Hadith 52
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " تَحَاجَّتِ الْجَنَّةُ وَالنَّارُ، فَقَالَتِ النَّارُ : أُوثِرْتُ بِالْمُتَكَبِّرِينَ وَالْمُتَجَبِّرِينَ، وَقَالَتِ الْجَنَّةُ : فَمَا لِيَ لا يَدْخُلُنِي إِلا ضُعَفَاءُ النَّاسِ وَسَقَطُهُمْ وَغِرَّتُهُمْ، فَقَالَ اللَّهُ لِلْجَنَّةِ : إِنَّمَا أَنْتِ رَحْمَتِي أَرْحَمُ بِكِ مَنْ أَشَاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِي، وَقَالَ لِلنَّارِ : إِنَّمَا أَنْتِ عَذَابِي أُعَذِّبُ بِكِ مَنْ أَشَاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِي وَلِكُلِّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْكُمَا مِلْؤُهَا، فَأَمَّا النَّارُ فَلا تَمْتَلِئُ حَتَّى يَضَعَ فِيهَا رِجْلَهُ، فَتَقُولُ : قَطْ قَطْ، فَهُنَالِكَ تَمْتَلِئُ وَيُزْوَى بَعْضُهَا إِلَى بَعْضٍ، وَلا يَظْلِمُ اللَّهُ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ أَحَدًا، وَأَمَّا الْجَنَّةُ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يُنْشِئُ لَهَا خَلْقًا "
And the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “There was a debate between Paradise and Hell. Hell said: Because of the arrogant and proud people, I have superiority over you. Paradise said: What is it that only the weak, lowly, and simple-minded people enter me instead of the arrogant? Upon this, Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, said to Paradise: You are My mercy; through you I bestow My mercy upon whomever I wish among My servants. And He said to Hell: You are My punishment; through you I punish whomever I wish among My servants. And the filling of both of you (according to your measure) is a reality. However, Hell will only be filled when Allah places His foot in it. (When Allah places His foot in it), Hell will say: Enough! Enough! (Thus) at that time it will be filled and it will contract, and Allah will not wrong any one of His creation. And as for the filling of Paradise, for that Allah will create another creation.”
