There was a dispute between the Hell and the Paradise and it (the Hell) said: The haughty and the proud would find abode in me. And the Paradise said: The meek and the humble would find their abode in me. Thereupon Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, (addressing the Hell) said: You are (the means) of My punishment by which I punish those of My servants whom I wish. (And addressing the Paradise) He said: You are only My Mercy by means of which 1 shall show mercy to those whom I wish, but each one of you would be full.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ احْتَجَّتِ النَّارُ وَالْجَنَّةُ فَقَالَتْ هَذِهِ يَدْخُلُنِي الْجَبَّارُونَ وَالْمُتَكَبِّرُونَ وَقَالَتْ هَذِهِ يَدْخُلُنِي الضُّعَفَاءُ وَالْمَسَاكِينُ فَقَالَ اللَّهُ ﷻ لِهَذِهِ أَنْتِ عَذَابِي أُعَذِّبُ بِكِ مَنْ أَشَاءُ وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ أُصِيبُ بِكِ مَنْ أَشَاءُ وَقَالَ لِهَذِهِ أَنْتِ رَحْمَتِي أَرْحَمُ بِكِ مَنْ أَشَاءُ وَلِكُلِّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْكُمَا مِلْؤُهَا  

The Hell and the Paradise fell into dispute and the Hell said: I have been dis- tinguished by the proud and the haughty. And the Paradise said: What is the matter with me that the meek and the humble amongst people and the downtrodden and the simple enter me? Thereupon Allah said to the Paradise: You are (the means) of My Mercy whereby I show mercy to those of My servants whom 1 wish, and He said to the Hell: You are (the means) of punishment whereby 1 punish those of My servants whoml wish. Both of you will be full. The Hell will riot be filled up until Allah puts down His foot in it. The Hell would say: Enough, enough, enough, and at that time it will be filled up, all its parts integrated together.  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ تَحَاجَّتِ النَّارُ وَالْجَنَّةُ فَقَالَتِ النَّارُ أُوثِرْتُ بِالْمُتَكَبِّرِينَ وَالْمُتَجَبِّرِينَ وَقَالَتِ الْجَنَّةُ فَمَا لِي لاَ يَدْخُلُنِي إِلاَّ ضُعَفَاءُ النَّاسِ وَسَقَطُهُمْ وَعَجَزُهُمْ فَقَالَ اللَّهُ لِلْجَنَّةِ أَنْتِ رَحْمَتِي أَرْحَمُ بِكِ مَنْ أَشَاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِي وَقَالَ لِلنَّارِ أَنْتِ عَذَابِي أُعَذِّبُ بِكِ مَنْ أَشَاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِي وَلِكُلِّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْكُمْ مِلْؤُهَا فَأَمَّا النَّارُ فَلاَ تَمْتَلِئُ فَيَضَعُ قَدَمَهُ عَلَيْهَا فَتَقُولُ قَطْ قَطْ فَهُنَالِكَ تَمْتَلِئُ وَيُزْوَى بَعْضُهَا إِلَى بَعْضٍ  

"Paradise and the Fire debated. Paradise said: 'The weak and the poor shall enter me,' and the Fire said: 'The tyrants and the proud shall enter me.' So He said to the Fire: 'You are My Punishment, I take vengeance through you from whom I will,' and He said to Paradise: 'You are My Mercy I show mercy through you to whom I will.'"  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ احْتَجَّتِ الْجَنَّةُ وَالنَّارُ فَقَالَتِ الْجَنَّةُ يَدْخُلُنِي الضُّعَفَاءُ وَالْمَسَاكِينُ وَقَالَتِ النَّارُ يَدْخُلُنِي الْجَبَّارُونَ وَالْمُتَكَبِّرُونَ فَقَالَ لِلنَّارِ أَنْتِ عَذَابِي أَنْتَقِمُ بِكِ مِمَّنْ شِئْتُ وَقَالَ لِلْجَنَّةِ أَنْتِ رَحْمَتِي أَرْحَمُ بِكِ مَنْ شِئْتُ  

