وَعَنْ قَتَادَةَ بْنِ نُعْمَانَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " نَزَلَ عَلَيَّ جِبْرِيلُ بِأَحْسَنِ مَا كَانَ يَأْتِينِي صُورَةً ، فَقَالَ : إِنَّ السَّلَامَ يُقْرِئُكَ السَّلَامَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ ، وَيَقُولُ : إِنِّي أَوْحَيْتُ إِلَى الدُّنْيَا أَنْ تَمَرَّرِي ، وَتَنَكَّدِي ، وَتَضَيَّقِي ، وَتَشَدَّدِي عَلَى أَوْلِيَائِي حَتَّى يُحِبُّوا لِقَائِي ، وَتَوَسَّعِي ، وَتَسَهَّلِي ، وَطِيبِي لِأَعْدَائِي ، حَتَّى يَكْرَهُوا لِقَائِي ; فَإِنِّي جَعَلْتُهَا سِجْنًا لِأَوْلِيَائِي ، وَجَنَّةً لِأَعْدَائِي " . رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ ، وَفِيهِ جَمَاعَةٌ لَمْ أَعْرِفْهُمْ .
Sayyiduna Qatadah bin Nu'man bin Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Jibril came down to me in the most beautiful form (in which he used to come to me) and said: 'Indeed, the Bestower of Peace (al-Salam) sends you greetings of peace, O Sayyiduna Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), and He says: I have revealed to the world that it should become bitter, troublesome, narrow and harsh for My friends, so that they love meeting Me, and that it should become spacious, easy and pleasant for My enemies, so that they dislike meeting Me. Indeed, I have made it (that is, the world) a prison for My friends and a paradise for My enemies.'"
