Narrated: Abu Said From Sahih Muslim
the Messenger of Allah (may
peace be upon him) said: The (permanent) inhabitants of the
Fire are those who are doomed to it, and verily they would
neither die nor live in it (al-’Qur'an, xx. 47; lxxxvii. 13).
But the people whom the Fire would afflict (temporarily) on
account of their sins, or so said (the narrator)" on account
of their misdeeds," He would cause them to die till they would
be turned into charcoal. Then they would be granted
intercession and would be brought in groups and would be
spread on the rivers of Paradise and then it would be said: O
inhabitants of Paradise, pour water over them; then they would
sprout forth like the sprouting of seed in the silt carried by
flood. A man among the people said: (It appears) as if the
Messenger of Allah lived in the steppe.
The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: Allah, the High and Glorious, would say: O Adam I and he would say: At Thy service, at thy beck and call, O Lord, and the good is in Thy Hand. Allah would say: Bring forth the group of (the denizens of) Fire. He (Adam) would say: Who are the denizens of Hell? It would be said: They are out of every thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine. He (the Holy Prophet) said: It is at this juncture that every child would become white-haired and every pregnant woman would abort and you would see people in a state of intoxication, and they would not be in fact intoxicated but grievous will be the torment of Allah. He (the narrator) said: This had a very depressing effect upon them (upon the companions of the Holy Prophet) and they said: Messenger of Allah, who amongst us would be (that unfortunate) person (who would be doomed to Hell)? He said: Good tidings for you, Yajuj Majuj would be those thousands (who would be the denizens of Hell) and a person (selected for Paradise) would be amongst you. He (the narrator) further reported that he (the Messenger of Allah) again said: By Him in Whose Hand is thy life, I hope that you would constitute one-fourth of the inhabitants of Paradise. We extolled Allah and we glorified (Him). He (the Holy Prophet) again said: BY Him in Whose Hand is my life, I wish you would constitute one-third of the inhabitants of Paradise. We extolled Allah and Glorified (Him). He (the Holy Prophet) again said: By Him in Whose Hand is my life, I hope that you would constitute half of the inhabitants of Paradise. Your likeness among the people is the likeness of a white hair on the skin of a black ox or a strip on the foreleg of an ass.
