Al-Hijr Ayah 43-44

قوله تعالى: وَ إِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ لَمَوْعِدُهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ لَهَا سَبْعَةُ أَبْوَابٍ لِكُلِّ بَابٍ مِنْهُمْ جُزْءٌ مَقْسُومٌ [43-44]

[Quran 15:43-44] And most surely Hell is the promised place of them all. It has seven gates; for every gate there shall be a separate party of them.

99-/5880 _1- ابْنُ بَابَوَيْهِ،قَالَ:حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْقَطَّانُ،قَالَ:حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ زَكَرِيَّا الْقَطَّانُ، قَالَ:حَدَّثَنَا بَكْرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ حَبِيبٍ،قَالَ:حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ،قَالَ:حَدَّثَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحَكَمِ،عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ،عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْفُضَيْلِ الزُّرَقِيِّ،عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ،عَنْ أَبِيهِ،عَنْ جَدِّهِ(عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلاَمُ)قَالَ: «لِلنَّارِ سَبْعَةُ أَبْوَابٍ:بَابٌ يَدْخُلُ مِنْهُ فِرْعَوْنُ وَ هَامَانُ وَ قَارُونُ،وَ بَابٌ يَدْخُلُ مِنْهُ الْمُشْرِكُونَ وَ الْكُفَّارُ مِمَّنْ لَمْ يُؤْمِنْ بِاللَّهِ طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ،وَ بَابٌ يَدْخُلُ مِنْهُ بَنُو أُمَيَّةَ،هُوَ لَهُمْ خَاصَّةً لاَ يُزَاحِمُهُمْ فِيهِ أَحَدٌ،وَ هُوَ بَابُ لَظَى،وَ هُوَ بَابُ سَقَرَ،وَ هُوَ بَابُ الْهَاوِيَةِ،تَهْوِي بِهِمْ سَبْعِينَ خَرِيفاً،فَكُلَّمَا فَارَتْ بِهِمْ فَوْرَةً،قَذَفَ بِهِمْ فِي أَعْلاَهَا سَبْعِينَ خَرِيفاً [1]،فَلاَ يَزَالُونَ هَكَذَا أَبَداً خَالِدِينَ مُخَلَّدِينَ،وَ بَابٌ يَدْخُلُ مِنْهُ مُبْغِضُونَا وَ مُحَارِبُونَا وَ خَاذِلُونَا،وَ إِنَّهُ لَأَعْظَمُ الْأَبْوَابِ وَ أَشَدُّهَا حَرّاً».

99-/5880 _1- Ibn Bābawayh said: Ahmad b. al-Hasan al-Qattān narrated to us, who said: Ahmad b. Yahyā b. Zakarīyā al-Qattān narrated to us, who said: Bakr b. Abd Allāh b. Habīb narrated to us, who said: Muhammad b. Abd Allāh narrated to me, who said: Ali b. al-Hakam narrated to me, from Abān b. Uthmān, from Muhammad b. al-Fudayl al-Zuraqī, from Abū Abd Allāh, from his father, from his grandfather (peace be upon them), who said: “Hell has seven gates: A gate through which Pharaoh, Hāmān, and Qārūn enter; a gate through which the polytheists and unbelievers enter—those who never believed in Allah for the blink of an eye; a gate through which the Banū Umayya enter—this is exclusively for them, none shares it with them; and it is the gate of Lazā, it is the gate of Saqar, it is the gate of the Hāwiya—it drops them down for seventy autumns; and whenever it boils up against them in a surge, it hurls them to its top for seventy autumns [1]; thus they remain so forever, abiding eternally. And a gate through which those who hate us, fight us, and abandon us enter—and indeed it is the greatest of the gates and the most intensely hot.”

قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْفُضَيْلِ الزُّرَقِيُّ:فَقُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ):اَلْبَابُ الَّذِي ذَكَرْتَهُ-عَنْ أَبِيكَ عَنْ جَدِّكَ(عَلَيْهِمَا السَّلاَمُ)-أَنَّهُ يَدْخُلُ مِنْهُ بَنُو أُمَيَّةَ،يَدْخُلُ مِنْهُ مَنْ مَاتَ مِنْهُمْ عَلَى الشِّرْكِ،أَوْ مَنْ أَدْرَكَ مِنْهُمُ الْإِسْلاَمَ؟فَقَالَ: «لاَ أُمَّ لَكَ،أَ لَمْ تَسْمَعْهُ يَقُولُ:وَ بَابٌ يَدْخُلُ مِنْهُ الْمُشْرِكُونَ وَ الْكُفَّارُ،فَهَذَا الْبَابُ يَدْخُلُ مِنْهُ كُلُّ مُشْرِكٍ وَ كُلُّ كَافِرٍ لاَ يُؤْمِنُ بِيَوْمِ الْحِسَابِ،وَ هَذَا الْبَابُ الْآخَرُ يَدْخُلُ مِنْهُ بَنُو أُمَيَّةَ لِأَنَّهُ هُوَ لِأَبِي سُفْيَانَ وَ مُعَاوِيَةَ وَ آلِ مَرْوَانَ خَاصَّةً، يَدْخُلُونَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الْبَابِ،فَتَحْطِبُهُمُ النَّارُ حَطَباً [2]،لاَ تُسْمَعُ لَهُمْ فِيهَا وَاعِيَةٌ،وَ لاَ يَحْيَوْنَ فِيهَا وَ لاَ يَمُوتُونَ».

Muhammad b. al-Fudayl al-Zuraqī said: I said to Abū Abd Allāh (peace be upon him): “The gate you mentioned—from your father from your grandfather (peace be upon them)—that the Banū Umayya enter through it: is it for those of them who died upon polytheism, or for those of them who encountered Islam?” He said: “May you be bereft of your mother! Have you not heard him say: ‘And a gate through which the polytheists and unbelievers enter’? So that gate is for every polytheist and every unbeliever who does not believe in the Day of Reckoning. And the other gate is the one through which the Banū Umayya enter, for it is exclusively for Abū Sufyān, Mu‘āwiya, and the family of Marwān. They enter through that gate; the Fire will smash them like firewood [2]. No outcry will be heard for them in it; they will neither live therein nor die.”

99-/5881 _2- And from him: Ahmad b. al-Hasan al-Qattān narrated to us... from Ali (peace be upon him), who said: “Indeed Paradise has eight gates: A gate through which the prophets and the truthful (ṣiddīqūn) enter; a gate through which the martyrs and the righteous enter; and five gates through which our Shī‘a and our lovers enter. I shall not cease standing upon the Ṣirāṭ, supplicating and saying: ‘My Lord, grant safety to my Shī‘a, my lovers, my helpers, and whoever showed me loyalty in the abode of this world.’ Then a call from within the Throne: ‘I have answered your supplication, and granted you intercession regarding your Shī‘a.’ And every man from my Shī‘a, and whoever showed me loyalty, supported me, and fought those who fought me—by deed or by word—will intercede for seventy thousand among his neighbors and relatives. And a gate through which the rest of the Muslims enter—those who bear witness that there is no god but Allah—and in whose hearts there is not the weight [1] of an atom of hatred for us, the People of the House.”

99-/5882 _3- Al-‘Ayyāshī: From Abū Baṣīr, from Ja‘far b.

Hawser; and the seventh for Abū Salāmah. They are gates for those who followed them.”

99-/5886 _7- Then he said: In the narration of Abū al-Jārūd, from Abū Ja‘far (peace be upon him), regarding His saying: ‘And most surely Hell is the promised place of them all’—“this is their standing upon the Ṣirāṭ.” As for: ‘It has seven gates; for every gate there shall be a separate party of them,’ it has reached me—Allah knows best—that Allah made it seven levels: the highest of them is al-Jaḥīm—its people stand upon rough rock therein; their brains boil in it like the boiling of pots with what is in them. The second is Lazā: ‘Plucking out the extremities, it shall call him who turned his back and went away and amasses (wealth) then shuts it up’ [3]. The third is Saqar: ‘It leaves naught, nor does it spare aught; it scorches the mortal; over it are nineteen’ [4]. The fourth is al-Ḥuṭamah: ‘It sends forth sparks as huge as castles, as if they were yellow camels’ [5]; it leaves everyone who reaches it like antimony-powder—yet the spirit does not die; whenever they become like antimony they are returned [to punishment].

