حَدَّثَنَا حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " لَمَّا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ الْجَنَّةَ وَالنَّارَ أَرْسَلَ جِبْرِيلَ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ ، فَقَالَ : انْظُرْ إِلَيْهَا وَإِلَى مَا أَعْدَدْتُ لِأَهْلِهَا فِيهَا ، قَالَ : فَجَاءَهَا وَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهَا وَإِلَى مَا أَعَدَّ اللَّهُ لِأَهْلِهَا فِيهَا ، قَالَ : فَرَجَعَ إِلَيْهِ قَالَ : فَوَعِزَّتِكَ لَا يَسْمَعُ بِهَا أَحَدٌ إِلَّا دَخَلَهَا ، فَأَمَرَ بِهَا فَحُفَّتْ بِالْمَكَارِهِ ، فَقَالَ : ارْجِعْ إِلَيْهَا فَانْظُرْ إِلَى مَا أَعْدَدْتُ لِأَهْلِهَا فِيهَا ، قَالَ : فَرَجَعَ إِلَيْهَا فَإِذَا هِيَ قَدْ حُفَّتْ بِالْمَكَارِهِ ، فَرَجَعَ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ : وَعِزَّتِكَ لَقَدْ خِفْتُ أَنْ لَا يَدْخُلَهَا أَحَدٌ ، قَالَ : اذْهَبْ إِلَى النَّارِ ، فَانْظُرْ إِلَيْهَا وَإِلَى مَا أَعْدَدْتُ لِأَهْلِهَا فِيهَا ، فَإِذَا هِيَ يَرْكَبُ بَعْضُهَا بَعْضًا ، فَرَجَعَ إِلَيْهِ ، فَقَالَ : وَعِزَّتِكَ لَا يَسْمَعُ بِهَا أَحَدٌ فَيَدْخُلَهَا ، فَأَمَرَ بِهَا فَحُفَّتْ بِالشَّهَوَاتِ ، فَقَالَ : ارْجِعْ إِلَيْهَا ، فَرَجَعَ إِلَيْهَا فَقَالَ : وَعِزَّتِكَ لَقَدْ خَشِيتُ أَنْ لَا يَنْجُوَ مِنْهَا أَحَدٌ إِلَّا دَخَلَهَا " , قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ .
´Abu Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said:` "When Allah created Paradise and the Fire, He sent Jibril to Paradise , saying: 'Look at it and at what I have prepared in it for its inhabitants.'" He (s.a.w) said: "So he came to it and looked at it, and at what Allah had prepared in it. He (Jibril) said: 'Indeed, by your Might, none shall hear of it except that he shall enter it.' Then He gave the order for it to be surrounded with hardships. He said: 'Return to it and look at it, and at what I have prepared in it for its inhabitants.'" He (s.a.w) said: "So he returned to it and found it surrounded with hardships. He returned to Him and said: 'Indeed, by your Might, I fear that none shall enter it.' He (s.a.w) said: 'Go to the Fire and look at it and at what I have prepared in it for its inhabitants.' So he found it, one part of it riding the other. So he returned to Him and said: 'Indeed, by your Might, none shall hear of it and then enter it.' So He gave the order for it to be surrounded with desires, then He said: 'Return to it.,' so he (Jibril) returned to it, then he said: 'Indeed, by Your Might, I fear that none shall be saved from it except that he shall enter it.'"

Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
(1) The honor of Allah is not something separate from the Essence of Allah, rather it is an inherent attribute; therefore, it is permissible to swear an oath by this attribute.
(2) The statement of Jibril (alayhis salam) by swearing an oath and making the above commentary is his own estimation. Despite this, countless servants of Allah will enter Paradise by staying away from Hell, and will adopt disliked things by considering them delightful, and will regard desires as enemies and keep away from them.
(3) The surrounding of Paradise and Hell with disliked things and desires may be an actual reality of the higher realm, or it may simply be a metaphor: that the delights of Paradise cannot be attained without adopting disliked things (such as: prayer, fasting, and jihad—difficult acts), and the inevitable result of indulging in desires is the fire of Hell. And Allah knows best.
(4) Both Paradise and Hell are creations of Allah and truly exist; the claim of the Mu'tazilah that Allah will create them on the Day of Resurrection is absolutely incorrect.

Benefits and Issues:
➊ Paradise and its blessings, as well as Hell and its punishment, have in reality already been created.
➋ Entry into Paradise is only possible by adhering to the prescribed religious obligations, and in contrast, following one's base desires and abandoning religious obligations leads to Hell. Therefore, it is necessary for a person to keep away from following base desires.
