Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 36716 — Reports on the description

It is narrated from Abdullah bin Abi al-Hudhayl that Musa (peace be upon him), or another of the prophets, asked Allah Almighty: "O Allah! How strange is this matter from You! Your friends (the righteous) remain in fear in the world; they are killed, they are seized and then cut to pieces. And Your enemies eat whatever they wish and drink whatever they wish" (or words to that effect). Allah Almighty said: "Take My servant on a tour of Paradise." There he saw blessings that he had not seen before: cups placed ready, cushions set straight in rows and carpets spread out, and the wide-eyed houris, various fruits and servants as though they were hidden pearls. He was shown all of these. Allah Almighty said: "When this is the destination of My friends, what harm is there in whatever hardship reached them in the world?" Then He said: "Take My servant on a tour of Hell." So he was taken to Hell, and a neck of fire came out of it, at the sight of which that servant fell unconscious. Then he recovered somewhat, and Allah Almighty said: "When this is the destination of My enemies, what benefit is there in whatever blessings they received in the world?" He said: "Nothing at all."
