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."  

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ تَحَاجَّتِ الْجَنَّةُ وَالنَّارُ فَقَالَتِ النَّارُ أُوثِرْتُ بِالْمُتَكَبِّرِينَ وَالْمُتَجَبِّرِينَ وَقَالَتِ الْجَنَّةُ مَا لِي لاَ يَدْخُلُنِي إِلاَّ ضُعَفَاءُ النَّاسِ وَسَقَطُهُمْ قَالَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى لِلْجَنَّةِ أَنْتِ رَحْمَتِي أَرْحَمُ بِكِ مَنْ أَشَاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِي وَقَالَ لِلنَّارِ إِنَّمَا أَنْتِ عَذَابٌ أُعَذِّبُ بِكِ مَنْ أَشَاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِي وَلِكُلِّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهُمَا مِلْؤُهَا فَأَمَّا النَّارُ فَلاَ تَمْتَلِئُ حَتَّى يَضَعَ رِجْلَهُ فَتَقُولُ قَطٍ قَطٍ قَطٍ فَهُنَالِكَ تَمْتَلِئُ وَيُزْوَى بَعْضُهَا إِلَى بَعْضٍ وَلاَ يَظْلِمُ اللَّهُ ﷻ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ أَحَدًا وَأَمَّا الْجَنَّةُ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ ﷻ يُنْشِئُ لَهَا خَلْقًا  

The Prophet ﷺ said, "Paradise and Hell (Fire) quarrelled in the presence of their Lord. Paradise said, 'O Lord! What is wrong with me that only the poor and humble people enter me ?' Hell (Fire) said, I have been favored with the arrogant people.' So Allah said to Paradise, 'You are My Mercy,' and said to Hell, 'You are My Punishment which I inflict upon whom I wish, and I shall fill both of you.'" The Prophet added, "As for Paradise, (it will be filled with good people) because Allah does not wrong any of His created things, and He creates for Hell (Fire) whomever He will, and they will be thrown into it, and it will say thrice, 'Is there any more, till Allah (will put) His Foot over it and it will become full and its sides will come close to each other and it will say, 'Qat! Qat! Qat! (Enough! Enough! Enough!) .  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ اخْتَصَمَتِ الْجَنَّةُ وَالنَّارُ إِلَى رَبِّهِمَا فَقَالَتِ الْجَنَّةُ يَا رَبِّ مَا لَهَا لاَ يَدْخُلُهَا إِلاَّ ضُعَفَاءُ النَّاسِ وَسَقَطُهُمْ وَقَالَتِ النَّارُ يَعْنِي أُوثِرْتُ بِالْمُتَكَبِّرِينَ فَقَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى لِلْجَنَّةِ أَنْتِ رَحْمَتِي وَقَالَ لِلنَّارِ أَنْتِ عَذَابِي أُصِيبُ بِكِ مَنْ أَشَاءُ وَلِكُلِّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْكُمَا مِلْؤُهَا قَالَ فَأَمَّا الْجَنَّةُ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ يَظْلِمُ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ أَحَدًا وَإِنَّهُ يُنْشِئُ لِلنَّارِ مَنْ يَشَاءُ فَيُلْقَوْنَ فِيهَا فَتَقُولُ هَلْ مِنْ مَزِيدٍ ثَلاَثًا حَتَّى يَضَعَ فِيهَا قَدَمَهُ فَتَمْتَلِئُ وَيُرَدُّ بَعْضُهَا إِلَى بَعْضٍ وَتَقُولُ قَطْ قَطْ قَطْ  

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  

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).  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ أَحَادِيثَ مِنْهَا وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ تَحَاجَّتِ الْجَنَّةُ وَالنَّارُ فَقَالَتِ النَّارُ أُوثِرْتُ بِالْمُتَكَبِّرِينَ وَالْمُتَجَبِّرِينَ وَقَالَتِ الْجَنَّةُ فَمَا لِي لاَ يَدْخُلُنِي إِلاَّ ضُعَفَاءُ النَّاسِ وَسَقَطُهُمْ وَغِرَّتُهُمْ قَالَ اللَّهُ لِلْجَنَّةِ إِنَّمَا أَنْتِ رَحْمَتِي أَرْحَمُ بِكِ مَنْ أَشَاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِي وَقَالَ لِلنَّارِ إِنَّمَا أَنْتِ عَذَابِي أُعَذِّبُ بِكِ مَنْ أَشَاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِي وَلِكُلِّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْكُمَا مِلْؤُهَا فَأَمَّا النَّارُ فَلاَ تَمْتَلِئُ حَتَّى يَضَعَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى رِجْلَهُ تَقُولُ قَطْ قَطْ قَطْ فَهُنَالِكَ تَمْتَلِئُ وَيُزْوَى بَعْضُهَا إِلَى بَعْضٍ وَلاَ يَظْلِمُ اللَّهُ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ أَحَدًا وَأَمَّا الْجَنَّةُ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ يُنْشِئُ لَهَا خَلْقًا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Paradise and Hell competed with each other. Hell said, 'O Lord, I will be filled with the proud and arrogant, with kings and nobles.' Paradise said, 'O Lord, I will be filled with the poor, weak, and needy.' Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, said to Hell, 'You are My punishment; I will fill you with whomever I will.' And He said to Paradise, 'You are My mercy; your capacity is expansive and can accommodate everything.' Hell will be filled with its inhabitants and it will say, 'Is there more?' until Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, places His foot on it and it will contract and say, 'Enough, enough!' As for Paradise, it will remain as Allah wills it to remain. Then Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, will create from it whatever He wills."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ افْتَخَرَتِ الْجَنَّةُ وَالنَّارُ فَقَالَتِ النَّارُ أَيْ رَبِّ يَدْخُلُنِي الْجَبَابِرَةُ وَالْمُلُوكُ وَالْعُظَمَاءُ وَالْأَشْرَافُ وَقَالَتِ الْجَنَّةُ أَيْ رَبِّ يَدْخُلُنِي الْفُقَرَاءُ وَالضُّعَفَاءُ وَالْمَسَاكِينُ فَقَالَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى لِلنَّارِ أَنْتِ عَذَابِي أُصِيبُ بِكِ مِنْ أَشَاءُ وَقَالَ لِلْجَنَّةِ أَنْتِ رَحْمَتِي وَسِعَتْ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ وَلِكُلِّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْكُمَا مِلْؤُهَا فَأَمَّا النَّارُ فَيُلْقَى فِيهَا أَهْلُهَا وَتَقُولُ هَلْ مِنْ مَزِيدٍ؟ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَهَا تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى فَيَضَعُ قَدَمَهُ عَلَيْهَا فَتُزْوَى وَتَقُولُ قَدْنِي قَدْنِي وَأَمَّا الْجَنَّةُ فَتَبْقَى مَا شَاءَ اللهُ أَنْ تَبْقَى ثُمَّ يُنْشِئُ اللهُ لَهَا خَلْقًا بِمَا يَشَاءُ وقَالَ حَسَنٌ الْأَشْيَبُ وَأَمَّا الْجَنَّةُ فَتَبْقَى مَا شَاءَ اللهُ أَنْ تَبْقَى  

[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."

[Machine] Narrated by the Prophet, ﷺ , he said: "Paradise and Hell argued with each other. 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.' Paradise will never be unjust to any of His creation as He will create in it what He pleases. As for Hell, it will continue to say: 'Is there more?' 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."

"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".
