2601. Abū Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "I have not seen the likes of the Fire in which the one who runs from it sleeps, nor the likes of Paradise in which the one who seeks it sleeps." (Da'if) [Abū 'Eisā said:] We only know this Hadīth from the narration of Yahyā bin 'Ubaidullāh. Yahyā bin 'Ubaidullāh is weak according to [most of] the people of Hadīth. Shu'bah criticized him. [And Yahyā bin 'Ubaidullāh is Ibn Mawhab, and he is from Al-Madinah.

Arabic text

٢٦٠١ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌سُوَيْدٌ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا ‌عَبْدُ اللهِ ، عَنْ ‌يَحْيَى بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَا رَأَيْتُ مِثْلَ النَّارِ نَامَ هَارِبُهَا،» وَلَا مِثْلَ الْجَنَّةِ نَامَ طَالِبُهَا. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ إِنَّمَا نَعْرِفُهُ مِنْ حَدِيثِ يَحْيَى بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ، وَيَحْيَى بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ ضَعِيفٌ عِنْدَ أَكْثَرِ أَهْلِ الْحَدِيثِ، تَكَلَّمَ فِيهِ شُعْبَةُ. وَيَحْيَى بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ هُوَ ابْنُ مَوْهَبٍ وَهُوَ مَدَنِيٌّ.

Commentary

It is a part of human nature that when a person flees from something scary or calamitous he runs on and on without rest or sleep until he feels secure from it. Similarly, when someone strives to get a thing he loves and prizes above everything, he neither rests nor sleeps until he attains it. In the same way, we must do our best to ward off Hellfire and win our place in Paradise.
