أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " احْتَجَّتِ الْجَنَّةُ وَالنَّارُ ، فَقَالَتِ الْجَنَّةُ : مَا بَالِي يَدْخُلُنِي الْفُقَرَاءُ وَالضُّعَفَاءُ ؟ وَقَالَتِ النَّارُ : مَا بَالِي يَدْخُلُنِي الْجَبَّارُونَ وَالْمُتَكَبِّرُونَ ؟ فَقَالَ اللَّهُ : أَنْتِ رَحْمَتِي أَرْحَمُ بِكِ مَنْ أَشَاءُ ، وَقَالَ لِلنَّارِ : أَنْتِ عَذَابِي أُصِيبُ بِكِ مَنْ أَشَاءُ ، وَلِكُلِّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهُنَّ مِلْؤُهَا " .
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, narrates this statement of the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: "Paradise and Hell argued with each other. Paradise said: My situation is that the poor and weak people will enter me. Hell said: My situation is that the tyrants and the arrogant will enter me. So Allah Almighty said: You are My mercy; through you I will have mercy on whom I wish. And He said to Hell: You are My punishment; through you I will punish whom I wish. And both of you will be filled."