[3] المعارج 70:16-18.

[3] al-Ma‘ārij 70:16-18. [M. H. Shakir] Plucking out the extremities, it shall call him who turned his back and went away, and amasses (wealth) then shuts it up.

[4] المدّثّر 74:28-30.

[4] al-Muddaththir 74:28-30. [M. H. Shakir] It leaves naught, nor does it spare aught. It scorches the mortal. Over it are nineteen.

[5] المرسلات 77:32 و 33.

[5] al-Mursalāt 77:32-33. [M. H. Shakir] It sends forth sparks as huge as castles, as if they were yellow camels.

وَ الْخَامِسَةُ:اَلْهَاوِيَةُ،فِيهَا مَالِكٌ،وَ يَدْعُونَ:يَا مَالِكُ،أَغِثْنَا؛فَإِذَا أَغَاثَهُمْ جَعَلَ لَهُمْ آنِيَةً مِنْ صُفْرٍ مِنْ نَارٍ،فِيهَا صَدِيدٌ:مَاءٌ يَسِيلُ مِنْ جُلُودِهِمْ-كَأَنَّهُ مُهْلٌ،فَإِذَا رَفَعُوهُ لِيَشْرَبُوا مِنْهُ،تَسَاقَطَ لَحْمُ وُجُوهِهِمْ فِيهَا مِنْ شِدَّةِ حَرِّهَا، وَ هُوَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ: وَ إِنْ يَسْتَغِيثُوا يُغاثُوا بِمَاءٍ كَالْمُهْلِ يَشْوِي الْوُجُوهَ بِئْسَ الشَّرابُ وَ ساءَتْ مُرْتَفَقاً [3]وَ مَنْ هَوَى فِيهَا هَوَى سَبْعِينَ عَاماً فِي النَّارِ،كُلَّمَا احْتَرَقَ جِلْدُهُ،بُدِّلَ جِلْداً غَيْرَهُ.

And the fifth is al-Hāwiya; in it is Mālik, and they call out: “O Mālik, help us!” When he helps them, he makes for them vessels of brass from fire in which is pus—fluid that flows from their skins—as if it were molten metal; when they lift it to drink from it, the flesh of their faces falls into it from the intensity of its heat. And this is Allah’s saying: ‘And if they ask for succor they shall be succored with water like molten brass, which will scald their faces; evil the drink and ill the resting-place’ [Quran 18:29, M. H. Shakir]. Whoever falls into it falls for seventy years in the Fire; whenever his skin is burned, a different skin is replaced upon him.

وَ السَّادِسَةُ:اَلسَّعِيرُ،فِيهَا ثَلاَثُمِائَةِ سُرَادِقٍ مِنْ نَارٍ،فِي كُلِّ سُرَادِقٍ ثَلاَثُمِائَةِ قَصْرٍ،ثَلاَثُمِائَةِ بَيْتٍ مِنْ نَارٍ،فِي كُلِّ بَيْتٍ ثَلاَثُمِائَةِ لَوْنٍ مِنْ عَذَابِ النَّارِ،فِيهَا حَيَّاتٌ مِنْ نَارٍ،وَ جَوَامِعُ مِنْ نَارٍ،وَ عَقَارِبُ مِنْ نَارٍ،وَ سَلاَسِلُ مِنْ نَارٍ،وَ أَغْلاَلٌ مِنْ نَارٍ،وَ هُوَ الَّذِي يَقُولُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى: إِنَّا أَعْتَدْنَا لِلْكَافِرِينَ سَلاسِلَ وَ أَغْلالاً وَ سَعِيراً [4].

And the sixth is al-Sa‘īr: in it are three hundred pavilions of fire; in every pavilion, three hundred palaces; [and] three hundred houses of fire; in every house are three hundred types of the torment of the Fire—there are snakes of fire, fetters of fire, scorpions of fire, chains of fire, and shackles of fire. And it is that of which Allah the Exalted says: ‘Surely We have prepared for the unbelievers chains and fetters and a burning fire’ [Quran 76:4, M. H. Shakir].

