PARADISE AND HELL H 255 "There was a debate between Paradise and Hell. Hell said: 'I shall encompass those who are tyrants and arrogant.' Paradise said: 'My inhabitants will be the weak and the needy.' Allah decided between them, saying: 'You are Paradise, My Mercy. Through you I will have mercy on whomsoever I will; and you are Hell, My Punishment. Through you I will punish whosoever I will. It is for Me to fill both of you.'" R 255 Muslim with a chain up to Abu Sa'id Khudri who related that the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
254- وعن أَبي سعيد الخدري رضي الله عنه ، عن النَّبيّ صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم ، قَالَ : "احْتَجَّتِ الجَنَّةُ والنَّارُ ، فقالتِ النَّارُ : فِيَّ الجَبَّارُونَ وَالمُتَكَبِّرُونَ . وَقَالتِ الجَنَّةُ : فِيَّ ضُعَفَاءُ النَّاسِ وَمَسَاكِينُهُمْ ، فَقَضَى اللهُ بَيْنَهُمَا : إنَّكِ الجَنَّةُ رَحْمَتِي أرْحَمُ بِكِ مَنْ أشَاءُ ، وَإنَّكِ النَّارُ عَذَابِي أُعَذِّبُ بِكِ مَنْ أشَاءُ ، وَلِكلَيْكُمَا عَلَيَّ مِلْؤُهَا" رواه مسلم .
