It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Saeed (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Those who are destined for Hell will remain in it forever; neither will death come to them nor will they be granted life. However, those upon whom Allah intends to show mercy, He will cause them to die in Hell. Then the intercessors will intercede for them, and they will come out of it in groups. They will bathe in a special river—whose name will be the River of Life, or Hayat, or Hayawan, or the River of Paradise—and they will grow forth just as a seed grows in the flow of a flood.
