Why do only the weak and the humble among the people enter me?' On
that, Allah said to Paradise, 'You are My Mercy which I bestow on
whoever I wish of my servants.' Then Allah said to the (Hell) Fire,
'You aremy (means of) punishment by which I punish whoever I wish ofmy
slaves. And each of you will have its fill.' As for the Fire (Hell),
it will not be filled till Allah putsHis Foot over it whereupon it
will say, 'Qati! Qati!' At that time it will be filled, and its
different parts will come closer to each other; and Allah will not
wrong any of His created beings. As regards Paradise, Allah will
create a new creation to fill it with. "
