Volume 8, Book 76, Number 584:
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet said, “Some of my companions will come to me at my Lake Fount, and after I recog –
nize them, they will then be taken away from me, whereupon I will say, ‘My companions!’ Then it
will be said, ‘You do not know what they innovated (new things) in the religion after you.”
Volume 8, Book 76, Number 575:
Narrated ‘Abdullah:
The Prophet said, “I know the person who will be the last to come out of the (Hell) Fire, and the last
to enter Paradise. He will be a man who will come out of the (Hell) Fire crawling, and Allah will say
to him, ‘Go and enter Paradise.’ He will go to it, but he will imagine that it had been filled, and then
he will return and say, ‘O Lord, I have found it full.’ Allah will say, ‘Go and enter Paradise, and you
will have what equals the world and ten times as much (or, you will have as much as ten times the
like of the world).’ On that, the man will say, ‘Do you mock at me (or laugh at me) though You are
the King?” I saw Allah’s Apostle (while saying that) smiling that his premolar teeth became visible. It
is said that will be the lowest in degree amongst the people of Paradise.
Volume 8, Book 76, Number 565:
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
Allah’s Apostle said, “When the people of Paradise have entered Paradise, and the people of the Fire
have entered the Fire, Allah will say. ‘Take out (of the Fire) whoever has got faith equal to a mustard
seed in his heart.’ They will come out, and by that time they would have burnt and became like coal,
and then they will be thrown into the river of Al-Hayyat (life) and they will spring up just as a seed
grows on the bank of a rainwater stream.” The Prophet said, “Don’t you see that the germinating seed
comes out yellow and twisted?”

SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 8 > BOOK 76: TO MAKE THE HEART TENDER (AR-RIQAQ)
I heard the Prophet saying, “The person who will have the least punishment from amongst the Hell
Fire people on the Day of Resurrection, will be a man under whose arch of the feet a smoldering em –
ber will be placed so that his brain will boil because of it.”
Volume 8, Book 76, Number 567:
Narrated An-Nu’man bin Bashir:
I heard the Prophet saying, “The least punished person of the (Hell) Fire people on the Day of Re –
surrection will be a man under whose arch of the feet two smoldering embers will be placed, be –
cause of which his brain will boil just like Al-Mirjal (copper vessel) or a Qum-qum (narrow-necked
vessel) is boiling with water.”
Volume 8, Book 76, Number 568:
Narrated ‘Adi bin Hatim:
The Prophet mentioned the Fire and turned his face aside and asked for Allah’s protection from it,
and then again he mentioned the Fire and turned his face aside and asked for Allah’s protection from
it and said, “Protect yourselves from the Hell-Fire, even if with one half of a date, and he who cannot
afford that, then (let him do so) by (saying) a good, pleasant word.”
Volume 8, Book 76, Number 569:
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
I heard Allah’s Apostles when his uncle, Abu Talib had been mentioned in his presence, saying,
“May be my intercession will help him (Abu Talib) on the Day of Resurrection so that he may be put
in a shallow place in the Fire, with fire reaching his ankles and causing his brain to boil.”
Volume 8, Book 76, Number 570:
Narrated Anas:
Allah’s Apostle said, “Allah will gather all the people on the Day of Resurrection and they will say,
‘Let us request someone to intercede for us with our Lord so that He may relieve us from this place of
ours.’ Then they will go to Adam and say, ‘You are the one whom Allah created with His Own Hands,
and breathed in you of His soul, and ordered the angels to prostrate to you; so please intercede for us
with our Lord.’ Adam will reply, ‘I am not fit for this undertaking, and will remember his sin, and
will say, ‘Go to Noah, the first Apostle sent by Allah’ They will go to him and he will say, ‘I am not fit
for this undertaking’, and will remember his sin and say, ‘Go to Abraham whom Allah took as a
Khalil. They will go to him (and request similarly). He will reply, ‘I am not fit for this undertaking,’

and will remember his sin and say, ‘Go to Moses to whom Allah spoke directly.’ They will go to Moses
and he will say, ‘I am not fit for this undertaking,’ and will remember his sin and say, ‘Go to Jesus.’
They will go to him, and he will say, ‘I am not fit for this undertaking, go to Muhammad as Allah has
forgiven his past and future sins.’ They will come to me and I will ask my Lord’s permission, and
when I see Him, I will fall down in prostration to Him, and He will leave me in that state as long as
(He) Allah will, and then I will be addressed. ‘Raise up your head (O Muhammad)! Ask, and your re –
quest will be granted, and say, and your saying will be listened to; intercede, and your intercession
will be accepted.’ Then I will raise my head, and I will glorify and praise my Lord with a saying(i.e.
invocation) He will teach me, and then I will intercede, Allah will fix a limit for me (i.e., certain type
of people for whom I may intercede), and I will take them out of the (Hell) Fire and let them enter
Paradise. Then I will come back (to Allah) and fall in prostration, and will do the same for the third
and fourth times till no-one remains in the (Hell) Fire except those whom the Qur’an has imprisoned
therein.” (The sub-narrator, Qatada used to say at that point, “…those upon whom eternity (in Hell)
has been imposed.”) (See Hadith No. 3, Vol 6).
