2561. Abū Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Paradise and the Fire debated. Paradise said: 'The weak and the poor shall enter me,' and the Fire said: 'The tyrants and the proud shall enter me.' So He said to the Fire: 'You are My Punishment, I take vengeance through you from whom I will,' and He said to Paradise: 'You are My Mercy I show mercy through you to whom I will.'" (Hasan) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Sahīh.
٢٥٦١ - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «احْتَجَّتِ الْجَنَّةُ وَالنَّارُ،» فَقَالَتِ الْجَنَّةُ: يَدْخُلُنِي الضُّعَفَاءُ وَالْمَسَاكِينُ، وَقَالَتِ النَّارُ: يَدْخُلُنِي الْجَبَّارُونَ وَالْمُتَكَبِّرُونَ، فَقَالَ: لِلنَّارِ أَنْتِ عَذَابِي أَنْتَقِمُ بِكِ مِمَّنْ شِئْتُ، وَقَالَ لِلْجَنَّةِ، أَنْتِ رَحْمَتِي أَرْحَمُ بِكِ مَنْ شِئْتُ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

Paradise is the symbol of Allāh's Beauty and Mercy, which is its distinctive feature. Hell's distinctive feature, on the other hand, is that it is the symbol of Allāh's Majesty and Wrath. Thus, both can claim their distinctiveness and superiority in their respective areas.
