It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Nu'man bin Bashir (may Allah be pleased with him); he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "On the Day of Resurrection, the lightest punishment among the people of Hell will be for a man under the soles of whose feet there will be two embers, from the heat of which his brain will boil as a cooking pot and a copper kettle boil." And as for the hadith of Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him):

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "On the Day of Resurrection, the lightest punishment among the people of Hell will be for a man who will have been made to wear two shoes of fire, from which his brain will be boiling, and he will also be receiving other portions of the punishment. Among them will be some who will be in the Fire up to their knees along with other portions of the punishment, some who will be in the Fire up to the tip of the nose along with other portions of the punishment, some who will be in the Fire up to the collarbones (the upper part of the chest) along with other portions of the punishment, and among them will be some who will be completely submerged in the Fire." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it. And as for the hadith of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both):

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both); he said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The lightest punishment among people will be for Abu Talib; on his feet will be two shoes of fire, from the heat of which his brain will be boiling." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it! Both of them (Imam Bukhari and Imam Muslim) agreed only upon the hadith of Abd al-Malik bin Umayr, which he narrated from Abdullah bin al-Harith, from Sayyiduna al-Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him); he said: I said: O Messenger of Allah, indeed Abu Talib used to protect you, defend you and become angry for your sake; so have you benefited him? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I found him in the depths of the Fire, so I brought him out to a shallow part of the Fire." And (upon) the hadith of Yazid bin al-Had, narrated through Abdullah bin Khabbab from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him), that he heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), when his uncle Abu Talib was mentioned in his presence, say: "Perhaps my intercession will benefit him on the Day of Resurrection, so that he will be placed in a shallow part of Hell which will reach his ankles, and from its heat his brain will be boiling."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him); he said: I said: O Messenger of Allah, will we see our Lord on the Day of Resurrection? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do you have any difficulty in seeing the sun at midday in a clear sky when there are no clouds?" We said: No, O Messenger of Allah. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then do you have any difficulty in seeing the moon on the night of the full moon in a clear sky when there are no clouds?" We said: No. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You will have no difficulty in seeing Him on the Day of Resurrection except as much as you have in seeing either of these two. When the Day of Resurrection comes, a caller will call out: Listen! Let every nation join what it used to worship. Then no one who used to worship an idol, a statue or an image will remain, but they will all go until they fall into Hell. And only those who used to worship Allah alone will remain, whether righteous or wicked, and some remnants of the People of the Book. Then Hell will be presented to them as if it were a mirage, one part of it smashing another. Then the Jews will be called, and He (Allah) will say: 'What did you used to worship?' They will say: 'Uzayr, who is the son of Allah.' He will say: 'You have lied; Allah has taken neither a wife nor a son. Now what do you want?' They will say: 'O our Lord, we are thirsty.' He will say: 'Will you not go to drink?' So they will go until they fall into Hell. Then the Christians will be called, and He will say: 'What did you used to worship?' They will say: 'The Messiah, who is the son of Allah.' He will say: 'You have lied; Allah has taken neither a wife nor a son. Now what do you want?' They will say: 'O our Lord, we are thirsty; give us water to drink.' He will say: 'Will you not go to drink?' So they will go until they fall into Hell. Then only those who used to worship Allah alone will remain, whether righteous or wicked. Then Allah Almighty will manifest Himself to us in a form other than the form in which we saw Him the first time. He will say: 'O people, every nation has joined what it used to worship, and only you remain.' On that day no one will speak to Him except the prophets. They will say: 'We separated from people in the world, though we were more in need of their company; every nation has joined what it used to worship, and we are waiting for our Lord whom we used to worship.' He will say: 'I am your Lord.' They will say: 'We seek refuge in Allah from you.' He will say: 'Is there any sign between you and Allah by which you would recognise Him?' They will say: 'Yes.' Then the Shin will be uncovered, and we will all fall down in prostration. And no one who used to prostrate in the world for fame, for show or out of hypocrisy will remain except that his back will become like a single plank; whenever he wants to prostrate, he will fall over on the back of his neck." