ذِكْرُ الْإِخْبَارِ عَنْ هِدَايَةِ مَنْ يَخْرُجُ مِنَ النَّارِ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ بِمَسَاكِنِهِ وَمَنَازِلِهِ فِي الْجَنَّةِ

[Machine] On the authority of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he said, "When the believers are saved from the Fire, they will be stopped at a bridge between Paradise and Hell. They will seek retribution for injustices that occurred between them in the world. When they are cleansed and purified, they will be granted permission to enter Paradise. By the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, no one of them will be left in their dwelling in Paradise without finding and guiding to it their place in the world."

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When the believers pass safely over (the bridge across) Hell, they will be stopped at a bridge in between Hell and Paradise where they will retaliate upon each other for the injustices done among them in the world, and when they get purified of all their sins, they will be admitted into Paradise.

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The believers, after being saved from the (Hell) Fire, will be stopped at a bridge between Paradise and Hell and mutual retaliation will be established among them regarding wrongs they have committed in the world against one another. After they are cleansed and purified (through the retaliation), they will be admitted into Paradise; and by Him in Whose Hand Muhammad's soul is, everyone of them will know his dwelling in Paradise better than he knew his dwelling in this world."

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The believers will be saved from the Fire on the Day of Resurrection and they will be detained on a bridge between Paradise and the Fire. They will seek justice for the wrongs that were done between them in the worldly life. When they are purified and cleansed, permission will be granted to enter Paradise. I swear by the One in whose hand is my soul, one of them will show more generosity in his place in Paradise to his companion than his place in the worldly life."

"إِذا خَلَصَ المؤمنون منَ النَّارِ حُبسُوا بقنْطرة بينَ الجنةِ والنارِ، فيتقَاصُّونَ مظالمَ كانَتْ بينهم في الدُّنْيا، حتَّى إِذَ نُقُوا وَهُذِّبوا أُذِنَ لهُمْ بدخولِ الجنةِ، فَوالذي نفسُ محمد بيدهِ، لأحدُهم بِمَسكَنِهِ في الجنَّةِ أدَلُّ بمسكنِه كانَ في الدنْيا".
