1. Al-Husayn ibn Yahya ibn Durays al-Bajali said: My father said: Abu Ja`far Muhammad ibn `Imran al-Sukkari al-Siryani said: Ibrahim ibn `Asim said in Qazwin that `Abd Allah ibn Harun al-Karkhi said: Abu Ja`far Ahmad ibn `Abd Allah ibn Yazid ibn Sallam ibn `Ubayd Allah said: Abu `Abd Allah ibn ibn Yazid related to me that Abu Yazid ibn Sallam related to me, on the authority of his father Sallam ibn `Ubayd Allah, on the authority `Abd Allah ibn Sallam freed slave of the Messenger of Allah that I asked the Messenger of Allah :

“Tell me: Will Allah, the Mighty and High, punish His Creation without evidence?” He replied, “Allah forbid.” I asked, “Then, do the children of monotheists go to Heaven or Hell? Hence, he replied, Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, is more adequate for them. When the Day of Judgment comes and Allah, the Mighty and High, assembles creation to deliver His Judgment. He will bring forth the children of the monotheists, and will ask them: “O My Servants! Who is your Lord? What is your religion? And what deeds have you brought forth?” They will reply: “O our Allah, our Lord, You created us, while we did no create anything. You made us die, while we did not make anything die. However, You did no make our tongues speak, nor our ears hear, nor did you give us a Book to guide us or send us a messenger to follow. We know nothing more than what You have taught us.” The Mighty and High will reply to them: “O My Servants! If I gave you an order, would you follow it?”” They will say: “O our Lord, listening and obedience belongs to You.” The reporter says: he said: Allah, the Mighty and High, will command a fire from Hell, called al-Falaq, which is the most severe in punishment in Hell. Thus, it will come out of its place, black, darkened, and covered with chains and shackles. Allah, the Mighty and High, will command it to blow in the face of creation, and it will blow. As a result of the blow, the heaven will be covered, the starts will be obliterated, the oceans will freeze, the mountains will crumble, the vision will be impeded, pregnant women will miscarry, and the hair of children will turn grey out of horror on the Day of Judgment. Then Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, will command the children of the monotheists to cast themselves into that fire. Thus, whoever was privileged in the Knowledge of Allah, the Mighty and High, from before will cast themselves into the fire. The fire, however, will become cool for them, and a source of safety, as it was for Ibrahim . Those whomever Allah, the Mighty and High, knows to be adverse, however, will refuse to throw themselves into the fire. Hence, Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, will command the fire to gather them for failing to heed Allah’s command, and for refusing to enter the fire. As a result they will be in Hell in succession to their forefathers. Such is the Word of the Mighty and High: Then (some) of them shall be unhappy and (others) happy. So as to those who are unhappy, they shall be in the fire; for them shall be sighting and groaning in it: Abiding therein so long as the heavens and the earth endure, except as your Lord please; surely your Lord is the Mighty Doer of what He intends. And as to those who are made happy, they shall be in the garden, abiding in it as long as the heavens and the earth endure, except as your Lord please; a gift which shall never be cut off.