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then our righteous and our wicked will all raise their heads, and He (Allah) will return to us in the form in which we saw Him the first time. He will say: I am your Lord. They will say three times: Yes, You are our Lord. Then the bridge will be laid over Hell." We said: O Messenger of Allah, may our fathers and mothers be sacrificed for you, what is that bridge like? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is a place of slipping and stumbling, with hooks and grapnels on it, and curved thorns like the thorns of Najd called sa'dan. The believer will pass over it like the blink of an eye, like the flutter of an eyelid, like the wind, like birds, and like fine horses and mounts. So some will be saved safe and sound, some will be let go after being scratched, and some will fall headlong into the fire of Hell. By the One in whose Hand is my soul, none of you pleads more insistently for a right of his than the believers will intercede with Allah for their brothers when they see that they themselves have been saved from the Fire. They will say: O our Lord, our brothers used to pray with us, fast with us, perform Hajj with us and do jihad with us; the Fire has seized them. Allah Almighty will say: Go, and whoever's face you recognise, bring him out. And their faces will be made forbidden to the Fire. So one will find that the Fire has seized one man up to his feet, another up to the middle of his shin, another up to his knees, and another up to his waist. They will bring many people out of it. Then they will petition again, and He will keep telling them until He says: Go, and whoever you find in whose heart there is even an atom's weight of faith, bring him out." Whenever Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated this hadith, he would say: If you do not believe, then recite this verse: "Indeed, Allah does not do injustice, even as much as an atom's weight; and if there is a good deed, He multiplies it and gives from Himself a great reward" [Surah al-Nisa': 40] . (He (peace and blessings be upon him) said:) "Then they will say: O our Lord, we have not left any good (person of faith) in it. He will say: Who now remains except the Most Merciful of those who show mercy? The angels have interceded, the prophets have interceded; so who now remains except the Most Merciful of those who show mercy?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then He will take a handful from the Fire and bring out a people who will have been burnt to charcoal, who never did any good deed for Him. Then they will be thrown into a river called the River of Life, and they will sprout in it - by the One in whose Hand is my soul - just as a seed sprouts in the debris carried by a flood. Have you not seen that the part of it facing the shade is yellow and the part facing the sun is green?" The narrator said: We said: O Messenger of Allah, it is as if you have lived among livestock?! He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "They will sprout like that, then they will come out like pearls. Seals will be placed on their necks, then they will be sent into Paradise. The people of Paradise will say: These are the Jahannamiyyun (those freed from Hell); these are the ones whom Allah brought out of the Fire without any deed they had done or any good they had sent forth. Allah Almighty will say: Take, and whatever you take is yours. So they will keep taking until (their desires) come to an end. Then they will say: Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, will never give us (more) than what we have taken. Allah Almighty will say: Indeed, I have given you something better than what you have taken. They will say: O our Lord, what is better than this and than what we have taken? He will say: My good pleasure, after which there is no displeasure." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it with this wording! Both of them agreed only upon the hadith of al-Zuhri, narrated from Sa'id bin al-Musayyib and Ata' bin Yazid al-Laythi from Abu Hurayrah in abridged form, and Imam Muslim alone recorded the hadith of Abd al-Razzaq, from Ma'mar, from Zayd bin Aslam, from Ata' bin Yasar, from Abu Sa'id, with less than half of this wording.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "People will be gathered at the bridge of Hell, on which there will be thorns and hooks, and people will pass over it. Some of them will pass like lightning, some like a trained swift horse, some running, some walking, and some crawling. And the angels will be standing on both sides of the bridge, supplicating: 'Allahumma sallim sallim' (O Allah, keep safe, keep safe). And the hooks will snatch them." (The narrator said that he (peace and blessings be upon him) further said:) "As for the true people of Hell who are its inhabitants, they will neither die in it nor live (but will remain in constant torment). But there will be some people who will be seized for their sins and faults and will be burnt to charcoal. Then they will be brought in bundles and thrown onto a river of Paradise, and they will sprout fresh just as a seed sprouts in the debris carried by a flood." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Have you seen the yellow plant? Then after that they will be given permission, and they will enter Paradise." Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Each one of them will be given the equal of the world. