http://islamicweb.com/quran/hadith_qudsi.htm

Hadith Qudsi 38:

On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah [The Most High] be pleased with him), who said that the Messenger of Allah [The Most High]  said: 

When Allah created Paradise and Hell-fire, He sent Gabriel to Paradise, saying: Look at it and at what I have prepared therein for its inhabitants.  

The Prophet said: So he came to it and looked at it and at what Allah had prepared therein for its inhabitants. 

The Prophet said: So he returned to Him and said: By your glory, no one hears of it without entering it. 

So He ordered that it be encompassed by forms of hardship, and He said: Return to it and look at what I have prepared therein for its inhabitants. 

The Prophet  said: So he returned to it and found that it was encompassed by forms of hardship⁽¹⁾. 

Then he returned to Him and said: By Your glory, I fear that no one will enter it. 

He said: Go to Hell-fire and look at it and what I have prepared therein for its inhabitants, and he fount that it was in layers, one above the other. 

Then he returned to Him and said: By Your glory, no one who hears of it will enter it. So He ordered that it be encompassed by lusts. 

Then He said: Return to it. And he returned to it and said: By Your glory, I am frightened that no one will escape from entering it. 

(1) The Arabic word used here is "makarih", the literal meaning of which is "things that are disliked". In this context it refers to forms of religious discipline that man usually finds onerous. 

It was related by Tirmidhi, who said that it was a good and sound Hadith (also by Abu Dawud and an-Nasa'i).

Hadith Qudsi 24:

On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah [The Most High] be pleased with him), who said that the Messenger of Allah [The Most High]  said: 

If Allah has loved a servant [of His] He calls Gabriel (on whom be peace) and says: I love So and-so, therefore love him. He (the Prophet pbuh) said: So Gabriel loves him. Then he (Gabriel) calls out in heaven, saying: Allah loves So-and-so, therefore love him. And the inhabitants of heaven love him. He (the Prophet pbuh) said: Then acceptance is established for him on earth. 

And if Allah has abhorred a servant [of His], He calls Gabriel and says: I abhor So-and-so, therefore abhor him. So Gabriel abhors him. Then Gabriel calls out to the inhabitants of heaven: Allah abhors So-and-so, therefore abhor him. He (the Prophet pbuh) said: So they abhor him, and abhorrence is established for him on earth.
