Related from him as well, he said, “Do you know what Ghassaaq is?” They said, “No.” He said, “A spring in Hell, to which flows the sting of everything that possesses a sting, in terms of a snake, a scorpion, or anything else. Then it becomes foul. A human is brought to it and is dipped one time into it. He will then come out and his skin will have fallen from the bones. His skin and flesh, will hang from his ankles, and he will drag his flesh just as a man drags his garment.”

world). Then he will carry it and place it on his shoulder, Then he will climb with it in the Fire of Hell, until he sees that he has come out, at which point he will slip and it (the trust) will fall. He will fall after it forever. The Amannah (the trust) is in the prayer; the Amaanah is in the Sawm (fasting); the Amaanah is in Al-Wudoo (ablution); and the Amaanah is in Al-hadith (speaking and perhaps this is also referring to relating hadith). And more severe than all of that is something which one was entrusted with to keep (and then to return later on to its proprietor).” Zathaan said, “I met Al-Baraa and said, ‘Do you not hear what your brother, ‘Abdullah, says?’ He said, “He has spoken the truth.” (Related by Al-Haafidh Ad-Diyaa) This hadith is related neither in Al-Musnad nor in the “Six Books.”

A Prison In Hell That Is Called Boolus ~ May Allah ‘Azza Wa-Jall (To Him Belongs Might And Majesty) Protect Us From

The Well Of Grief

Abu Hurairah # related that the Messenger of Allah #8 said, “Seek refuge with Allah from the Well of Grief.” The Companions said, “O Messenger of Allah, and what is the Well of Grief?” He sg said, “A valley in Hell, which Hell itself seeks refuge from 400 times every day. It was prepared for the reciters (of the Quran) who do their deeds for display, and the most detested of Qurraa (reciters) to Allah are those who do deeds to show them off to oppressive rulers.” (Related by ‘Alee ibn Harb) At-Tirmidhee and ibn Maajah related it from the hadith of ‘Ammaar ibn Saif from Abu Mu’aadh, and that is what is correct. At-Tirmidhee summarized it and said, “It is Ghareeb.’” And in his narration the wording is, “100 times.” Tbn Maajah mentioned a longer version, and with him also is the phrasing, “Those who do deeds to show them off to oppressive rulers.”

One Who Is Addicted To Alcohol, One Who Breaks Off Ties With Relations, And One Who Believes In Magic: None Of These Three Enters Paradise

Abu Moosa related that the Prophet # said, “Three will not enter Paradise: the one who is addicted to alcohol, the one who breaks off ties with relations, and the one who believes in magic. And whosoever dies, addicted to alcohol, Allah will make him drink from the river of Al-Ghootah.” It was said, “And what is the river of Al-Ghootah?” He #8 said, “A river which flows from the private parts of female fornicators. The people of the Hellfire are harmed by the smell of their private parts.” (Almad)

The Valley Of Lamlam

Abu Hurairah related that the Messenger of Allah ## said, “Verily, in Hell there is a valley that is called Lamlam. And indeed, the valleys of Hell seek refuge in Allah from its heat.” (Related by Al-Hasan ibn Sufyaan) This hadith is Ghareeb.

A Valley With A Well In Hell; The Valley Is Called Habhab

Muhammad ibn Waasai’ said, “I entered upon Bilal ibn Abee Burdah, and I said to him: O Bilal, indeed your father related to me from his father from the Prophet #, that he #8 said, ‘Indeed in Hell there is a valley called Habhab; it is a right upon Allah that every arrogant tyrant live in it, so beware, so-and-so, from being among, those who live in it” (Related by Abu Bakr ibn Abee Ad-Dunyaa) At-Tabaraanee related the same from Muhammad ibn Waasai’. In his narration, Muhammad ibn Waasai’ entered upon Bilal dbn Abee Burdah ibn Abee Moosa, and said to him, “Indeed your father related to me from your grandfather & that the Messenger of Allah #8 said, ‘Indeed in Hell there is a valley in which there is a well. It is called Habhab. It is a right upon Allah that every arrogant tyrant

live in it.” In this narration, Azhar ibn Sinaan was the sole narrator at his level of the chain, and some of the Huffaaz have spoken about him, mentioning him to be soft (ie. not strong in his narrations).

The Mention Of Wail And Sa’ood

The Meaning Of Al-Wail Allah 8 said:

Be oe Boe SU 3S BY

“Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)" And Allah $% said:

“! will oblige him to (climb a slippery mountain in the Hellfire

called As-Sa’ood, or to) face a severe torment’ 3 Abu Sa’eed s related that the Messenger of Allah #% said, “Wail is a valley in Hell, the disbelievers fall into it for 40 autumns before they reach its floor. And As-Sa’ood is a mountain in the Hellfire. The (disbeliever) will climb it for 70 autumns and will then fall in it for the same tirne — he is in it forever.” (Ahmad) At-Tirmidhee related it as well, but through a different chain, He then said, “Ghareeb, for we do not know it except by way of Ibn Luhai‘ah.”” But Tbn Jareer did relate it without going through Ibn Luhai/ah. At any rate, the hadith is Ghareeb; rather, it is Munkar. What appears stronger in the Tafseer of “Wail” is that it is the opposite of safety, healthiness, and deliverance.

The Meaning Of Sa’ood

Abu Sa’eed # related that, regarding the Verse which mentions AsSa’ood (Quran 74:17), the Messenger of Allah 2 said, “Tt is a mountain in Hell. The disbeliever is charged with climbing it. When he places his hand on it, his hand melts. When he raises it, it returns.

550 Book of The End: Great Trials and Tribulations

And when he places his leg on it, his leg melts; and when he raises it, it returns.” Al-Bazzaar, ibn Jareer, ibn Abee Haatim, and ibn Mirdawai all related it.

Qataadah related that ibn ‘Abbaas said, “Sa’eod is a rock in Hell. Upon it the disbeliever is dragged on his face.” As-Siddee said, “Sa‘ood is a smooth rock in Hell, and the disbeliever is charged with climbing it” Regarding the above-mentioned Verse (ie. Quran 74:17), Mujaahid said, “This means a difficult punishment.” And Qataadah said, “A punishment from which there is no rest.” ibn Jareer chose this last opinion.
