Jami at-Tirmidhi 2560 (Book 38, Hadith 38) #28195
The Creation of Paradise & The Fire

SUMMARY: Allah created Paradise and the Fire, and surrounded them with hardships and desires respectively. Jibril was sent to observe both places, and he found that no one would be able to resist the temptation of the Fire.

Abu Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "When Allah created Paradise and the Fire, He sent Jibril to Paradise , saying: 'Look at it and at what I have prepared in it for its inhabitants'." He (s.a.w) said: "So he came to it and looked at it, and at what Allah had prepared in it. He (Jibril) said: 'Indeed, by your Might, none shall hear of it except that he shall enter it'. Then He gave the order for it to be surrounded with hardships. He said: 'Return to it and look at it, and at what I have prepared in it for its inhabitants'." He (s.a.w) said: "So he returned to it and found it surrounded with hardships. He returned to Him and said: 'Indeed, by your Might, I fear that none shall enter it'. He (s.a.w) said: 'Go to the Fire and look at it and at what I have prepared in it for its inhabitants'. So he found it, one part of it riding the other. So he returned to Him and said: 'Indeed, by your Might, none shall hear of it and then enter it'. So He gave the order for it to be surrounded with desires, then He said: 'Return to it.,' so he (Jibril) returned to it, then he said: 'Indeed, by Your Might, I fear that none shall be saved from it except that he shall enter it'."
