ahmad:8164

The Paradise and the Hell fell into dispute and the Hell said: 1 have been distinguished for accommodating (the haughty and proud in me), and the Paradise said: What is the matter that the meek and the humble and the downtrodden and simple would find an abode in me? Thereupon Allah said to Paradise: You are a (means) of My Mercy. 1 shall show mercy through you to one whom I will from amongst My servants. And lie said to the Hell: You are a (sign) of My chastisement and I shall chastise through you anyone whom I will from amongst My servants and both of you, would be full. And as regards the Hell it would not be full until Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, places His foot therein, and it would say: Enough, enough, enough, and it would be then full and the one part would draw very close to the other one and Allah would not treat unjustly anyone amongst His creation and He would create another creation for the Paradise (to accommodate it).

The Prophet ﷺ said, "Paradise and the Fire (Hell) argued, and the Fire (Hell) said, "I have been given the privilege of receiving the arrogant and the tyrants.' Paradise said, 'What is the matter with me? Why do only the weak and the humble among the people enter me?' On that, Allah said to Paradise. 'You are My Mercy which I bestow on whoever I wish of my servants.' Then Allah said to the (Hell) Fire, 'You are my (means of) punishment by which I punish whoever I wish of my slaves. And each of you will have its fill.' As for the Fire (Hell), it will not be filled till Allah puts His Foot over it whereupon it will say, 'Qati! Qati!' At that time it will be filled, and its different parts will come closer to each other; and Allah will not wrong any of His created beings. As regards Paradise, Allah will create a new creation to fill it with."

And Hell said, "O Lord, what is the matter with me that only the tyrants and arrogant enter me?" So Allah said to Hell, "You are My punishment. I will fill you with whomever I will."

Paradise said: 'O Lord, what is it that makes the weak and humble enter it, while the arrogant and powerful do not?' Hell said: 'O Lord, what is it that makes the arrogant and powerful enter me, while the weak and humble do not?' He said to Paradise: 'You are My mercy; I will grant entry to whomever I please.' And He said to Hell: 'You are My punishment; I will inflict it upon whomever I please. Each of you will be filled.'

And they will continue to be thrown into it, and it will keep asking: 'Is there more?' Until Allah places His foot in it, at which point it will be filled and some parts will embrace others, saying: 'Enough, enough."

Until Allah puts His foot in it, then it will be filled and some parts of it will join with other parts, and it will say, "Enough, enough, enough."  

الكبرى للنسائي:١١٤٥٨أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ ثَوْرٍ عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنِ ابْنِ سِيرِينَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ احْتَجَّتِ الْجَنَّةُ وَالنَّارُ فَقَالَتِ الْجَنَّةُ يَا رَبِّ مَا لِي لَا يَدْخُلُنِي إِلَّا فُقَرَاءُ النَّاسِ وَمَسَاكِينُهُمْ وَسُقَّاطُهُمْ وَقَالَتِ النَّارُ يَا رَبِّ مَا لِي لَا يَدْخُلُنِي إِلَّا الْجَبَّارُونَ وَالْمُتَكَبِّرُونَ فَقَالَ لِلنَّارِ أَنْتَ عَذَابِي أُصِيبُ بِكِ مَنْ أَشَاءُ وَقَالَ لِلْجَنَّةِ أَنْتَ رَحْمَتِي أُصِيبُ بِكِ مَنْ أَشَاءُ وَلِكُلِّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْكُمْ مِلْؤُهَا فَأَمَّا أَهْلُ الْجَنَّةِ فَإِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ يُنْشِئُ لَهَا مَا شَاءَ وَأَهْلُ النَّارِ فَيُلْقَوْنَ فِيهَا فَتَقُولُ هَلْ مِنْ مَزِيدٍ؟ حَتَّى يَضَعَ قَدَمَهُ فِيهَا فَهُنَاكَ تَمْتَلِئُ وَيَنْزَوِي بَعْضُهَا إِلَى بَعْضٍ وَتَقُولُ قَطُّ قَطُّ قَطُّ

"تحاجت النار والجنة؛ فقالت النار: أوثرت بالمتكبرين والمتجبرين, وقالت الجنة: فما لي لا يدخلنى إلا ضعفاء الناس, وسقطهم, وعجزهم, فقال الله - ﷻ - للجنة: إنما أنت رحمتى, أرحم بك من أشاء من عبادى, وقال للنار: إنما أنت عذابى؛ أعذب بك من أشاء من عبادى, ولكل واحدة منكما ملؤها؛ فأما النار فلا تمتلئ حتى يضع الله - تعالى - قدمه عليها, فتقول: قط, قط, فهنالك تمتلئ, ويزوى بعضها إلى بعض, فلا يظلم الله من خلقه أحدا, وأما الجنة فإن الله ينشئ لها خلقا".
