Sunan Abi Dawud, 4744

Rapporté par Abu Hurairah : Le Messager d’Allah ﷺ a dit : « Lorsque Allah créa le Paradis, Il dit à Gabriel : “Va et regarde-le.” Il y alla, le regarda, puis revint et dit : “Ô mon Seigneur ! Par Ta puissance, personne qui en entendra parler ne manquera d’y entrer.” Alors Allah l’entoura de choses difficiles et dit : “Va et regarde-le, Gabriel.” Il y alla, le regarda, puis revint et dit : “Ô mon Seigneur ! Par Ta puissance, je crains que personne n’y entre.” Quand Allah créa l’Enfer, Il dit : “Va et regarde-le, Gabriel.” Il y alla, le regarda, puis revint et dit : “Ô mon Seigneur ! Par Ta puissance, personne qui en entendra parler n’y entrera.” Allah l’entoura alors de choses désirables et dit : “Va et regarde-le, Gabriel.” Il y alla, le regarda, puis revint et dit : “Ô mon Seigneur ! Par Ta puissance et Ta force, je crains que personne n’y échappe.” »

Narrated AbuHurayrah: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: When Allah created Paradise, He said to Gabriel: Go and look at it. He went and looked at it, then came and said: O my Lord! By Thy might, no one who hears of it will fail to enter it. He then surrounded it with disagreeable things, and said: Go and look at it, Gabriel. He went and looked at it, then came and said: O my Lord! By Thy might, I am afraid that no one will enter it. When Allah created Hell, He said: Go and look at it, Gabriel. He went and looked at it, then came and said: O my Lord! By Thy might, no one who hears of it will enter it. He then surrounded it with desirable things and said: Go and look at it, Gabriel. He went, looked at it, then came and said: O my Lord! By Thy might and power, I am afraid that no one will remain who does not enter it
