241 - Abū Naṣr al-Tammār narrated to us: Ḥammād b. Salama narrated to us: Muḥammad b. ʿAmr narrated to us, from Abū Salama, from Abū Hurayra, who said: The Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, said: "When God created Paradise, He said to Gabriel: 'Go and look at it.' He said: So he went and looked at it, then said: 'O my Lord, by Your might, no one will hear of it except that he will enter it.' Then He surrounded it with hardships, then said: 'Go and look at it.' So he went and looked at it, then said: 'By Your might, I fear that no one will enter it.' And when God, Mighty and Majestic, created Hellfire, He said to Gabriel: 'Go and look at it.' So he went and looked at it, then said: 'O my Lord, by Your might, no one will hear of it and then enter it.' Then He surrounded it with desires, then said to Gabriel: 'Go and look at it.' So he went and looked at it, then said: 'O my Lord, by Your might, I fear that no one will remain except that he will enter it.'"