وَ السَّابِعَةُ:جَهَنَّمُ،وَ فِيهَا الْفَلَقُ،وَ هُوَ جُبٌّ فِي جَهَنَّمَ،إِذَا فُتِحَ أَسْعَرَ النَّارَ سِعْراً،وَ هُوَ أَشَدُّ النَّارِ عَذَاباً؛وَ أَمَّا صَعُودُ،فَجَبَلٌ مِنْ صُفْرٍ مِنْ نَارٍ وَسَطَ جَهَنَّمَ؛وَ أَمَّا أَثَامٌ،فَهُوَ وَادٍ مِنْ صُفْرٍ مُذَابٍ،يَجْرِي حَوْلَ الْجَبَلِ،فَهُوَ أَشَدُّ النَّارِ عَذَاباً.

And the seventh is Jahannam; in it is al-Falaq—a pit in Hell—when it is opened, it stokes the Fire to blaze, and it is the most severe of the Fire’s torment. As for Ṣa‘ūd, it is a mountain of molten brass in the midst of Hell; and as for Athām, it is a valley of melted brass running around the mountain—both are among the most severe of the Fire’s torment.

99-/5887 _8- ابْنُ طَاوُسٍ فِي(الدُّرُوعِ الْوَاقِيَةِ)،قَالَ:فِي كِتَابِ(زُهْدِ النَّبِيِّ(صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ))لِأَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ الْقُمِّيِّ،قَالَ: إِنَّهُ لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ(صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ) وَ إِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ لَمَوْعِدُهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ لَهَا سَبْعَةُ أَبْوَابٍ لِكُلِّ بَابٍ مِنْهُمْ جُزْءٌ مَقْسُومٌ بَكَى النَّبِيِّ(صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ)بُكَاءً شَدِيداً،وَ بَكَى أَصْحَابُهُ لِبُكَائِهِ،فَلَمْ يَدْرُوا مَا نَزَلَ بِهِ جَبْرَئِيلُ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)،وَ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ أَنْ يُكَلِّمَهُ.وَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ(صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ)إِذَا رَأَى فَاطِمَةَ(عَلَيْهَا السَّلاَمُ) فَرِحَ بِهَا،فَانْطَلَقَ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِهِ إِلَى بَابِ بَيْتِهَا،فَوَجَدَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهَا شَعِيراً وَ هِيَ تَطْحَنُ فِيهِ،وَ تَقُولُ: وَ مَا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ خَيْرٌ وَ أَبْقَى [5]فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهَا،وَ أَخْبَرَهَا بِخَبَرِ النَّبِيِّ(صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ)وَ بُكَائِهِ،فَنَهَضَتْ وَ الْتَفَّتْ بِشَمْلَةٍ لَهَا خَلَقٍ،قَدْ خِيطَتْ فِي اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ مَكَاناً بِسَعَفِ النَّخْلِ.