"Paradise and the Fire debated. Paradise said: 'The weak and the poor shall enter me,' and the Fire said: 'The tyrants and the proud shall enter me.' So He said to the Fire: 'You are My Punishment, I take vengeance through you from whom I will,' and He said to Paradise: 'You are My Mercy I show mercy through you to whom I will.'" (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2561)  

رَسُولُ ﷺ احْتَجَّتِ النَّارُ وَالْجَنَّةُ فَقَالَتِ النَّارُ يَدْخُلُنِي الْجَبَّارُونَ وَالْمُتَكَبِّرُونَ وَقَالَتِالْجَنَّةُ يَدْخُلُنِي الضُّعَفَاءُ وَالْمَسَاكِينُ فَقَالَ اللهُ ﷻ لِلنَّارِ أَنْتِ عَذَابِي أَنْتَقِمُ بِكِ مِمَّنْ شِئْتُ وَقَالَ لِلْجَنَّةِ أَنْتِ رَحْمَتِي أَرْحَمُ بِكِ مَنْ شِئْتُ  

[Machine] "Abdullah and I heard from Uthman, who narrated from Jarir, who narrated from Al-A'mash, who narrated from Abu Salih, who narrated from Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Paradise and Hell argued amongst themselves. Hell said, 'I am inhabited by the arrogant and the tyrants.' Paradise said, 'I am inhabited by the weak and the poor among the people.' Then Allah decided between them, saying, 'Indeed, you, Paradise, are My mercy; I will have mercy through you on whomever I will. And you, Hell, are My punishment; I will punish through you whomever I will. And each of you will be filled.'"  

