English Translation

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: 'When Allah created Paradise, He said to Jibril: Go and look at it. He went and looked at it, then returned and said: O Lord, by Your Might, no one will hear of it except that he will enter it. Then it was surrounded with hardships, and He said: Go and look at it. He went and looked at it, then returned and said: O Lord, by Your Might, I fear that no one will enter it. When He created the Fire, He said: Go and look at it. He went and looked at it, then returned and said: By Your Might, no one who hears of it will enter it. Then it was surrounded with desires, and He said: Go and look at it. He went and looked at it, then returned and said: O Lord, by Your Might, I fear that no one will escape it.'
