LessonsPoverty, Responsible Speech, People's Rights, and Self-Discipline (Hadith 115–120)Quiz

حُجِبَتِ النَّارُ بِالشَّهَوَاتِ، وَحُجِبَتِ الْجَنَّةُ بِالْمَكَارِهِ
The Fire is veiled by desires, and Paradise is veiled by difficult things.

Source: البخاري ومسلم

حُجِبَتْ means “was veiled or screened.” الشَّهَوَاتِ refers to desires that can draw a person toward wrongful pleasure, while الْمَكَارِهِ refers to things that feel difficult or unpleasant but may require patience and discipline.

حُجِبَتْ is a passive past verb. النَّارُ and, in the second clause, الْجَنَّةُ function as passive grammatical subjects. Both nouns are feminine, so the verb includes feminine تْ. The preposition in بِالشَّهَوَاتِ and بِالْمَكَارِهِ expresses their relation to the veiling.
