Arabic Text
وَبِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمَّا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ الْجَنَّةَ وَالنَّارَ أَرْسَلَ جِبْرِيلَ قَالَ انْظُرْ إِلَيْهَا وَإِلَى مَا أَعْدَدْتُ لِأَهْلِهَا فِيهَا فَجَاءَ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهَا وَإِلَى مَا أَعَدَّ اللَّهُ لِأَهْلِهَا فِيهَا فَرَجَعَ إِلَيْهِ قَالَ وَعِزَّتِكَ لَا يَسْمَعُ بِهَا أَحَدٌ إِلَّا دَخَلَهَا فَأَمَرَ بِهَا فَحُجِبَتْ بِالْمَكَارِهِ قَالَ ارْجِعْ إِلَيْهَا فَانْظُرْ إِلَيْهَا وَإِلَى مَا أَعْدَدْتُ لِأَهْلِهَا فِيهَا قَالَ فَرَجَعَ إِلَيْهَا وَإِذَا هِيَ قَدْ حُجِبَتْ بِالْمَكَارِهِ فَرَجَعَ إِلَيْهِ قَالَ وَعِزَّتِكَ قَدْ خَشِيتُ أَنْ لَا يَدْخُلَهَا أَحَدٌ قَالَ اذْهَبْ إِلَى النَّارِ فَانْظُرْ إِلَيْهَا وَإِلَى مَا أَعْدَدْتُ لِأَهْلِهَا فِيهَا فَإِذَا هِيَ يَرْكَبُ بَعْضُهَا بَعْضًا فَرَجَعَ قَالَ وَعِزَّتِكَ لَقَدْ خَشِيتُ أَنْ لَا يَسْمَعَ بِهَا أَحَدٌ فَيَدْخُلَهَا فَأَمَرَ بِهَا فَحُفَّتْ بِالشَّهَوَاتِ فَ
قَالَ وَعِزَّتِكَ لَقَدْ خَشِيتُ أَنْ لَا يَنْجُوَ مِنْهَا أَحَدٌ إِلَّا دَخَلَهَا

English Translation
Abu Hurayrah رضي الله عنه reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'When Allah created Paradise and the Fire, He sent Jibril to Paradise and said: Look at it and at what I have prepared for its inhabitants. He looked at it and at what Allah had prepared for its inhabitants. He returned and said: By Your Glory, no one will hear of it except that he will enter it. So Allah commanded that it be surrounded by hardships. He said: Go back and look at it. He went back and saw that it was surrounded by hardships. He returned and said: By Your Glory, I fear that no one will enter it.'
