📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "When Allah created Paradise and Hellfire, He sent Angel Jibreel to Paradise saying: 'Look at it and see what I have prepared therein for its people.' Jibreel came and looked at it and what Allah had prepared therein for its people. He returned to Allah and he said: 'By Your Might, no one will hear of it but that he will enter it.' Allah ordered that it be surrounded by trials (and things that are disliked or too difficult for most people to do) and He said: 'Return to it and look at what I have prepared therein for its people.' Jibreel returned and found that it was surrounded by hardships. He returned to Allah and he said: 'By Your Might, I fear that no one will enter it.' Allah said: 'Go to the Hellfire and look at it and see what I have prepared therein for its people.' Jibreel found that it was in layers, one above another. He returned to Allah and he said: 'By Your Might, no one who hears of it will enter it.' Allah ordered that it be surrounded by lusts and desires and He said: 'Return to it.' Jibreel returned and he said: 'By Your Might, I fear that no one will escape it.'"