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) further said: "And on the Sirat there will be three trees. The last person to come out of Hell will be at its edge, and he will say: O my Lord, bring me near to this tree so that I may be in its shade and eat of its fruit. Allah Almighty will say: Is it your covenant and pledge that you will not ask Me for anything other than this? So he will be moved to it. Then he will see another tree better than it, and he will say the same. Allah Almighty will say: Is it your covenant and pledge that you will not ask Me for anything other than this? He will say: It is my covenant and pledge that I will not ask for anything else. So he will be moved to it. Then he will see another tree even better than that, and he will say: O my Lord, (bring me near to it so that) I may eat of its fruit and be in its shade. So he will be moved to it. Then he will hear the voices of the people and see their dwellings, and he will say: O my Lord, admit me into Paradise." Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Then after that the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) discussed it among themselves; one of them said: "He will be given the equal of the world and as much again with it." And another said: "The equal of the world and ten times as much." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him); he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "The Sirat will be placed over the back of Hell, with thorns on it like the thorns of the sa'dan (a thorny plant). Then people will pass over it: some will be saved safe and sound, some will be saved after being wounded, and some will fall headlong into it and be held captive. Then when Allah Almighty has finished the judgements between the servants, the believers will look for people who in the world used to pray, give zakah, fast, perform Hajj and do jihad as they did. They will say: O our Lord, some of Your servants who were with us in the world, who prayed as we prayed, gave zakah as we gave, fasted as we fasted, performed Hajj and did jihad, we do not see them! Allah Almighty will say: Go, go to Hell, and whoever of them you find in it, bring him out. So they will find them in a state where the Fire has seized them according to their deeds. Of them the Fire will have seized one up to his feet, another up to his knees, another up to his waist, another up to his chest and another up to his neck, but it will not have covered the faces. They will bring them out, and they will be thrown into the Water of Life (Ma' al-Hayat)." It was asked: O Prophet of Allah, what is the Water of Life? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The bathing water of the people of Paradise. They will sprout fresh in it just as a plant sprouts in the debris carried by a flood. Then the prophets will intercede for everyone who used to bear witness with sincerity to 'La ilaha illallah' (There is no true god except Allah), and they will bring them out of it. Then Allah Almighty will show tender compassion with His mercy to those in Hell, and He will not leave in it any servant in whose heart there is even an atom's weight of faith, but will bring him out of it." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Salman al-Farisi (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "On the Day of Resurrection the Scale (Mizan) will be set up. If the heavens and the earth were placed in it, it would have room for them. The angels will say: O our Lord, whose deeds will this weigh? Allah Almighty will say: Whomever I will of My creation. At this the angels will say: Glory be to You, we have not worshipped You as You deserve to be worshipped. And the Sirat will be set up like the edge of a razor (fine and sharp). The angels will say: Whom will You save from over this? Allah Almighty will say: Whomever I will of My creation. At this they will say: Glory be to You, we have not worshipped You as You deserve to be worshipped." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Samurah bin Jundub (may Allah be pleased with him); he said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Among the people of Hell are some whom the Fire will seize up to their ankles, among them are some whom the Fire will seize up to the knees, some whom the Fire will seize up to the waist (where the waist-wrapper is tied), and some whom the Fire will seize up to the collarbones (the upper part of the chest)." The chain of this hadith is sahih (authentic), but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it!

It is narrated from al-Suddi; he said: I asked Murrah about this saying of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic: "And there is none of you except he will come to it (Hell)" [Surah Maryam: 71] , and he told me that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated to them that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "People will come to Hell (that is, pass over the Sirat), then they will depart (cross) from it according to their deeds. The first of them will pass like a flash of lightning, then like the wind, then like a swift horse, then like a rider on his camel saddle, then like a man running, and then like his walking." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it. And Shu'bah has also narrated it from Isma'il al-Suddi:

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) concerning the saying of Allah Almighty: "And there is none of you except he will come to it"; he said: "People will come to it, then they will cross from it according to their deeds."
