أَخْبَرَنَا الْمَخْزُومِيُّ، نا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ، نا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْأَصَمِّ، نا يَزِيدُ بْنُ الْأَصَمِّ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ أَرَأَيْتَ جَنَّةً عَرْضُهَا السَّمَوَاتُ وَالْأَرْضُ، فَأَينَ النَّارُ؟ قَالَ: ((أَرَأَيْتَ هَذَا اللَّيْلَ الَّذِي قَدْ كَانَ أَلْبَسَ عَلَيْكَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ، أَيْنَ جُعِلَ؟)) فَقَالَ: اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ، قَالَ: ((فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ يَفْعَلُ مَا يَشَاءُ)) .
Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: A man came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Muhammad (peace be upon him), tell me, Paradise whose width is equal to the heavens and the earth, then where will Hell be? The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Tell me, this night which has covered everything for you, what will become of it?" He said: Allah knows best. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Allah does whatever He wills."
