicating indicates that Allah, the Exalted, wishes to accept their supplication and admit that person into Paradise.

Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
Paradise, Hell, and the Fire, etc., are all creations of Allah Ta'ala. They speak to Allah Ta'ala, and Allah Ta'ala speaks to them. No one should have any objection or difficulty regarding this. The statement of Allah Ta'ala is: “There is not a thing except that it glorifies Him with His praise, but you do not understand their glorification.” (: Bani Isra'il 17:44) Here, there is no need to delve into the discussion of state (hal) or speech (qal). This is a matter between the Creator and the creation.
