وَبِإِسْنَادِهِ ، وَبِإِسْنَادِهِ ، عَنْ
أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ :
" لَمَّا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ الْجَنَّةَ وَالنَّارَ أَرْسَلَ جِبْرِيلَ ، قَالَ : انْظُرْ إِلَيْهَا وَإِلَى مَا أَعْدَدْتُ لِأَهْلِهَا فِيهَا ، فَجَاءَ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهَا وَإِلَى مَا أَعَدَّ اللَّهُ لِأَهْلِهَا فِيهَا ، فَرَجَعَ إِلَيْهِ ، فقَال : وَعِزَّتِكَ ، لَا يَسْمَعُ بِهَا أَحَدٌ إِلَّا دَخَلَهَا ، فَأَمَرَ بِهَا فَحُجِبَتْ بِالْمَكَارِهِ ، قَالَ : ارْجِعْ إِلَيْهَا ، فَانْظُرْ إِلَيْهَا وَإِلَى مَا أَعْدَدْتُ لِأَهْلِهَا فِيهَا " ، قَالَ : " فَرَجَعَ إِلَيْهَا ، فَإِذَا هِيَ قَدْ حُجِبَتْ بِالْمَكَارِهِ ، فَرَجَعَ إِلَيْهِ ، فقَالَ : وَعِزَّتِكَ ، قَدْ خَشِيتُ أَنْ لَا يَدْخُلَهَا أَحَد ، قَالَ : اذْهَبْ إِلَى النَّارِ ، فَانْظُرْ إِلَيْهَا وَإِلَى مَا أَعْدَدْتُ لِأَهْلِهَا فِيهَا ، فجاءَها ، فَنَظَر إليها وإلى ما أعَّد لأهلها فيها ، فَإِذَا هِيَ يَرْكَبُ بَعْضُهَا بَعْضًا ، فَرَجَعَ فقَالَ ، وَعِزَّتِك ، لَا يَسْمَعَ بِهَا أَحَدٌ فَيَدْخُلَهَا ، فَأَمَرَ بِهَا ، فَحُفَّتْ بِالشَّهَوَاتِ ، فر جع إليه قَالَ : وَعِزَّتِكَ ، لَقَدْ خَشِيتُ أَنْ لَا يَنْجُوَ مِنْهَا أَحَدٌ إِلَّا دَخَلَهَا " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When Allah created Paradise and Hell, He sent a message to Hazrat Jibreel (peace be upon him) to go and see them and also see what I have prepared in them. So Hazrat Jibreel (peace be upon him) went and saw Paradise and the blessings prepared in it, and returned and submitted in the Divine Court: By Your honor, whoever hears about it will surely wish to enter it. By Allah’s command, it was then covered with undesirable and unpleasant things. Allah said: Now go and see it and its blessings again. So he went again; this time it was covered with unpleasant matters. He returned and submitted: By Your honor, I fear that now no one will be able to enter it. Allah said: Go and see Hell and the punishments prepared for the people of Hell. When he reached there, one part of it was overwhelming the other. He returned and said: By Your honor, no person who hears about it will wish to enter it. By Allah’s command, it was then covered with desires. This time Hazrat Jibreel (peace be upon him) said: By Your honor, I fear that now no one will be able to escape from it.