فَلَمَّا خَرَجَتْ نَظَرَ سَلْمَانُ الْفَارِسِيُّ إِلَى الشَّمْلَةِ وَ بَكَى،وَ قَالَ:وَا حُزْنَاهْ، إِنَّ قَيْصَرَ وَ كِسْرَى فِي الْحَرِيرِ وَ السُّنْدُسِ،وَ ابْنَةَ مُحَمَّدٍ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ(صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ)عَلَيْهَا شَمْلَةُ صُوفٍ خَلَقٌ قَدْ خِيطَتْ فِي اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ مَكَاناً! فَلَمَّا دَخَلَتْ فَاطِمَةُ(عَلَيْهَا السَّلاَمُ)عَلَى النَّبِيِّ(صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ)،قَالَتْ:«يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ،إِنَّ سَلْمَانَ تَعَجَّبَ مِنْ لِبَاسِي، فَوَ الَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ نَبِيّاً،مَا لِي وَ لِعَلِيٍّ مُنْذُ خَمْسِ سِنِينَ إِلاَّ مَسْكُ كَبْشٍ نَعْلِفُ عَلَيْهِ بِالنَّهَارِ بَعِيرَنَا،فَإِذَا كَانَ اللَّيْلُ افْتَرَشْنَاهُ،وَ إِنَّ مِرْفَقَتَنَا لَمِنْ أَدَمٍ حَشْوُهَا لِيفٌ».فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ(صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ):«يَا سَلْمَانُ،إِنَّ ابْنَتِي لَفِي الْخَيْلِ السُّبَّقِ». ثُمَّ قَالَتْ:«يَا أَبَتِ-فَدَتْكَ نَفْسِي-مَا الَّذِي أَبْكَاكَ؟».فَذَكَرَ لَهَا مَا نَزَلَ بِهِ جَبْرَئِيلُ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)مِنَ الْآيَتَيْنِ الْمُتَقَدِّمَتَيْنِ.قَالَ:فَسَقَطَتْ فَاطِمَةُ(عَلَيْهَا السَّلاَمُ)عَلَى وَجْهِهَا،وَ هِيَ تَقُولُ:«الْوَيْلُ ثُمَّ الْوَيْلُ لِمَنْ دَخَلَ النَّارَ».فَسَمِعَ سَلْمَانُ،فَقَالَ:يَا لَيْتَنِي كُنْتُ كَبْشاً لِأَهْلِي،فَأَكَلُوا لَحْمِي وَ مَزَّقُوا جِلْدِي،وَ لَمْ أَسْمَعْ بِذِكْرِ النَّارِ. وَ قَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ:يَا لَيْتَ أُمِّي كَانَتْ عَاقِراً وَ لَمْ تَلِدْنِي،وَ لَمْ أَسْمَعْ بِذِكْرِ النَّارِ،وَ قَالَ عَمَّارٌ:يَا لَيْتَنِي كُنْتُ طَائِراً أَطِيرُ فِي الْقِفَارِ،وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ عَلَيَّ حِسَابٌ وَ لاَ عِقَابٌ،وَ لَمْ أَسْمَعْ بِذِكْرِ النَّارِ. وَ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ):«يَا لَيْتَ السِّبَاعُ مَزَّقَتْ لَحْمِي،وَ لَيْتَ أُمِّي لَمْ تَلِدْنِي،وَ لَمْ أَسْمَعْ بِذِكْرِ النَّارِ»ثُمَّ وَضَعَ عَلِيٌّ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)يَدَهُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ وَ جَعَلَ يَبْكِي،وَ يَقُولُ:وَا بُعْدَ سَفَرَاهْ،وَا قِلَّةَ زَادَاهْ،فِي سَفَرِ الْقِيَامَةِ يَذْهَبُونَ،وَ فِي النَّارِ يَتَرَدَّدُونَ،وَ بِكَلاَلِيبِ النَّارِ يَتَخَطَّفُونَ،مَرْضَى لاَ يُعَادُ سَقِيمُهُمْ،وَ جَرْحَى لاَ يُدَاوَى جَرِيحُهُمْ،وَ أَسْرَى لاَ يُفَكُّ أَسِيرُهُمْ .مِنَ النَّارِ يَأْكُلُونَ،وَ مِنْهَا يَشْرَبُونَ،وَ بَيْنَ أَطْبَاقِهَا يَتَقَلَّبُونَ،وَ بَعْدَ لُبْسِ الْقُطْنِ وَ الْكَتَّانِ مُقَطَّعَاتِ النِّيرَانِ يَلْبَسُونَ،وَ بَعْدَ مُعَانَقَةِ الْأَزْوَاجِ مَعَ الشَّيَاطِينِ مُقَرَّنُونَ».