عَبْدُ اللهِ وَسَمِعْتُهُ أَنَا مِنْ عُثْمَانَ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ احْتَجَّتِ الْجَنَّةُ وَالنَّارُ فَقَالَتِ النَّارُ فِيَّ الْجَبَّارُونَ وَالْمُتَكَبِّرُونَ وَقَالَتِ الْجَنَّةُ فِيَّ ضُعَفَاءُ النَّاسِ وَمَسَاكِينُهُمْ قَالَ فَقَضَى بَيْنَهُمَا إِنَّكِ الْجَنَّةُ رَحْمَتِي أَرْحَمُ بِكِ مَنْ أَشَاءُ وَإِنَّكِ النَّارُ عَذَابِي أُعَذِّبُ بِكِ مَنْ أَشَاءُ وَلِكِلَاكُمَا عَلَيَّ مِلْؤُهَا  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said: Paradise and Hell began to argue. Paradise said, "O Lord, what is the matter with me that only the poor and humble enter me?" 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." And He said to Paradise, "You are My mercy. I will fill you with whomever I will." And each of them will be filled. As for Paradise, Allah will create for it whatever He wills, and as for Hell, people will be thrown into it and it will say, "Is there any more?" until His foot is placed there, and at that point it will be full and parts of it will overlap with each other, and it will say, "Enough, enough, enough."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ احْتَجَّتْ الْجَنَّةُ وَالنَّارُ فَقَالَتِ الْجَنَّةُ يَا رَبِّ مَا لِي لَا يَدْخُلُنِي إِلَّا فُقَرَاءُ النَّاسِ وَسَقَطُهُمْ؟ وَقَالَتِ النَّارُ يَا رَبِّ مَا لِي لَا يَدْخُلُنِي إِلَّا الْجَبَّارُونَ وَالْمُتَكَبِّرُونَ؟ فَقَالَ لِلنَّارِ أَنْتِ عَذَابِي أُصِيبُ بِكِ مَنْ أَشَاءُ وَقَالَ لِلْجَنَّةِ أَنْتِ رَحْمَتِي أُصِيبُ بِكِ مَنْ أَشَاءُ وَلِكُلِّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْكُمَا مِلْؤُهَا فَأَمَّا الْجَنَّةُ فَإِنَّ اللهَ يُنْشِئُ لَهَا مَا يَشَاءُ وَأَمَّا النَّارُ فَيُلْقَوْنَ فِيهَا وَتَقُولُ هَلْ مِنْ مَزِيدٍ؟ حَتَّى يَضَعَ قَدَمَهُ فِيهَا فَهُنَالِكَ تَمْتَلِئُ وَيُزْوَى بَعْضُهَا إِلَى بَعْضٍ وَتَقُولُ قَطْ قَطْ قَطْ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Paradise and Hellfire disputed among themselves. Hellfire said, 'I shall be inhabited by the arrogant, tyrannical, and the nobles.' Paradise said, 'I shall be inhabited by the poor and the needy.' Allah (Glory be to Him) said to Hellfire, 'You are My punishment, and I shall fill you with whoever I will.' And He said to Paradise, 'You are My mercy, and you are spacious enough to accommodate everything. Each one of you will be filled.'"  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «افْتَخَرَتِ الْجَنَّةُ وَالنَّارُ فَقَالَتِ النَّارُ يَدْخُلُنِي الْجَبَّارُونَ وَالْمُلُوكُ وَالْأَشْرَافُ وَقَالَتِ الْجَنَّةُ يَدْخُلُنِي الْفُقَرَاءُ وَالْمَسَاكِينُ فَقَالَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ وَعَلَا لِلنَّارِ أَنْتِ عَذَابِي أُصِيبُ بِكِ مَنْ أَشَاءُ وَقَالَ لِلْجَنَّةِ أَنْتِ رَحْمَتِي وَسِعْتِ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ وَلِكُلِّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْكُمَا مِلْؤُهَا»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Paradise and Hell argued with each other. Paradise said, 'Why do the weak and poor enter me?' Hell said, 'Why do the arrogant and tyrants enter me?' Allah said, 'You, O Paradise, are My mercy, and I show mercy to whomever I will. And you, O Hell, are My punishment, and I inflict punishment upon whomever I will. And each of you will be filled.'"  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «احْتَجَّتِ الْجَنَّةُ وَالنَّارُ فَقَالَتِ الْجَنَّةُ مَا بَالِي يَدْخُلُنِي الْفُقَرَاءُ وَالضُّعَفَاءُ؟ وَقَالَتِ النَّارُ مَا بَالِي يَدْخُلُنِي الْجَبَّارُونَ وَالْمُتَكَبِّرُونَ؟ فَقَالَ اللَّهُ أَنْتِ رَحْمَتِي أَرْحَمُ بِكِ مَنْ أَشَاءُ وَقَالَ لِلنَّارِ أَنْتِ عَذَابِي أُصِيبُ بِكِ مَنْ أَشَاءُ وَلِكُلِّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهُنَّ مِلْؤُهَا»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said that Paradise and Hell argued. Paradise said, "O Lord, what is wrong with me that only the poor and destitute among the people enter me, and their weak and sick and downtrodden?" And Hell said, "O Lord, what is wrong with me that only the tyrants and the arrogant enter me?" So Allah said to Hell, "You are My punishment, I will fill you with whomever I will." And He said to Paradise, "You are My mercy, I will fill you with whomever I will." And each of them would be filled to capacity. As for the people of Paradise, Allah creates for them whatever He wills, and as for the people of Hell, they will be thrown into it and it will say, "Is there any more?" 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."  

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  

"اختصمت الجنة والنَّارُ إلى ربِّهما، فقالت الجنَّةُ: يا رب ما لى لا يدخُلُنى إلا ضُعَاءُ الناس وسَقَطُهم؟ . وقالت النارُ: ما لى لا يدخُلُنى إلا الجبارونَ والمتكبرونَ؟ فقال للجنةِ أنتِ رحمتى أصيبُ بك من أشاء، وقال للنارِ أنت عذابى أصيب  

"Paradise and the Fire debated. Paradise said: 'The weak and the poor shall enter me,' and the Fire said: 'The tyrants and the proud shall enter me.' So He said to the Fire: 'You are My Punishment, I take vengeance through you from whom I will,' and He said to Paradise: 'You are My Mercy I show mercy through you to whom I will.'" (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2561)   

"احتجت الجنةُ والنارُ، فقالت الجنة: يدخلنى الضعفاءُ والمساكينُ، وقالتُ النارُ: يدخلنى الجبَّارونَ والمتكَبِّرونُ، فقال اللهُ للنارِ: أنتِ عذابى أنتقم بك ممن شئت، وقال للجنة: أنتِ رحمتى أرحمُ بك من شِئْتُ، ولكل واحدةٍ منكما مِلْؤُها".
