The Death of the People of Hell
Will anyone die in Hell? Is there any saheeh hadeeth to that effect or not?
If it is true, then what is the nature of this death,
and to whom will it happen?
It was reported in Saheeh Muslim that Aboo Sa’eed al-Khudree (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: "The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:
‘As for the people of Hell, they are its inhabitants, and they neither
live therein nor die. But there are people who will enter Hell because
of their sins – or mistakes – so Allaah will cause them to die once,
then when they become like coal, He will give permission for
intercession (for them). They will be brought group by group to the
rivers of Paradise. Then it will be said: "O people of Paradise! Pour
water on them." Then they will grow like seeds (i.e., the seeds of
herbs and aromatic plants, or it was said, small plants that grow in
between grasses, or it may mean wheat).’"The scholars said: "What is
meant by the people of Hell are its kaafir inhabitants, who will never
come out of it and never die at all. Allaah says (interpretation of the
meaning): "But those who disbelieve (in the Oneness of Allaah), for
them will be the Fire of Hell. Neither will it have a complete killing
effect on them so that they die, nor shall its torment be lightened for
them. Thus do We requite every disbeliever!" [Faatir 35:36]
As for the sinners among those who believe in the Oneness
of Allaah, those who have committed major sins (kabaa’ir), they will be
punished in accordance with the degree of their sins for a period
decreed by Allaah, then they will die a lesser death such that they no
longer feel anything, for a period decreed by Allaah. Then they will be
brought out dead, turned into coals and carried like luggage, and they
will be thrown into the rivers of Paradise and the water of life will
be poured over them.
Then they will grow, like wheat at first, but quickly, like herbs. Then
they will get stronger and be fully formed, and will be taken to their
homes in Paradise. And Allaah knows best.
