When Allah created Paradise and Hell, He sent Jibril, peace be upon him, to Paradise and said: 'Look at it and at what I have prepared for its people in it.' He looked at it, then he came back and said: 'By Your Glory, no one will hear of it but he will enter it.' So He commanded that it be surrounded by hardships and said: 'Go and look at it and at what I have prepared for its people in it.' He looked at it and saw that it had been surrounded with hardships. He (Jibril) said: 'By Your Glory, I fear that no one will enter it.' He (Allah) said: 'Go and look at the Fire and at what I have prepared for its people in it.' So he looked at it and parts of it were piled upon other parts. He came back and said: 'By Your Glory, no one will enter it.' So He commanded that it be surrounded with pleasures and said: 'Go and look at it.' So he looked at it and saw that it was surrounded with pleasures. He came back and said: 'By Your Glory, I fear that no one will be saved from it and all will enter it.'

:Telah mengabarkan kepada kami Yunus bin Abdul A'la berkata; telah menceritakan kepada kami Ibnu Wahb berkata; telah mengabarkan kepadaku Yunus dari Ibnu Syihab berkata; telah mengabarkan kepadaku Abdullah bin Ka'b dari ayahnya bahwa ia berkata kepada Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam ketika ia mendapatkan taubat Wahai Rasulullah sesungguhnya aku memberikan hartaku sebagai sedekah kepada Allah dan Rasul-Nya. Maka Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda kepadanya: Tahanlah sebagian hartamu hal itu lebih baik bagimu. Abu 'Abdurrahman berkata Sepertinya Az Zuhri mendengar hadits ini dari Abdullah bin Ka'b dan dari 'Abdurrahman dalam hadits yang panjang ini terdapat taubat Ka'b.
