I found it to be full.’ Then He % will say, ‘Go and enter Paradise, for you is what is equal to the world, and ten times mote,’ or, ‘For you is what is equivalent to ten times more than the world.’ He will say, “You are making fun of me,’ or, ‘You are laughing at me, and you are the King?’” ‘Abdullah # said, “I saw the Messenger of Allah x laugh until his molars appeared.” And it would be said that that is the lowest of the people of Paradise in terms of ranking.”

Ton ‘Umar reported that the Messenger of Allah #g said, “Indeed the last one to enter Paradise is a man from Juhainah, who (himself) is called Juhainah. The people of Paradise will say, ‘With Juhainah is the news of certainty. Ask him - is there any created being that remains?” (Related by Ad-Daaraqutnee through Maalik) This hadith cannot correctly be ascribed to Imam Maalik, because those who relate from him here are unknown. Had it really been from him, it would have been in the famous books that are related from him, such as Al-Muwatah and others, which the trustworthy ones related from him. What is strange is that Abu ‘Abdullah AlQurtubee mentioned it in At-Tadhkirah and then evinced certainty about it. Then he related from Ibn ‘Umar that the Messenger of Allah #% said, “The last to enter Paradise is a man from Juhainah, who (himself) is called Juhainah. Then the people of Paradise wilt say, ‘With Juhainah is sure news.”’ As-Suhailee mentioned it as well and did not rule it to be weak. But another saying is related fromvAsSuhail: that his name is Hinaad. And Allah knows best.

Abu Dharr reported that the Messenger of Allah i said, “Verily, I know the last of the dwellers of Paradise to enter Paradise, and the last of the dwellers of Hell to come out from it. A man will be brought on the Day of Resurrection, and it will be said to him, ‘On such and such day you did such and such deed? And on such and such day you did such and such deed?’ He will say, ‘Yes,’ not being able to deny it. And he is afraid that his major sins will be presented

Anas ibn Maalik reported that the Prophet st said, “Verily, 2 slave in Hell will call out for 1000 years: ‘O Merciful One and O Giver of all good!’ Then Allah will say to Jibreel, ‘Go ana cvi1g Me this slave.’ Then Jibreel will go, and he will find the dwellers of Hell to be most occupied in crying. He will return to His Lord and inform

Abu Hurairah related that the Messenger of Allah 2% said, “The screaming of two men who enter the Hellfire will become very intense. The Lord Jalla Jalaaluhu (Glorified is He in His Majesty and Greatness) will say, ‘Take them out.’ When they are taken out, Allah 48 will say to them, ‘For what did you scream so intensely?’ They will say, We did that so that You would have mercy on us.” He ‘Azza We-Jall (To"Him belongs Might and Majesty) will say, “My Mercy for you is for you to go to it’ One of them will throw himself into it, and Allah will make it (the Hellfire) to be cool and peaceful for him. As for the other, he will not throw himself (into the Hellfire). The Lord 8 will say to him, ‘What prevented you from throwing yourself {into it) as your companion did?’ He will say, ‘My Lord, indeed I hope that You will not return me to it after You have taken me out of it’ The Lord 4 will say, ‘For you is your wish.’ Then they will both enter Paradise by the Mercy of Allah ‘Azza We-Jall (To Him belongs Might and Majesty).”’

When the people of sins come out of the Hellfire, none will remain in it except for the disbelievers. They will neither die nor live (ie. a good life) therein. Allah #& said:

They have no way to escape from it; instead, they are eternal dwellers of the Hellfire. They are the ones that the Qur’an has confined (ie, since the Quran mentions that they will spend eternity in the Hellfire, they will indeed spend eternity in the Hellfire), ruling that they will spend eternity therein:

As for these Verses, Ibn Jareel and. other Mujassiroon have discussed them in detail, mentioning narrations from the Companions that have Gharaabah in them and accounts that are strange. A full discussion of this issue is suitable for another place, and not here. And Allah 2 knows best, and He 4 is Most-Wise.
