حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ
لَمَّا خَلَقَ اللهُ الْجَنَّةَ وَالنَّارَ أَرْسَلَ جِبْرِيلَ قَالَ: انْظُرْ إِلَيْهَا، وَإِلَى مَا أَعْدَدْتُ لِأَهْلِهَا فِيهَا، فَجَاءَ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهَا، وَإِلَى مَا أَعَدَّ اللهُ لِأَهْلِهَا فِيهَا. فَرَجَعَ إِلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ: وَعِزَّتِكَ لَا يَسْمَعُ بِهَا أَحَدٌ إِلَّا دَخَلَهَا، فَأَمَرَ بِهَا فَحُجِبَتْ بِالْمَكَارِهِ، قَالَ: ارْجِعْ إِلَيْهَا، فَانْظُرْ إِلَيْهَا وَإِلَى مَا أَعْدَدْتُ لِأَهْلِهَا فِيهَا، قَالَ: فَرَجَعَ إِلَيْهَا، فَإِذَا هِيَ قَدْ حُجِبَتْ بِالْمَكَارِهِ، فَرَجَعَ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ: وَعِزَّتِكَ، قَدْ خَشِيتُ أَنْ لَا يَدْخُلَهَا أَحَدٌ، قَالَ: اذْهَبْ إِلَى النَّارِ، فَانْظُرْ إِلَيْهَا وَإِلَى مَا أَعْدَدْتُ لِأَهْلِهَا فِيهَا، فَجَاءَهَا فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهَا، وَإِلَى مَا أَعَدَّ لِأَهْلِهَا فِيهَا فَإِذَا هِيَ يَرْكَبُ بَعْضُهَا بَعْضًا، فَرَجَعَ فَقَالَ: وَعِزَّتِكَ، لَا يَسْمَعُ بِهَا أَحَدٌ فَيَدْخُلُهَا، فَأَمَرَ بِهَا فَحُفَّتْ بِالشَّهَوَاتِ، فَرَجَعَ إِلَيْهِ قَالَ: وَعِزَّتِكَ، لَقَدْ خَشِيتُ أَنْ لَا يَنْجُوَ مِنْهَا أَحَدٌ إِلَّا دَخَلَهَا

✧ When Allah created the Garden and the Fire, He sent Jibril. He said, 'Look at it and at what I have prepared for its people therein.' So he came and looked at it and at what Allah had prepared for its people therein. Then he returned to Him and said, 'By Your might, no one will hear of it except that he will enter it.' So He commanded concerning it, and it was veiled with hardships. He said, 'Return to it and look at it and at what I have prepared for its people therein.' He said, 'So he returned to it, and behold, it was veiled with hardships. Then he returned to Him and said, 'By Your might, I fear that no one will enter it.' He said, 'Go to the Fire and look at it and at what I have prepared for its people therein.' So he came to it and looked at it and at what was prepared for its people therein, and behold, it was riding one upon another. Then he returned and said, 'By Your might, no one will hear of it and enter it.' So He commanded concerning it, and it was surrounded with desires. Then he returned to Him and said, 'By Your might, I fear that no one will escape from it except that he will enter it.'
