٣١ - حَدَّثَنِي إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، أَخْبَرَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: «إِنَّ الْجَنَّةَ حُظِرَتْ بِالصَّبْرِ وَالْمَكَارِهِ، فَلَا تُؤْتَى إِلَّا مِنْ بَابِ صَبْرٍ أَوْ مَكْرُوهٍ، وَإِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ شُعِّبَتْ بِالشَّهَوَاتِ وَاللَّذَّاتِ، فَلَا تُؤْتَى إِلَّا مِنْ بَابِ شَهْوَةٍ أَوْ لَذَّةٍ»