99-/5887 _8- Ibn Ṭāwūs in (al-Dirū‘ al-Wāqiyah) said: In the book (Zuhd al-Nabī (ṣallā Allāhu ‘alayhi wa-ālihi)) by Abū Muhammad Ja‘far b. Ahmad al-Qummī: When this verse was revealed to the Prophet (ṣallā Allāhu ‘alayhi wa-ālihi): ‘And most surely Hell is the promised place of them all. It has seven gates; for every gate there shall be a separate party of them,’ the Prophet wept intensely, and his companions wept due to his weeping; they did not know what Gabriel (peace be upon him) had brought down to him, and none of his companions was able to speak to him. The Prophet (ṣallā Allāhu ‘alayhi wa-ālihi) would rejoice when he saw Fāṭimah (peace be upon her). So some of his companions went to the door of her house and found barley before her while she was grinding it, saying: ‘And what is with Allah is better and more lasting’ [Quran 28:60, M. H. Shakir]. He greeted her and informed her of the Prophet’s news and his weeping. She arose, wrapped herself in a worn woolen cloak, stitched in twelve places with palm-fiber. When she went out, Salmān al-Fārisī looked at the cloak and wept, saying: “Alas for sorrow! Caesar and Chosroes are in silk and fine brocade, while the daughter of Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah (ṣallā Allāhu ‘alayhi wa-ālihi), wears a worn woolen cloak stitched in twelve places!” When Fāṭimah (peace be upon her) entered upon the Prophet (ṣallā Allāhu ‘alayhi wa-ālihi), she said: “O Messenger of Allah, Salmān marveled at my clothing. By Him Who sent you with the truth as a prophet, for five years I and Ali have had nothing except a ram’s hide—we feed our camel on it by day, and when night falls we spread it out to sleep on; and our cushion is of leather stuffed with palm-fiber.” The Prophet (ṣallā Allāhu ‘alayhi wa-ālihi) said: “O Salmān, my daughter is among the foremost racers.” Then she said: “O Father—may my soul be your ransom—what is it that made you weep?” He mentioned to her what Gabriel (peace be upon him) had brought him of the two preceding verses. Fāṭimah (peace be upon her) fell on her face, saying: “Woe, then woe, to whoever enters the Fire.” Salmān heard and said: “I wish I were a ram for my family—they would eat my flesh and tear my skin—and I would never have heard mention of the Fire.” Abū Dharr said: “I wish my mother had been barren and had not borne me, and I had never heard mention of the Fire.” ‘Ammār said: “I wish I were a bird flying in the deserts, with no reckoning nor punishment upon me, and I had never heard mention of the Fire.” And Ali (peace be upon him) said: “I wish the beasts had torn my flesh; I wish my mother had not borne me, and I had never heard mention of the Fire.” Then Ali (peace be upon him) placed his hand upon his head and wept, saying: “Alas for the length of the journey! Alas for the scarcity of provision! They go forth on the journey of the Resurrection; they wander in the Fire; the hooks of the Fire snatch them; the sick among them are not visited; the wounded among them are not treated; the captives among them are not freed. From the Fire they eat; from it they drink; among its layers they turn; after wearing cotton and linen, they wear the cut-up garments of the Fires; after embracing their spouses, they are chained together with the devils.”

قوله تعالى: وَ نَزَعْنَا مَا فِي صُدُورِهِمْ مِنْ غِلٍّ إِخْوَانًا عَلَى سُرُرٍ مُتَقَابِلِينَ [47]

[Quran 15:47] And We will root out whatever of rancor is in their breasts—(they shall be) as brethren, on raised couches, face to face.

99-/5889 _2- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ:عَنْ عِدَّةٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا،عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ،عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ،عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ عِنْدَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)إِذْ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ أَبُو بَصِيرٍ-وَ ذَكَرَ حَدِيثاً-قَالَ لَهُ:«يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ،لَقَدْ ذَكَرَكُمُ اللَّهُ فِي كِتَابِهِ،فَقَالَ: إِخْوَانًا عَلَى سُرُرٍ مُتَقَابِلِينَ وَ اللَّهِ،مَا أَرَادَ بِهَذَا غَيْرَكُمْ».

99-/5889 _2- Muhammad b. Ya‘qūb: from several of our companions, from Sahl b. Ziyād, from Muhammad b. Sulaymān, from his father, who said: I was with Abū ‘Abd Allāh (peace be upon him) when Abū Baṣīr entered—[and he mentioned a hadith]—he said to him: “O Abā Muhammad, Allah has mentioned you in His Book, saying: ‘(They shall be) as brethren, on raised couches, face to face.’ By Allah, He intended none but you by this.”
