He -asws said...

He -asws said: ‘Then his book will come flying in from behind him, so it would settle on his left. Then an Angel would come to him and pierce his chest all the way to his back, then turn his left side to behind his back. ثم يقال له: اقرأ كتابك. قال فيقول: كيف أقرأ و جهنم أمامي؟ قال: فيقول الله: دق عنقه، و اكسر صلبه، و شد ناصيته، إلى قدميه، ثم يقول: خُذُوهُ فَغُلُّوهُ. Then he will say to him: ‘Read your book’.

So he would say, ‘How can I read while Hell is in front of me?’ Allah -azwj will Say: ‘‘Break his neck, and break his backbone, and tighten his forehead to his feet’‘. Then He -azwj will Say: “ Seize him and shackle him!” [69:30] ’. قال: فيبتدره لتعظيم قول الله سبعون ألف ملك غلاظ شداد، فمنهم من ينتف لحيته، و منهم من يعض لحمه، و منهم من يحطم عظامه، قال: فيقول: أما ترحموني؟ He -asws said: ‘Regarding the Words of Allah -azwj , seventy thousand Angels of extreme cruelty would surprise him.

So, from among them would be one who would pluck his beard, and from them would be one who would bite his flesh, and from among them would be one who would break his bones’. He would be saying, ‘Will you not have mercy on me?’ قال: فيقولون: يا شقي، كيف نرحمك و لا يرحمك أرحم الراحمين! أ فيؤذيك هذا؟ قال: فيقول: نعم، أشد الأذى. قال: فيقولون: يا شقي، و كيف لو طرحناك في النار؟ He -asws said: ‘They would be saying, ‘O wretch!

How can we have mercy on you, and the most Merciful One -azwj did not have Mercy on you? Is this hurting you?’ He would be saying, ‘Yes, it hurts extremely’. So they would be saying, ‘O wretch! And how would it be if we flung you into the Fire?’ قال: فيدفعه الملك في صدره دفعة فيهوي سبعين ألف عام، قال: فيقولون: يا لَيْتَنا أَطَعْنَا اللَّهَ وَ أَطَعْنَا الرَّسُولَا So the Angel on his chest would fling him, and he would fall for seventy thousand years’.

So he would be saying, ‘Oh, if only we have obeyed Allah and obeyed the Rasool!’ [33:66] ’’ قال: فيقرن معه حجر [عن يمينه‏]، و شيطان عن يساره، حجر كبريت من نار يشتعل في وجهه، و يخلق الله له سبعين جلدا، كل جلد غلظه أربعون ذراعا، [بذراع الملك الذي يعذبه، و] بين الجلد إلى الجلد [أربعون ذراعا، و بين الجلد إلى الجلد] حيات و عقارب من نار، و ديدان من نار، He -asws said: ‘So he would be paired with a rock from his right and a devil from his left, a stone of sulphur from Fire burning in his face.
