Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 589
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلاَمٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ: احْتَجَّتِ النَّارُ وَالْجَنَّةُ، فَقَالَتِ النَّارُ: يَدْخُلُنِي الْمُتَكَبِّرُونَ وَالْمُتَجَبِّرُونَ. وَقَالَتِ الْجَنَّةُ: لاَ يَدْخُلُنِي إِلاَّ الضُّعَفَاءُ الْمَسَاكِينُ. فَقَالَ لِلنَّارِ: أَنْتِ عَذَابِي، أَنْتَقِمُ بِكِ مِمَّنْ شِئْتُ، وَقَالَ لِلْجَنَّةِ: أَنْتِ رَحْمَتِي أَرْحَمُ بِكِ مَنْ شِئْتُ.

Muhammad ibn Salam related to us: Isma‘il ibn Ja‘far informed us, from Muhammad ibn ‘Amr, from Abu Salamah, from Abu Hurayrah, that the Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him and grant him peace, said: “The Fire and the Garden disputed. The Fire said, ‘The arrogant and overbearing will enter me.’ The Garden said, ‘Only the weak and poor will enter me.’ Allah said to the Fire, ‘You are My punishment; through you I will take retribution on whomever I will.’ And He said to the Garden, ‘You are My mercy; through you I will show mercy to whomever I will.’”
