Ahadith Qudsi-25
Paradise is surrounded with hardships whereas Hell is encompassed with lusts
25) Narrated Abu Huraira (r.a) that Allah's Messenger (s.a.w.s.) said: When
Allah created Paradise, He ordered Jibrael: Go and see it. So he went and saw
it. Then he returned and said: O Lord, By Your glory! Who hears of it would
love entering it. Then He encompassed it with unpleasant things (hardships of
worship) and said: O Jibrael! Go (again) and see it. So he went away to look at
it. Then he came back and said: O lord, By Your glory! I fear that no one will
enter it. The prophet (s.a.w.s.) said: When Allah created Hell, He said: O
Jibrael, go and see it. So he went and saw it. Then he turned up and said: O
Lord, By Your glory! No one who hears of it will enter it. So He encompassed it
with lusts (worldy desires) and said: O Jibrael! Go back and see it. He went
again to see it and came back saying: O Lord, By Your glory! I fear that no one
will escape from entering it.
(This Hadith is fair and reported by Abu Daud, tirmidhi, Nasa'I, Ahmad in
Musnad and Al-Hakim in Mustadrak)
Allah has promised to give paradise in reward to those who do good deeds for
His sake. But man is misguided by the Satan and worldly lusts which cause him
to do bad deeds that lead to Hell. He who undergoes hardships in the cause of
Allah; these hardships will lead him to the enternal abode of pleasures.
