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.
