أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ مُوسَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ
عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «لَمَّا خَلَقَ اللهُ الْجَنَّةَ وَالنَّارَ أَرْسَلَ جِبْرِيلَ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ» فَقَالَ «انْظُرْ إِلَيْهَا وَإِلَى مَا أَعْدَدْتُ لِأَهْلِهَا فِيهَا فَرَجَعَ» فَقَالَ «وَعِزَّتِكَ لَا يَسْمَعُ بِهَا أَحَدٌ إِلَّا دَخَلَهَا فَأَمَرَ بِهَا فَحُفَّتْ بِالْمَكَارِهِ» فَقَالَ «اذْهَبْ إِلَيْهَا فَانْظُرْ إِلَيْهَا وَإِلَى مَا أَعْدَدْتُ لِأَهْلِهَا فِيهَا فَإِذَا هِيَ قَدْ حُفَّتْ بِالْمَكَارِهِ» فَقَالَ «وَعِزَّتِكَ لَقَدْ خَشِيتُ أَنْ لَا يَدْخُلَهَا أَحَدٌ» قَالَ «اذْهَبْ فَانْظُرْ إِلَى النَّارِ وَإِلَى مَا أَعْدَدْتُ لِأَهْلِهَا فِيهَا فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهَا فَإِذَا هِيَ يَرْكَبُ بَعْضُهَا بَعْضًا فَرَجَعَ» فَقَالَ «وَعِزَّتِكَ لَا يَدْخُلُهَا أَحَدٌ فَأَمَرَ بِهَا فَحُفَّتْ بِالشَّهَوَاتِ» فَقَالَ «ارْجِعْ إِلَيْهَا فَانْظُرْ إِلَيْهَا فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهَا فَإِذَا هِيَ قَدْ حُفَّتْ بِالشَّهَوَاتِ فَرَجَعَ» فَقَالَ «وَعِزَّتِكَ لَقَدْ خَشِيتُ أَنْ لَا يَنْجُوَ مِنْهَا أَحَدٌ إِلَّا دَخَلَهَا»

✧ From the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he said: 'When Allah created Paradise and Hell, He sent Jibril to Paradise, and said: "Look at it and at what I have prepared for its inhabitants therein." So he returned and said: "By Your might, no one will hear of it but will enter it." Then He commanded that it be surrounded with hardships, and said: "Go to it and look at it and at what I have prepared for its inhabitants therein." He found that it had been surrounded with hardships, and said: "By Your might, I fear that no one will enter it." He said: "Go and look at the Fire and at what I have prepared for its inhabitants therein." He looked at it and found that its parts were consuming one another, then he returned and said: "By Your might, no one will enter it." Then He commanded that it be surrounded with desires, and said: "Return to it and look at it." He looked at it and found that it had been surrounded with desires, then he returned and said: "By Your might, I fear that no one will escape it but will enter it."'
