حَدَّثَنَا حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ عَلْقَمَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَا : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَمَّا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ الْجَنَّةَ ، قَالَ : يَا جِبْرِيلُ ، اذْهَبْ فَانْظُرْ إِلَيْهَا ، فَذَهَبَ فَنَظَرَ ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَبِّ ، وَعِزَّتِكَ لَا يَسْمَعُ بِهَا أَحَدٌ إِلَّا دَخَلَهَا ، ثُمَّ حَفَّهَا بِالْمَكَارِهِ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : اذْهَبْ فَانْظُرْ إِلَيْهَا ، فَذَهَبَ فَنَظَر ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَبِّ ، وَعِزَّتِكَ لَقَدْ خَشِيتُ أَنْ لَا يَدْخُلَهَا أَحَدٌ ، فَلَمَّا خَلَقَ النَّارَ ، قَالَ : يَا جِبْرِيلُ ، اذْهَبْ فَانْظُرْ إِلَيْهَا ، فَذَهَبَ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهَا ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَبِّ ، وَعِزَّتِكَ لَا يَسْمَعُ بِهَا أَحَدٌ فَيَدْخُلُهَا ، فَحَفَّهَا بِالشَّهَوَاتِ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : يَا جِبْرِيلُ ، اذْهَبْ فَانْظُرْ إِلَيْهَا ، فَذَهَبَ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهَا ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَبِّ ، وَعِزَّتِكَ لَقَدْ خَشِيتُ أَنْ لَا يَبْقَى أَحَدٌ إِلَّا دَخَلَهَا " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When Allah created Paradise, He sent a message to Hazrat Jibreel (peace be upon him) to go and see it. So Hazrat Jibreel (peace be upon him) went and saw Paradise and the blessings prepared in it, and returned and said in the Divine Presence: "By Your honor, whoever hears about it will surely wish to enter it." Then, by Allah's command, it was covered with disliked and unpleasant things. Allah said: "Now go and see it and its blessings again." So he went again, and this time it was covered with unpleasant matters. He returned and said: "By Your honor, I fear that now no one will be able to enter it."

Similarly, when Allah created Hell, He said to Hazrat Jibreel (peace be upon him): "O Jibreel, go and see Hell and the punishments prepared for its inhabitants." When he reached there and saw it, he returned and said: "By Your honor, no person who hears about it will wish to enter it." Then, by Allah's command, it was 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."
